What's the current "standard" for a media server setup these days?

I haven't tried it personally but I have major part of standalone packages they use running on my file server at home. This gives you pre-built VM, you just need a host to deploy it to. So another vote for Plex here.

I have never tried that. Interesting.

"CouchPotato (CP) is an automatic NZB and torrent downloader. You can keep a "movies I want"-list and it will search for NZBs/torrents of these movies every X hours. Once a movie is found, it will send it to SABnzbd or download the torrent to a specified directory."
That doesn't sound illegal at all.

Android and windows, mostly use windows. The setup of addons in android is way too tedious, too much typing with the tiny Fire stick remote.

Just because the software is there, it doesn't mean you have to use it. Opera browser has built-in torrent client, yet that doesn't mean it will be used to download illegal content.

Ok, but the very paragraph they use to describe their software is literally illegal. "movies I want" list that automatically downloads the movies?
I just found it funny. People will use software and networks for whatever reason, but CouchPotato literally describes their software as something to do illegal things with.

Technically, there are torrent services for free, public domain movies too.

"Judge, what I meant by 'Batman Returns' is an indie open source movie that's freely available from some media company in Australia. ..... what's that, no such film exists? Oh, I guess I was wrong. Maybe it was 'Batman Le Runes', a French film......"
