I love this image, usually when I talk well about Stremio they think I’m shitting on Kodi, and that couldn’t be more far from the truth!
I like this duo beating up companies and I use both!
I remember using Kodi around 2012 and it was a bit of a hassle to get it set up initially (install different repos etc.) since out of the box it was very vanilla. Is it still the same process or has it gotten better where users can hit the ground running after install?
I started using it on Linux, then a Mi Box and finally and since then a Nvidia Shield TV Pro, I think it maybe has the same “difficult” steps to set it up (meaning navigating through many menus and using the keyboard several times, something not ideal on a device with a remote), if you go with the default skin (which I despise) then you can save a lot of time thinkering (I kinda don’t mind this).
Anyway, when you have your setup working as you want it then it requires low maintenance, add-ons can auto update themselves and I haven’t found they broke horribly or feel the need to disable auto update and check changelogs for every version before updating lol.
It definitely isn’t as plug and play as with, let’s say Stremio, but once you set it up you have a lot more flexibility, filters, customization, you name it.
But then you have to host all of it yourself right? Why would people want to go through that hassle when Stremio + debrid is cheap as hell?
Would put Plex in there as well if it wasn’t for their recent opt-out streaming history visibility update.
No need to use Plex
Comics like this assume that the service in question has anything worth pirating. We’re talking about Disney here, though.
Disney owns 30 percent of media. Just because you don’t care about what they have doesn’t mean it’s not worth to someone.
I’m saying this as someone who is in a similar boat where I don’t really care for anything they make beyond the occasional marvel movie but not all and also I’ll just pirate what I like anyways.
They inherited tons of good stuff people seem to ignore. I think that’s partly because big chunks of that library are still available on other services, but if they decide to make everything they own exclusive, it’ll be much more of a pain in the ass.
