Can you please share more about what you mean? I am getting to the point of looking for alternatives to these streaming services including getting a NAS to start a home media server, but I want to make sure I cover all of my bases first.
You would be looking for an article, guide, or YouTube video that describes setting up: Plex or Jellyfin Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr Sabnzbd There are many well written ones out there.

Cool, so now when I'm traveling and don't want to log into Netflix on whatever TV at the location I'm staying at (or maybe they don't have a Netflix app), I'll just not watch Netflix. Pretty soon I won't be able to watch Netflix anywhere so I'll just cancel my subscription due to lack of use.
I know some hotel brands have the ability on their TVs to allow streaming service sign-in. And it'll log you out and erase your details once your stay is done if you forget to do it yourself....
I know some hotel brands have the ability on their TVs to allow streaming service sign-in. And it'll log you out and erase your details once your stay is done if you forget to do it yourself. Which makes me wonder if there's some kinda data harvesting partnership going on between Netflix and the hotel brand where casting from a personal device obviously doesn't allow the hotel to harvest that data.
Well jokes on them. I always travel with a laptop, a travel router, and an HDMI cable. There's only been a handful of hotels where I couldn't just plug in from my laptop because the TV or media box thing was locked down, or it was basically impossible to get access to the cables behind the TV. And if all else fails, I'll just use my laptop. Nbd for me. But most hotel TVs I've seen and used are essentially wide-open devices.
(Yes I'm aware that Netflix has also started restricting or limiting viewing on devices that aren't at "home." Which is what the travel router is for. Still BS.)
My LPT is plugging in an iPad or phone with a USB-C to HDMI cable. It just screen mirrors, and doesn't use the AirPlay/Chromecast APIs, so it's opaque to the application. I do that when travelling...

I do that when travelling sometimes, and also for things like live-streamed concerts or video from sites that don't have TV apps (e.g. Critical Role's Beacon).
Noticed it was gone this weekend, thought it was just me. Not sure if this is a depreciated API or cracking down on the household limitations, but it will be missed.

Of course this literally happens on the week I go on vacation. Jokes on them though, they don’t actually have anything I want to watch. And yet I pay them anyways….

You will consume the media you pay for in exactly the ways in which we let you. You own nothing.

I'm sure it still requires HDCP, so not exactly opaque. It's at least trying to verify the chain of connections.
