There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:
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.
http://movie-web.app is the most simple one to have.
Yep, and if you are on mobile, Cloudstream is where it's at.
Is there an app for Android TV? I like the web interface.
If your android tv browser is updated enough, you can watch via android tv browser. Otherwise use Chromecast feature.
Been using Stremio/Syncler + RealDebrid for a while but this is awesome! Definitely something to share with friends who aren't as savvy lol
Yeah. It is easier than watching Netflix.
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.
Are you in the US? I'm curious if you use a VPN with streamio?
I'm in Australia and no VPN for stremio because I use real-debrid. As I understand it I'm just direct downloading from there. If I didn't have RD and had to torrent for stremio I'd use a VPN for sure.
I guess you are not renting that setup from someone, right? (colo?) I am asking because I have been renting a dedicated server from Hetzner for a few years now (one AX line, other from auction - got a good disc space with it) and with the price hike it's getting a bit costly (and can't self-host).
No I built it. It's in my garage in a server rack. I lucky to have gigabit fibre internet.
I got tired of kodi's shit configuration interface and came across a tutorial for setting this up (pre-reddit enshitification) about a year ago and it has hugely changed how we consume media in our house.
Same here. Ditched Kodi with Stremio in ccwgtv 4k, can't be happier. Kodi is so user unfriendly and super annoying to install apps.
I really only want books, but all I have is an iOS device…if you had an easy for that I’d be interested
Zlibrary / libgen and just open the files in apple books. Works across devices for me.
It doesn’t get much easier than using library genesis on your iOS device. You’ll have a book within seconds.
I don’t think piracy is the best solution for books, instead download an e library app like Libby. Then connect one or multiple library cards (some major libraries allow you to get an e-card even if you don’t live in the city). Now you have easy access to a huge catalog of books and ebooks that sync across devices
Sure, until the VC firm that bought overdrive (backend for Libby) decides to run it into the ground even further. Z-lib and MAM all the way. Can't sell my reading habits if they don't collect my reading habits.
I second the library. If you're looking for something too niche for a library's online section it might be too niche for whatever piracy solution you can find on iOS anyways. Plus, your taxes are paying for it, might as well use it!
Can you configure streamio as a source for Kodi Player? Can you configure it with subtitles from OpenSubtitles?
Edit: I just did a bunch of research and it looks like Real Debrid is the actual source I'd set up in Kodi player. Streamio is just a player and streamer.
I downloaded Streamio to my Chromecast and tried to use it, but it's forcing a login. During the account creation process I decided to actually read the privacy policy, considering what the use for the player will be. They collect information about your use, they log your IP address, the times and dates when you use the player, they set cookies, and most importantly, they share analytics data with the following services:
They say that they don't keep logs of your streaming sources, or watch history, but like any other privacy policy, they could change that whenever they want. Everything I read just now indicates that Streamio makes a better player than Kodi, but given the above considerations I think I'll stick with Kodi.
Thanks for the post though! You got me to do a bunch of research and turned me onto Real Debrid. I've seen a lot of posts about these services, but this is the first one that prompted me to learn more and now I understand how it all works. Cheers.
For your last point, you can add torrentio twice (in the order you want results to appear). One with only Real-debrid links, and one with "RD Download" links, for entries that have torrents available to torrentio, but haven't been cached. This will download the torrent to Real-debrid first, so it's definitely not as fast!
Could someone ELI5 how this works?
I just finished the docker containers setup with VPN - qbittorrent - sonarr/radarr/..arr - jellyfish and it's not well automated yet, but quite safe and not too complicated to use.
Recently had to pay quite a settlement for being too clumsy and too lazy in my country, so worried how Stremio works and if it could leak.
What happened? How did you get caught?
doesn't realdbird require real money?
Just built a new fancy desktop couldn't get kodi to play any audio. Looked into alternatives found stremio and god damn is it easy to setup. Plus you can just make an account sign in on other devices and its all setup just like w.e machine you originally used.
Could somebody give me advice regarding this?
I have a samsung tv which doesn't seem to properly allow stremio. Is there a possibility to run it over some sort of micro computer, preferably a raspberry pi? What are the requisitions? And in addition, could you recommend me an OS that maximizes user experience for streamio?
I have a seed box and big Nas at home. I’m interested in just streaming anime and tv content I hate downloading them.
Is this what I need? How privacy focused is it? Where does content come from?
TLDR?
TL;DR:
* Stremio is a digital media player that allows you to stream high-quality videos and add subtitles.
* Torrentio is an unofficial add-on for Stremio that allows you to stream movies and TV shows from torrent sites.
* Real Debrid is a debrid service that allows you to connect directly to a server instead of having your IP shared in peer-to-peer and to speed up performance.
Privacy is good. You are just streaming the links through HTTPS link that Real Debrid offer you. You can use without a VPN but if you want to be cautious you can use one on top of it.
Sounds like a seed box? Im assuming it’s a paid service do they take untraceable payment methods?
Similar to a seed box but not the same. Real-Debrid is just another Debrid service. You can use another other Debrid service that Torrentio supports. Real-Debrid just happens to be the cheapest and most used of the bunch.
From what i understand, Stremio is just an interface, it doesnt work without plugins
Torrentio is the main plugin you want. The one you use your real debrid account on.
Real debrid is a service that torrents your movie for you, so you are not the one torrenting. Its potentially faster bc if its a movie that it has saved already, maybe because someone else downloaded it recently, you dont have to wait for the torrent to complete. RD also has the bonus of being able to download from multiple file hosters as a premium user.
Anyways when you configure stremio and search for the movie, it will look for any torrent and then you can stream it directly, without downloading.
debrid scraping has gotten much worse since rarbg's downfall. it doesnt seem to scrape torrentgalaxy correctly and idk how to fix it
I have been using Kodi and real-debrid on all of my devices for like 6+ years. I recently tried Stremio and it is a much more streamlined experience for this use case.
Only complaint about the debrid services is what is available depends on what other users added to the service already. So most of the Anime I watch isn't easily available through it. So I have a self hosted solution to acquire anime. Everything else is very accessible with less effort then torrenting or usenet.
This is the setup I’m using. I ordered a tablet as a dedicated device and looking forward to it getting here. We’re all iOS phones and tablets so I needed something else. In the Meantime I have an old android phone I tested it with but it has a swollen battery that split the back open so I’d rather replace it and I’m pretty sure a decent tablet would be snappier so it’s been an investment but only a couple hundred bucks total. I’ve cut paramount, Disney, appletv, hbomax, Hulu, and faith & family. I had no reason for all the bs and it just really crept up on me over a few years after I got a good job. I’m keeping Netflix because I like the standup comedian stuff, it’s only $7 with T-Mobile, and I’ve also made a mint on them in stock so w/e.
The only thing I haven’t been able to find was my kids wanted to watch elemental. I’d love some more categories to find stuff when I’m in a mood but not sure what to watch. Was thinking maybe theirs a website I could find that would do that better anyway though and just search for it once I find it.
