With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.
So I am wondering if it’s possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?
My set-up doesn’t include a smart tv … I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.
So mine is a good LCD > HDMI’d to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.
Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.
Yeah, problem is if you want a modern TV, you don’t have a choice. You either get a smart TV or suffer
I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)
Dumb question: Is the video resolution limited by the laptop display resolution? What if LCD has a higher available resolution?
If I’m streaming a 4K the resolution is limited by my non-4K tv. Other than that the resolution is dictated by the stream itself (ie: some are DVD quality, some are low res for those who have poor bandwidth, etc).
Many of the streams I access show the size of the file stream so you can choose the best one for you.
No there’s nothing like this. You’ll still have to search and download stuff before watching it.
You can have your setup auto download lists and try to mimic things. But you’ll never be able to have the mindless scrolling like Netflix. Don’t let anyone convince you there’s a solution out there currently.
Netflix UI, sure. Plex does a great job with showing content from all over. But it’s still not the same cohesiveness.
You forgot about Stremio. It’s exactly what OP is looking for. Every show and movie from every streaming platform, all in one place.
So you’re telling me Stremio let’s you stream anything from any platform, for free?
This is based on torrents, this is terrible advice for the basic user because they won’t be using vpns to mask anything. There’s literally no solution that will suffice for OP if they’re looking to be safe.
I use jellyfin and it has a really nice ui

A lot of people recommend Plex, which I’m sure is great, but if you want an actual Netflix GUI, Titan Bingie Mod for Kodi is the way to go. From what I understand about Plex, Titan Bingie on Kodi provides all of the same features.
