I regret convincing my parents to subscribe to Netflix instead of using Torrent or Emule. Fuck these fucking companies that now cost more than bluerays and broadcast content with crappy quality if you don't have a platform that knows how much you're shitting yourself

You can always setup a nice Plex server and give them all the movies they want.

It's not like you can't unsubscribe from Netflix

I have to find the time to do it, I had seen jellyfin as a solution, but I also have to find something that acts as a server, my raspberry pi 3B+ is not powerful enough for 1080p+ streaming

If you parents have a standard TV stick or Apple TV their devices support a variety of codecs.

This means that you can "direct stream" content from Plex / Jellyfin with minimal CPU impact.

At 1080p it should at least support ~4 direct streams when it doesn't have to "transcode".

That said, even if it is weak by today's standards it's a good platform to learn the setup on. Then you can move to something else more powerful (but still cheap) once you understand it all.

At least that's how I did it, 3b+ -> Pentium J5040
