plex just plays things though, it's not really a good kodi comparison (note: I've never seen kodi and only just sussed out that it actually streams stuff from general locations). Sonarr sounds interesting though.
I rely on Pir4t3b4y still (through some stupid proxy URL) and it's still fine enough in general. That said I'm probably just going to resubscribe to HBO at least while GoT is running because doing this all the time is kind of a pain in the ass.

it's really less about spending the money, which I'm willing to do, and more about ease of use these days. But there's always SOMETHING that's hard to find.

I have been through all of this and then some over the past few years and here are my thoughts:
Setting up Kodi isn't too difficult but it's such a pain in the ass to maintain, it feels like the good add-ons expire every 6-9 months and you constantly have to add and configure new shit as the old shit becomes obsolete, and then when you DO set stuff, once you pick a movie it scans all of these different available sources and then takes several minutes and the quality is very hit or miss. For as infrequently as I used it (a few times a month) it very quickly became not worth it.
Plex, otoh, is amazing. I was using it on my laptop but then got a free computer from work and installed Linux Mint and threw in a 1TB drive and now I just have a dedicated always-on Plex server and it's great. I find most of what I need streaming and for the things I can't, RARBG is usually decent (also I set up web access on the Plex machine's torrent client so I can add the torrents to the Plex server from my Windows laptop, v nifty)
obv a private tracker would be even better, I would def do this over trying to fuck w Kodi. what a headache.
