Found this on reddit and decided to share. Here's the text from the author:

Hey pirates, I made this fully open source movie/tv shows app.

It's available for Android, Windows and Linux.

Main goal of the app is to reduce the headaches of watching and searching for movies. I always hated checking if a movie is out for downloading, then check each torrent site to download it or check each streaming site to watch it. So I made this app to make this process more enjoyable.

The app is currently on version 1 with minimum features to get started.

Features right now:

  • New released torrent files for movies and tv shows.
  • Ability to search for a movie and watch it from different providers or look it up on different torrent sites.
  • Default movie app features like watchlist, favorites and ratings.

Plans for future:

  • Adding a torrent downloader and qbittorrent remote inside the app. i Adding a recommendation system based on requested details

I accept feature requests either here or on GitHub issues.

See screenshots for desktop version on GitHub.

Is this any better than radarr+overseerr?

Doesn't sound like it would be

GitHub huh?

Place your bets on when the takedown request occurs.

I mean all the usual arrs and overseerr and jellyseerr and such are already on github, so it's... probably fine?

How is this different from popcorn time and stremio?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tried it. So it's basically a search engine for piracy sites? Like it opens a browser window of a piracy site of your choosing and you play it in the browser. I think torrentio + stremio is better experience, but for free, this ain't too bad.

This is also free though?

Interesting, will check it out after work

Assuming GitHub doesn't say Hi

Wow, this is perfect for the masses (that I don't want to admin/tech support for)!

People love installing apps. And even installing one for them is ez.

May the high seas of democratic culture be kind to you!

Anyone try this on Android TV-like box? Perhaps I will. Though will be kind of hard to usurp the Stremio/Debrid/Torrentio/Orion setup. Might be a nice Plan B for when Debrid lays an egg.

So it's basically Popcorn Time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time )? Nice!

Before anything, will this get a bunch of not technically knowledgeable people flagged by the *AA corps?
