Stremio

Oh. Something I need to go figure out. Is it good?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Very good and much easier to setup than Kodi due to the add-ons being cloud based vs locally downloaded. I still recommend learning Kodi as a more reliable backup. The torrentio addon for Stremio goes down on occasion for a few hours which can happen at inconvenient times. Lately it's been pretty stable though.

Having both set up and synced with trakt is recommended.

Sorry for the reddit link but this is a great guide for Stremio. Beautiful thing is you can set it up on any device and all you have to do for any future device is sign in. All add-ons are cloud sources that save your settings to your account. https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/15agu2p/stremio_torrentio_debrid_a_howto_guide/

Add torrentio and don't look back.

Actually, you need to look back, Torrentio is not perfect because of the recent downtimes, improve Stremio with more add-ons with Debrid access and you are good.

With good seeding it works like a charm. Else you need some seedbox kind of thing..

Yes... Works great is what I heard. Planning to test it soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I "heard" it's really reliable and quick. Especially for more obscure content that may not have many active seeders.

Not to mention it can unrestrict those SLOW DOWNLOAD WAIT 90 SECONDS links.

It's stupidly good, I honestly couldn't believe it when I started using it. There was one time that it didn't scrape the right stream, though, so it might be good to use Kodi with a Debrid-compatible addon as well for those rare cases (Seren, for example).
