Apple TV vs Firestick for pirated movies and series?

(Repost ish, from Technology), So I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I’ll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this in terms of pirated content? Which is more accessible and I reckon both support Jellyfin?

I've got both a fire TV stick 4k and acorresponding Mi tv stick, both mainly for jellyfin, and would recommend the latter. Basically same price, both work fine for the purpose but fire has their ads on the home screen whereas Mi is more clean and has the Google play store, making some things easier to install. The Mi apps you can just disable.

Fire stick has too many ads and hostile decisions, you can’t even turn it off

A decade ago I had a jailbroken apple TV 2 and it was great with what now is called infuse, it took videos directly via SMB and showed them with a really slick interface.

So between the two… I’d buy an Androidtv (real, not a fake Chinese one, like that "Chromecast with Google TV)

If it wasn’t so expensive I’d buy an apple TV again just for infuse. A decade ago was more reasonably priced compared to the competition, right now…

You can get a used apple tv on eBay for <$50 btw

Mr_Blott ,

Would a Raspberry Pi not solve your problems? I’m not even into programming and I still have fun with it

They’re great for server side, but personally I wouldn’t use one as a streaming client.

Chromecast with googletv 4k + stremio + torrentio plugin + debrid subscription

hands down the best experience if you don’t want to meddle with plex and just watch things netflix-style.
