I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.
I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.
I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.
Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.
Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.
In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.
If you live in an area where you need a VPN to keep your ISP off your ass, well you're in luck because the Torrentio plug-in is compatible with Debrid services (Real-Debrid is a good one). They're cheaper than a VPN (less than €3/mo) and get you direct downloads which ISPs don't care about since you're not distributing files like you would with a torrent client. What's nice is that they work with any torrent—not just video—so you can download wherever you want at 1gbps speeds so long as the torrent has at least one seed. Since you're not actually interacting with the torrents themselves, there's no need for a VPN.
Setup is easy. The only thing you need to do is install the Stremio app on your TV, then open it and install the Torrentio plug-in. From there you configure your preferences like preferred resolution, language, etc, enter your Debrid service credentials if you have them; after that you install additional plug-ins for the kind of content you want. I'd recommend starting off with the Streaming Catalogs (lists popular content from Netflix, Amazon, Disney HBO, etc.)and Trakt.tv plug-ins (recommends content based on your viewing habits). There's also plug-ins for anime if that's your thing. Once you install the plug-ins you like, the only thing left to do is pick something to watch and enjoy. :)
You can also download the Stremio app to your phone and configure everything from there if you don't want to fumble with doing all of this with the TV remote. I'd recommend doing it this way so that all you have to do on the TV is fire up the Stremio app and enjoy.
Uploading copyrightes material is illegal pretty much everywhere I know of.
Many places don't enforce those laws for simply torrenting.
Some countries (US) ask the ISP to send warning letters and might disable the internet. In other countries law firms get personal details from the ISP and send a costly letter of a thousand Euro for a single infraction like in Germany.
That's true, but ISPs have logs. And if something happens that makes the police change their mind about enforcing the law, you might be fucked, retroactively.
Again, not an issue if you use a Debrid service, because no files are being uploaded.
Exactly, which is why you don't need a VPN if you use a Debrid service. No files are being uploaded. The Debrid service handles that for you by downloading the torrent to a remote server, than giving you a direct download link to the file. Nothing is being uploaded from your end.

Bro you asked for a guide, I gave you a guide. The fuck you want from me? (For convenience sake I even made as short as possible. Literally less than a 45 second read.)
I put a lot of effort into that comment to help you out, and instead of saying "thank you", you respond with this bullshit? What the hell is wrong with you?
Ungrateful prick.
I asked for a guide on how to setup a VPN on my LG TV.
Please specifically point out where in your long repo se you provided a guide on how to run a VPN on my LG TV.
Again, you don't need a VPN if you follow my guide. Your reading comprehension is worse than mine, and I have ADHD. *sigh*
I’m not asking how to do it without a VPN, I’m asking how to do it WITH a VPN.
Not sure what’s hard to understand.
And I'm telling you that you don't have to if you use a Debrid service.
But if you insist: all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV's DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.
To anyone reading this, this is not how a VPN works. A VPN (generally) requires a piece of software that gets installed on a client device and securely connects your device to a VPN server. Just pointing DNS entries to the IP address you use to connect to a VPN won’t actually connect you to the VPN.
If that worked, why would the major VPN providers have software based clients?
I know but what you specifically want is not possible. But yet again it doesn't matter because you don't need a VPN when you use a Debrid service.
At this point you're just harassing me to be a pendantic asshole. So I'm going to do what's best for my mental health and dip out of this conversation. You are exhausting. ✌️
You would have saved yourself the headache if you responded to my question with “…what you specifically want is not possible.”
