Servers. There's going to be more people, more people that have access to technology and internet and a lot of services are online.

Not only that, but look at how big data centers, how much cooling they need (They need a LOT of water), it could make it more efficient.

But to be fair this article writes very little about something that is just a proof of concept.

Why do you need this when you can use simple wired headphones?

Clearly because of wires and just about why wireless options exist about anything... It's not like wireless headphones are something new, there is clearly people buying them and cheaper options have appeared than when they first came out.

I've been using Manjaro for a while now and haven't had problems. 🤔

Yes, you are correct. But I must say that Stremio does have its cons and is that it doesn't run everything locally.

  • When you run Stremio it runs a server in the background where you can access content from any browser in your network (port 11470) BUT the webpage itself loads external resources from app.strem.io, if you lose internet connection or for some reason app.strem.io is down then you won't be able to access the server to watch content. Jellyfin runs everything locally.

  • To me it is very sketchy how they hide their "guest login" option and force you to create an account to use stremio and authenticate with a remote server. There are no local accounts. Jelly does have local accounts, you can limit their download speed, control the devices they use and the movies they can watch.

I guess you could run your own stremio server but doesn't look like an easy task as they don't provide binaries and you have to compile and configure the different components yourself.

I'm not sure if Jellyfin has a torrent plugin, like I said, Stremio with the torrent plugin seems to be the replacement of popcorn time.

If you have movies or shows stored in your disk, then you can run Jellyfin and anyone with a browser will be able to watch what you have stored. You can setup accounts for your family members like you'd have in Netflix so they can keep track of what they are watching and what they have watched, limit access to certain content, etc. It's very configurable in that sense. I'd say the UI is user-friendly.

You can check-out their demo here https://demo.jellyfin.org/stable/web/index.html

I like to use Jellyfin. It has a nice UI and easy to access platform over a local network, though looks to me like stremio and their torrent plugins geared towards to people who want to pirate shows and movies like popcorn time.

Aah there it is. Where did you find it?

It's not open source afaik. I couldn't find a link to a git repository on their website, had to go on twitter to find a tweet where they had a link. Apparently they open source some of their tools only. https://resonate.github.io/
