There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

  • Cheap
  • Quick & Easy Setup
  • Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
  • Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I’ll have to manually search, but this is rare.

    I have a pretty advanced setup. Big dual xeon server with 40TB of drives. Dockerized everything running radarr, medusa, deluge, jackett, vpn etc. I’m a pixel snob and love the 4k remuxes with lossless Dolby sound for my Atmos speaker setup.

    BUT I read about stremio toreentio and RD a few times here in this community and thought I’d install it on my NVIDIA shield.

    And we use it ALL THE TIME!

    It’s just so easy even for someone with my hugely automated setup.

    It’s perfect for anything you’re probably only going to watch once.

    The Sopranos, The Wire, Better call Saul… Yeah download it cause I rewatch it often.

    Fboy Island or whatever guilty pleasure reality tv garbage… Stremio it is.

    1917 or The Godfather. Download highest quality. Legally Blonde for movie night with my daughter … stremio.

    It’s a great little app and setup.

      I’m curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?

        I’m not the guy above, but I dont see how they’re comparable really. One is god knows how many monthly subscriptions for the rest of time, or the up front cost of storage.
