Hello guys, I'm curious about this meme, is there some literature where I can find someguides to test this? Thanks.
You wouldn't pay for 4k Netflix and then download a Chromebook recovery image in order to extract the aarch64 widevine com blobs and then patch in support for 16k pages and then apply miscellaneous glibc compat workarounds and then spoof your useragent, and install a browser extension to unlock HD resolutions, to legally watch media in only 1080p
Every single "service" out there is more difficult than Stremio. Exception might be non-english content
In concept. Every single time I've tried to use it I've had issues. The movies stop constantly, files become unreachable for some indiscernible reason preventing me from continuing from the same source, the app bugs out like crazy, some things aren't all that easy to find, the quality isn't always great or there's weird stuff like embedded subtitles or watermarks.
I genuinely thought it was just me but yeah this has always been the case for me. Neat concept but I think that living in the middle of nowhere with crappy internet makes it impossible to use for me.
So I just install the app, sign up, and I can start watching whatever?
you will need to install the torrentio addon and have a vpn. a debrid service isn't needed
You'll need to install the torrentio add-on.
You should use a VPN, but it will work without one.
You can use a debrid provider and remove the other stremio addons you don't use. I've never bothered, and to be honest I don't even really understand what debrid is.
Certainly sounds more difficult than Netflix.
Marginally maybe? Installing an add-on in torrentio doesn't take more than a second, but it isn't a process most people are already familiar with, like entering credit card details to open an account.
You'll likely also need to pay for a Debrid service. It's basically a download caching server, so if one user downloads a file, it's available to everyone.
With Stremio, that means that popular media will already have a zillion options pre-cached. If you want more niche stuff, then you can do the extra step to get your Debrid service to download it for you (assuming there's a public teacher that has it with seeders.)
It should also work for those download/file sharing sites, but I haven't bothered to figure it out yet.
Well that certainly sounds more difficult than any streaming service I've ever used.
This is where I wind up every time I ask.
Eh, it's different. I like that I can choose individual streams for different quality. I watch at 720p on my old TV with crappy WiFi, or 4K on my desktop. Anything mainstream enough to be on a streaming platform will already be loaded, it's just obscure stuff you might need to add yourself, which you'd never get on Netflix anyway.
We usually watch shows in Stremio even if they're on Netflix.
Okay, but I can pretty much guarantee my mom couldn't figure out how to set that up.
But she can get Disney+ going no problem.
Yeah, fair. The setup is a bit technical for sure. You can set it up to default to different settings, though, so it would probably work well if the defaults are set correctly.
Like, my crappy old laptop can only handle H264s, not H265, but you can select video codec as a default. At least, I'm pretty sure you can.
My kids can manage it, and they're only 6 & 8.
except Ukrainian for some reason. I've had a lot of issues with english, polish and russian content, but Cloudstream3 with cloudstreak-extensions-uk never ever stopped working and has all of the content i care for, with high quality dubs from either the source or local tv channels (both sound as good as the og English va)
