maybe they remember popcorntime or whatever the normie torrents were called

>>106796752
>popcorntime
Didn't they have a built in torrent scraper? Probably why they got shutdown. Stremio is just a content aggregator at its core like Kodi.

>>106796825
And we all know Kodi's never had legal issues

You made me look it up and it's just torrenting with extra steps? What's there to gatekeep?

>>106798985
you should be gatekept out the internet and first world countries

>>106799233
zoomers are too tech illiterate and scared of torrenting. put up a website and a mobile app and those extra steps make it accessible to them

i thought reddit was obsessed with plex and jellyfin

>>106799233
Stremio has alot less steps, and you don't have to juggle between different apps
>search up a movie on stremio
>press the movie
>pick the torrent
>watch instantly

Huh? I will keep using jellyfin

>>106796685
Reddit's doing something good for once?

>>106796825
They got shutdown because it was a 1 click piracy solution. This is also super easy to setup, but having to connect stremio to a scraping plugin which is connected to a debrid (basically giant torrent cache / seedbox that send you files via https) is too hard for normies. You can't distribute 1 click solutions or you get shutdown instantly, giving the tools to connect things together to recreate popcorn time easily is the right way to keep all three things working.

>>106799233
If you set it up properly you don't torrent anything, the (paid) debrid provider does. But pricing is like $20 for 6 months for instant access all media ever created. More than worth it. People are going to pull the 'imagine paying to pirate lmao' routine but it's worth it.

Before stremio:
> invite someone over
> lets watch a movie anon
> oh you don't have netflix?
> just tell me what you want and I can torrent it
> either they get the ick at this point and leave or they tell you
> you google it
> torrent it on your pc
> have to wait 5-20min to finish downloading it
> copy it to usb
> plug it into your smart tv / htpc
> start watching.

After stremio:
> invite someone over
> lets watch a movie anon
> give them the remote
> they scroll through and pick what they want
> hit play
> movie starts streaming

It's basically what we thought the future of streaming would be like, not the reality where everything is on 30 separate services and they expect you to pay $300 a month if you want access to everything.

>>106796936
From what I've seen it's mostly indians and south americans using it. Have yet to meet someone IRL (europe) who knows about Stremio, despite them hosting plex and jellyfin servers.

>>106799292
They are, the majority of them definitely have the "Not my drive not my media" mentality.

>>106800745
imagine paying to pirate lmao

>>106801305
why would i, someone who can afford an 8TB drive + set up jellyfin, pay to pirate when i can do it myself?

>>106800745
I didn't take time to read anything about Stremio, so to someone who hosts a Plex server, Overseerr + *arr, can I set up my own debrid server to avoid having to pay?

>>106801408
I also had the jellyfin *arr setup on my homeserver, but never really saw the point in hoarding, just wanted to watch anything and move on. When I found out about Stremio it was an easy switch. Also like this guy >>106800745 said, torrenting scare women away. My gf used netflix when I had my jellyfin server but cancelled it once I showed her stremio.

>>106801410
There's really no point in self-hosting a debrid server, since the selling point of debrid services is that other people have already requested the movie and downloaded it onto the debrid server, so you just stream through the cache when you want to watch something which makes it extremely fast. If plex works for you and you don't want to pay you should stick to it.

>>106796685
Use case for watching something(anime) not on your PC?

t. never used reddit or stremio

Would use if debrids were free

does stremio have add-ons that just grab public torrents? My faggot uncle cannot comprehend why I would manually add files to jellyfin and he keeps trying to install random bullshit at my mom's house

i dont care

For context, if you are using stremio to pirate, you are propably using

>>106800745
>Before
Set up a local network with a shared storage and use sequential download, faggot

>>106806021
yeah this is the best way. A lot of one click apps are basically loaded onion and resivpn tunnels. You do not want that shit on your network

>>106796685
my most cheap friend swears by it
and it's terrible
without paying for debrid it's painfully slow unless you like watching shit in low quality (or it is a very recent release)
but he also cheaped out on his TV so maybe it doesn't matter after all

>>106796685
Buy an ad

>>106796685
it's funny because redditors are always screaming about how gatekeeping is umm actually... LE BAD.

>>106805943
This is autism. Thinning you can curate all movies ahead of time for people coming over. It also has more than just Netflix. You can connect stremio to plex I think. It's just a really good frontend and Netflix is a stand in for "normie friendly ui"

Private trackers solve all of that. Downloading a 25GB Dolby Vision Netflix capeslop takes only minutes.

>>106796685
I tried stremio and my mom got a letter from our ISP telling her to stop torrenting cartoon porn. It wasn't a good day.

I have this set up for my parents. That said, I tried the windows version on my PC and it's really sketchy, like it uses a ton of CPU sporadically for seemingly no reason.

>>106806643
You sure seem to know a lot about this. What gives?

>>106799386
juggling between different apps kek

>redditors thinking their default internet website is obscure enough to keep something secret
They really are just retards

>>106808552
You didn't set it up with debrid. By default the torrent add-ons will torrent directly and it's the same as using BitTorrent on a public tracker with no VPN.

>>106806021
Sequential download isn't fast enough for 4k remux streaming. Why am I going to bother with all that shit when I can just give a random debrid site $3 a month instead.

>but it's not on your computer streaming is bad anon
I don't care. 99% of the shit I watch streaming is fine. Because I don't care to watch it again so I don't need it taking up space on my computer. And for long flights or train rides I can just download the videos from debrid directly and watch them that way. The amount of autists in here that don't understand why someone would pay pennies for a super easy streaming setup is insane.

>>106800745
huh? normies just buy fire sticks with all this shit preloaded they don't setup anything

>>106808868
Stremio is too hard for normies to setup. But if you set it up for them then it's normie friendly. If that makes sense. The fire sticks with Kodi add-ons installed are sketchy and usually preloaded with malware. And if they do work quality is shit because they're connecting to sites like fmoviez or whatever.

>>106796685
They can't do anything to Stremio because the plugins are doing the streaming not the app itself. Stremio without extra plugins is just a legal stream aggregation app which is useful enough on its own. They can't blame the devs for third party plugins that access illegal sources.

>>106800745
The problem with these solutions is that they only work for people who fully understand english, tried popcorntime back in the day and the only other language option you had were basically subtitles.

So it's just a garbage plex alternative then? lol, be honest next time.

I still don't get it
the word torrent is all over this thread
why do I need this middleman

>>106802124
Linux mint is fine but I would honestly suggest fedora with gnome as a baby's first distro, not as user friendly but at least more up to date and without the ubongo shenanigans (although it comes with soidora dev mental illness of the month).

>>106808971
I dunno evidently it's good if you pay for it?

>>106809009
It's the convenience of instant steaming services with the library of piracy (aka everything) for an extremely low price. If you're fine with waiting for torrents to finish to watch stuff stick with that.

>>106809061
Basically it's yet another "do you not value your time" kind of copeware.

>>106805169
optimally you’d want to selfhost the aiostream addon and add a bunch of scraper addons (torrentio, comet, mediafusion, torrentsdb etc.) from it. Since torrentio goes down sometimes. Can also recommend the AI search addon its comfy

>>106809637
this vs jellyfin + *arr stack? I havent setup or know either, what's worth the time investment

>>106809829
Try stremio first. Takes 5 minutes to setup. Pay for a month of rd+ using a virtual credit card. If you hate it then do the arr shit it takes more work.

>>106796685
Just like with Kodi, I found it to be useless without pay2pirate bullshit like debrid. I'll stick to torrenting and illegal streaming apps that just work.

>>106808982
torrents here is mostly about the library size (so basically everything) you rarely torrent with rd + stremio, usually it has already been downloaded to a debrid provider like rd, you just stream the torrented file from their server, instead of having to download every movie you want to watch one time

>>106811135
so why do i need stremio? it sounds like i just need to pay for real debrid. wait. i'm trying to get shit for free. why am i paying?

>>106811175
Stremio just puts it all in one place so you don’t need to leave the app. metadata, personlized lists, torrent scrapers with debrid support and a player.
For me 2.50$/months is worth it for the convenience it brings.

>>106811175
You have to pay for a VPN to pirate in America anyway. Unless you like getting copyright love letters in the mail.

>I'm trying to get shit for free, why do I have to pay my Internet service provider

i can literally browse and download anything i want from my phone or even tv with some apps with radarr/sonarr/jellyfin/jellyserr. Only issue is 5mins to finish the download. Why the fuck would I want to stream it from some shit service. You can avoid the "ick" just by planning but really 5mins? who gives a fuck

>>106798985
kill yourself faggot.

do people really trust these debrid services

>>106811371
I've been using it for years with no issues. It's basically a giant communal seedbox. The worst thing that will happen is that it stops working one day.

>>106796685
>Stremio
how is this better than plex or jellyfin

>>106811517
You get the same quality as those two without having to find the torrent, wait for it to download, and deal with the *arr stack, since it streams the torrented file directly.
Drawback is you pay 2.50$ per month.

>>106811637
>same quality as those two without having to find the torrent, wait for it to download, and deal with the *arr stack, since it streams the torrented file directly
ok I suppose that's very convenient for lots of people. I'm a data hoarder so I think I'll need to stick with actual downloads myself

>>106812477
you are paying for a seedbox that supports direct streaming. You don't actually need to use stremio btw, you can connect it to kodi or whatever. /g/ is so depressing

>why would anyone ever use something I don't use? must be gay and shit

>>106800745
this is without a doubt the guy who made the service. and hes also the op.

>>106812519
>>why would anyone ever use something I don't use? must be gay and shit
Yes.

speaking of spoon feeding, is there a debrid searching thing that keeps track of nyaa besides torrentio?
