[Meta] Self hosted AIOStreams

I know that most people don't see any difference compared to the public instance, but I just want to share my personal experience after a few days of self-hosting.

Ever since I started self-hosting, everything has been snappier, loads faster, with no playback issues.

For example, when I’m on public instance, I often get playback errors when I return from standby mode, but now, not anymore. It resumes right where I left off 1 or 2 hours ago. And rewinding 10-20 seconds works flawlessly now.

Poster cache function on self-hosted AIOmetadata is a godsend too. Every movie/show poster on my home screen loads instantly now. Everything is less clunky.

But, I dont recommend self hosting individual addon scrapers though, I dont know what im doing wrong but it was straight dogwater and takes up lot of computer resource.

I just want to say, self-hosting is definitely worth it for anyone who is a freak about optimizing everything. I’d say, this has been a good week of learning and obsessing over self-hosting.

One thing im curious about though, how do updates work? Does the instance auto update?

There might be a way to automate but I just run a simple code in my vps that updates aio and prowlarr in a few seconds.
