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.

Additional resources that do the same thing:
Super simple web based: https://movie-web.app
Less simple, but good for finding something to watch: https://goku.sx
Not simple at all, but can torrent and stream: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop (scroll down for installation)
thank you.
Holy shit that’s awesome - bookmarked. Thanks!
No problem :) Trust me, if you look around more on the wiki, you WILL find something that you’d like.
I don’t recommend the linked strategy
I suggest looking into the *arr stack and jellyfin
Then if you’re on android use nzb360 and you got yourself the holy grail of netflix alternatives
I’ve got the *rr setup, and it works great. My main concern is that you need to download/add shows/movies first before you can watch them. Plus, it requires a bunch of storage if you want to maintain a large collection. We watch movies/shows infrequently so it’s not worth for my to have many TBs of data. An on-demand interface would suit us better I think.
I’ve been trying to do this, but struggling with figuring out how to get it all set up. I haven’t even managed to get the docker container set up.
Stremio with real debrid is awesome
Debrid is scummy, it hit and runs torrents without seeding. It makes torrenting worse for everybody. Only 1 debrid service I know of seeds, and it only does it for 72 hours.
This is yet another reason why public trackers are getting worse and worse.
Torrenting only works if people seed after downloading. Please consider getting a VPN with port forwarding (I use proton), and seed your torrents. (Depending on your country you probably don’t even need a VPN, but it’s wise to use one anyway).
If you want to direct download, consider a seedbox instead. There are probably good options for streaming directly from your seedbox too, but I haven’t investigated.
It’s 100% possible, plex and jellyfin are available on swizzin. Most aren’t good enough to do transcoding, though, so keep that in mind if you don’t have a good internet.
That’s what I use, but this post is about free alternatives.
100%. Or Syncler, if you prefer. I love both apps.
Do I need to pay for real debrid? I’m using torrentio and it’s sufficient. How’s realdebrid different?
Yes it costs money but not much. You get better speeds and don’t need a vpn for debrid serivces
You do pay for it but at €13 for 6 months it is totally worth it. Good and reliable solid streams to give you the most applike experience.
That sounds reasonable. How does it compare to having your own homeserver? I already have a small home server. Does it allow you to download movies to add to your own collection?
I switched to it from hosting my own server. In my experience, Stream quality/lag is way better with Debrid services.
It’s also much faster to go from “I want to watch this show” to actually watching the show with Debrid than it was with my Plex/Jellyfin server, even with all the *rrs setup.
Thanks. What’s rrs setup?
sonarr prowlarr etc. those softwares
Ah got it, thanks!
Would that work on kodi/osmc? I only have a Vero 4k and a dumb chromecast, so can’t install Android apps.
If you use Kodi. The best add on to use with real debrid is Seren in my opinion.
Thanks that looks cool!
I have got it working now with Stremio and Yatse. In Stremio I select External Player, then Play on Media from Yatse and it shows on the Kodi.
Where I need help is on the hardware side. I have a good smart tv and young kids. What do I use to run this setup that has a simple remote control for the ui?
If you have android tv, you can use Stremio
put.io is another option. You provide links, it downloads and streams it for you. I haven’t been using this for a long long while but it was really really good. With deduplication fibrils it has, most of the content would be already downloaded for you.
Do I need to have a vpn to watch this?
Not mandatory, although for safety measures.
I’ve got a Vero 4K which is osmc based, would it work on this as well? Right now I’m downloading everything with sonarr etc.
