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.
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.
Greetings from across the ditch, I never use vpn for torrents as it's not actively monitored here at the moment. Is that different over there?
Few years back around Dallas Buyers Club there was a big crackdown and ISPs brought in this 3 strikes rule. People got some letters and warnings.
So I'm not sure what it's like these days but why take a chance?
Yeah good point. As I just subbed to Easynews which comes with free PrivadoVPN, just configured qbittorrent to use Privado :) Super easy with Docker and https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
Kia ora! I would also like to know this. Been sailing the torrential seas for decades now without a VPN. Although I do remember some years ago about a law change (something something National something something The Hobbit something something DMCA something something tax writes off's) where we got a letter from our ISP warning us about the law change and not to do anything naughty or we would receive a DMCA notice. Nothing has ever come of it since. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I think it doesn't have priority at the moment. It used to be a three strike thing anyway so if you get a first strike you can easily enable vpn then :)
