Stremio + Torrentio + Real-Debrid is perfect for those folks who want a simple setup
There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:
- Cheap
- Quick & Easy Setup
- Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
- Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.
Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I'll have to manually search, but this is rare.

I have a pretty advanced setup. Big dual xeon server with 40TB of drives. Dockerized everything running radarr, medusa, deluge, jackett, vpn etc. I'm a pixel snob and love the 4k remuxes with lossless Dolby sound for my Atmos speaker setup.
BUT I read about stremio toreentio and RD a few times here in this community and thought I'd install it on my NVIDIA shield.
And we use it ALL THE TIME!
It's just so easy even for someone with my hugely automated setup.
It's perfect for anything you're probably only going to watch once.
The Sopranos, The Wire, Better call Saul... Yeah download it cause I rewatch it often.
Fboy Island or whatever guilty pleasure reality tv garbage... Stremio it is.
1917 or The Godfather. Download highest quality. Legally Blonde for movie night with my daughter .. stremio.
It's a great little app and setup.
Are you in the US? I'm curious if you use a VPN with streamio?
I'm in Australia and no VPN for stremio because I use real-debrid. As I understand it I'm just direct downloading from there. If I didn't have RD and had to torrent for stremio I'd use a VPN for sure.
Greetings from across the ditch, I never use vpn for torrents as it's not actively monitored here at the moment. Is that different over there?
Few years back around Dallas Buyers Club there was a big crackdown and ISPs brought in this 3 strikes rule. People got some letters and warnings.
So I'm not sure what it's like these days but why take a chance?
Yeah good point. As I just subbed to Easynews which comes with free PrivadoVPN, just configured qbittorrent to use Privado :) Super easy with Docker and https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun
Kia ora! I would also like to know this. Been sailing the torrential seas for decades now without a VPN. Although I do remember some years ago about a law change (something something National something something The Hobbit something something DMCA something something tax writes off's) where we got a letter from our ISP warning us about the law change and not to do anything naughty or we would receive a DMCA notice. Nothing has ever come of it since. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I think it doesn't have priority at the moment. It used to be a three strike thing anyway so if you get a first strike you can easily enable vpn then :)

Conners?

How is it setup to your tv? I love using it but currently it’s only when I’m at my desk watching. Want to figure out a setup for the living room
I run it on the NVIDIA shield which is an Android TV box. Just install the app from the Play store.
Hey I don’t like my Xiaomi Stick for TV because it’s so laggy. The thing is one the verge of crashing on every press of the remote.
Is a Nvidia Shield worth the price ?
EDIT some questions:
- is it snappy?
- can you install apps freely (without any stores)

It's not about the space. It's that it's just like Netflix. You browse and see something and play it directly. There's no planning needed... Even if that is as simple as a quick search on radarr. And no waiting for the torrent to finish even if it's usually less than 10 mins.
Instant gratification.

If you are on Android I recommend NZB360 as companion app. It's freaking awesome.
I guess you are not renting that setup from someone, right? (colo?) I am asking because I have been renting a dedicated server from Hetzner for a few years now (one AX line, other from auction - got a good disc space with it) and with the price hike it's getting a bit costly (and can't self-host).
No I built it. It's in my garage in a server rack. I lucky to have gigabit fibre internet.
I'm curious why someone who is able to afford 40TB of drive space is interested in piracy. Is it more about archiving and ownership than saving a buck?
They can afford all the hardware due to not wasting money on shit that can be free.
I'm subscribed to 4 different streaming services and it's still not everything. Also I'm not giving Rupert Murdoch a cent for all the damage he's done to Australia. And Foxtel is owned by him and the only way to get any HBO shows for instance. And even if you paid them they only do 1080p.
40TB of storage is around $800, or $33/m for 2 years, which is like two subscription services.
Also, you can share what you've downloaded with friends, further driving down the cost compared that what would be paid to the corps
I'm not the guy above, but I dont see how they're comparable really. One is god knows how many monthly subscriptions for the rest of time, or the up front cost of storage.
There's (almost) always the option to buy media on blueray or similar.
I'll speak for myself here – I watch on average a movie per day. Even if the Blu-Rays were $10, it would still cost me $3650/yr.
