The problem with any media heavy content is storage. Fediverse is diy, mom’s basement servers. Who’s going to pay for all the storage?

anyway to use torrent protocol somehow? Like popcorn time did?

Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.

If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.
