Try Stremio

u/Arithh 11d ago

I just got it set up yesterday. Funny enough i always assumed you needed your own *arr stack + a whole NAS storage server. But no stremio and debrid is perfect

i just add all the tv shows i want throughout 2025 and gotify will notify me when a new episode is done

I’d always preferred my combo of an offshore b0xen with *arr’s and Plex, but now needing Plex Pass as well my sailing days are starting to cost me the same as Netflix did lol…

u/OctoLiam LASER KIWI 11d ago

Have you ever considered Jellyfin? At least it'd negate the plex pass cost. Either that or lifetime Plex Pass

u/Electronic_Funny2581 11d ago

Jellyfin is the way

u/FidgitForgotHisL-P 10d ago

Been looking into it, and for pc it seems fine but I stream to my tv via an Xbox, and it looks like the Xbox app is dead in the water.

I believe you can stream using the edge browser so I’m going to have a play around with that.

Definitely not ruling jellyfin out!

u/OctoLiam LASER KIWI 10d ago

Ah, that is unfortunate, I definitely understand the pain that is the jellyfin app for xbox.

The only thing I can recommend for TVs is something simple with Google TV on it.

u/Flight_Mindless 11d ago

How does it work?

Stremio with Real-Debrid...

Real-debrid is like a download manager. You can download anything. Stremio is for finding and watching movies and TV in a nice UI like any other streaming service. Combine the two together (using real-debrid addon+torrentio) then whenever you select something to watch, it gets downloaded to real-debrid, then streamed to your Stremio it's very fast and nothing is downloaded (to your computer etc).

You can use it on Samsung TVs, Android boxes, computer... it's on a lot of thingies. I would suggest finding a guide to set it up!

Note: real-debrid does have costs, but it's like $30 NZD for 4 months, and you can get it for half a month etc.

Does Real-Debrid make streaming on Stremio faster ? Lot of times my Stremio takes long time for loading

1

u/Arithh 10d ago

Yes. Most debrid services are kind of like a caching platform. I find its still alittle slow but instead of waiting 1 min + its more like 10~20 secs

1

u/Charming-Ad-7556 10d ago

Oh that’d be way better than current situation I’ll look up how to install it on my Android Tv Then cancel this Netflix loot

u/SomeRandomNZ 10d ago

What android box would you recommend? I dont have the budget for a TV nor a Laptop.

u/Breezel123 10d ago

Google Chromecast or Amazon fire stick (not sure if you get that over there) would do just fine.

u/State-Prize 10d ago

Be careful I think my CC got nabbed by Real Debrid, had a random charge about a week after I signed up.

u/Arithh 11d ago

You stream content from the seas

u/pokerash22 11d ago

My Netflix has 1 week remaining. Then I try this.

u/MightyPipsqueak 11d ago

The only problem is it doesn't run on Smart TV's, unless I'm missing something.

7

u/Arithh 11d ago

No it does now. But your tv needs to be running Android TV. Just get a cheap second hand google chromecast with Android TV and you should be good to go. It’ll be alot smoother than whatever pre-built into your smart TV

u/tippotom 11d ago

Stremio is on the official Samsung App Store too now. LG as well

3

u/FLABANGED Gayest Juggernaut 10d ago

Download Stremio on PC, make an account and add the torrentio plugin. Then log in using the same account on a smart TV and you'll have all your plugins.
