I’ve seen a lot of posts about how to watch new and old movies and shows for free. This is for you, guys!
Stremio and Cloudstream offer cord-cutters a way to stream movies, TV shows, and web series for free, they do so by aggregating pirated content, making them alternatives to mainstream paid streaming services.
You can get all your entertainment in one place, like Netflix.
Stremio with real debrid is awesome
Would that work on kodi/osmc? I only have a Vero 4k and a dumb chromecast, so can’t install Android apps.
If you use Kodi. The best add on to use with real debrid is Seren in my opinion.
Debrid is scummy, it hit and runs torrents without seeding. It makes torrenting worse for everybody. Only 1 debrid service I know of seeds, and it only does it for 72 hours.
This is yet another reason why public trackers are getting worse and worse.
Torrenting only works if people seed after downloading. Please consider getting a VPN with port forwarding (I use proton), and seed your torrents. (Depending on your country you probably don’t even need a VPN, but it’s wise to use one anyway).
If you want to direct download, consider a seedbox instead. There are probably good options for streaming directly from your seedbox too, but I haven’t investigated.
Do I need to pay for real debrid? I’m using torrentio and it’s sufficient. How’s realdebrid different?
You do pay for it but at €13 for 6 months it is totally worth it. Good and reliable solid streams to give you the most applike experience.
That sounds reasonable. How does it compare to having your own homeserver? I already have a small home server. Does it allow you to download movies to add to your own collection?
Yes, it is paid. I recently signed up for the 30 day play as a test drive and see if it made sense to me… And it really is game changing.
Torrent may be enough most of the time, but Stremio has a serious problem about speed, I don’t know why. I enabled the “ultra fast” settings in the menu, but I can’t get the same speed I’d get downloading the same torrent through any torrent client.
It made it impossible to watch 4gb movies, for example, I was basically stuck with lower quality 1-2gb ones.
Real debrid changed that. I watched a 17gb one the other day just fine.
If some movie isn’t available through RD, you can signal RD to download it and it will be available to you (and others) a bit later as well, but I haven’t really needed it so far.
Stremio + Pimp My Stremio for those who want an easy experience. One time setup, it streams torrents like Netflix and has a calendar of your upcoming shows.
All you do is install all of the community add-ons inside Stremio that are English, and install all of the relevant add-ons from Pimp My Stremio one time, and you can sync them to your phone or tablet or whatever with an account (if you choose)
What additional addon does Pimp My Streamio provide? I couldn’t find a list of their addons. Is it worth the hassle as I only use Streamio on Android.
Lol thank u
Where I need help is on the hardware side. I have a good smart tv and young kids. What do I use to run this setup that has a simple remote control for the ui?
Does anyone have any information or something similar for live sports streams? I used to use Acestream with great success around 5 years ago, but recently it seems everything has dried up on the sports side
I ended up paying for an IPTV provider. For premier league there are a few decent Acestreams for Sky Sports main event, but its not convenient
EDIT: this is the site I use to find acestream sources https://www.platinsport.com/
