Try Usenet, you don't need to worry about a VPN that way

You can only access it by paying, right?

Also, do you think there's content with subtitles or in languages other than English? (Italian, for example)

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There's subs in a lot of languages. But it really depends on the community

The price for an indexer + unlimited regular usenet from most providers is about 100 bucks a year. So cheaper than a single normal streaming service.

Yes generally, but it can be very cheap. Some places sell block accounts which let you pay a one time fee for a set amount of data. Black Friday deals are coming up, and you an usually get amazing deals (1TB for under $5, able to be purchased multiple times, or subscriptions which work out to a couple dollars/euros a month).

The other thing you'd need is an indexer. Some are free, but for the best experience you'd want to pay for acess to a private indexer. Usually a few bucks as well, almost all of the big ones run sales this time of the year.

For subtitles: there are several solutions. Jellyfin (and Plex) support finding subtitles that you either download with a tool like Bazarr, or via Jellyfin/Plex's own interface. Bazarr auto downloads them based on your parameters you give it though.

Okay, so maybe I could try it first with a block account and an indexer. I'll keep an eye on black Friday deals. Thank you :)
