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.

Check out

That article mentions “Torrentio” as an add on for Stremio. I don’t see that. There are 2 other “torrent” named add ons.

You know if those are safe? They work?

You have to google torrentio. It’s not in the list in stremio obviously

Ok. Ty. I guess I misread. Thought it said both those add ons were from the side menu.

Yes. But, it says to install “Torrentio”. I don’t see that add on in the list.

Iirc it doesn’t show up in the app itself. You need to click on the link to torrentio’s site and install from there. It’s easiest if you have an android phone and do it in your phone. Stremio settings are universal, so you can set it up on your phone and then install stremio on a streaming device and it will keep the same setup.

I’m pretty sure are better instructions around if you Google it.

I just started using torrentio with real debrid. It works really well. I’m new to this since my computer broke and it will take time to build another one. So I was kinda stuck without Plex.

I will say that I love it but I still pay for real debrid. It can replace the last of my streaming but if anyone knows a better way to use torrentio, I would be happy to hear it.

The king and his men stole the queen from her bed

And bound her in her bones

The seas be ours and by the powers

Where we will, we’ll roam

Yo-ho, all together

Hoist the colors high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

I’ve seen the vlc addon that can play torrents but doesn’t that kill them? You’re not seeding anything by just streaming and leaving when the movie is over. Idk, seems like a shitty thing to do

@sneezy Yeah this is entirely reliant on the idea that you’re only streaming from torrents that have enough seeders that you won’t kill the network.

Classic tragedy of the commons, and definitely a shitty thing to do.

Stremio with real debrid is great, like Kodi but without the hefty UI. I ended up going to jellyfin with the arr stack on a 14tb external and loving it so far. Will eventually go to an actual NAS but a nice way to get your feet wet

This is the method I’ve been using for a while now but since I joined Lemmy and got exposed to more technical things I’ve heard a lot about jellyfish/Plex combined with other stuff like Dockers and nextcloud (I think), to craft their own self hosted stuff. I wanna try that out.

I’m just barely getting into IT myself so this got my interest, is there any guide or site that explains how to get started on this? I’m also looking to learn more about trackers since I just know the basics of torrent.

Plex is great. Started mine during the pandemic and I keep having to buy new hard drives.
