With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it’s possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

    For the tv app part:

    You can use jellyfin to host your media, it has apps for many types of television. The jellyfin-specific fork of overseer is called jellyseer.

      Yeah but you have to delve into developer tools and build the app from source for TizenTV

      That was the reason I went with Plex instead of jellyfin for me

        It’s pretty easy to build the tizen app , only sucks you have rebuild to add updates. Works great though.

        I have no experience with Samsung TVs, did not know it was more involved. At least for Android TV and Amazon fire TV it’s basically one click.
