Same except instead of Jellyfin I have Nuvio because I rather have a one-click streaming solution, rather than having to manually build a library from my existing media.

    It does the same no, stream your library anywhere. Thats what Jellyfin does, Netflixify your personal library

    From what I understand, no it doesn't. You still need a personal library for it to work. With Nuvio, you don't need anything at all. Just pick a show/movie you want to watch, and watch it.

    With Jellyfin, you have to take the time to rip your discs (or pirate them), then add them to your Jellyfin library. There is no such issue with Nuvio. It's basically Netflix + Prime + Disney + HBO + Peacock + Crunchyroll + everything else combined into a single app. No "personal library" required.

    So, it's just popcorntime with a new name?

    Pretty much, yeah, except it can utilize Debrid services, Usenet, I2P, etc. as well, not just bittorrent. The base app itself can't actually pirate anything on its own; you use plug-ins to facilitate that ability. (Without any plug-ins, the only thing it can do is list movies/shows and where to purchase them from, which is how its able to be listed in app stores.)

    And yes, when paired with Debrid, it basically works llke PopcornTime. One person downloads the torrent, then it's stored on a server where anyone using the same service can stream it instantly without having to wait for seeds. It's really simple and convenient, much easier than downloading the torrents yourself then sticking them onto Jellyfin. Just open the app, pick something to watch, and watch it.

    Again, I don't HAVE a folder of media. I don't WANT a folder of media! That's the entire reason why I switched to Nuvio! I got tired of having to rip discs and download torrents to build said "folder of media". I just want to stream.

    Honestly I don't understand why you guys insist on fighting me about this. Clearly y'all don't understand what Nuvio does. I implore you to look up how it works before you reply again. Please, for my mental health!

    Yes, it's option 3. Why are you so "horrified" by this? Does the concept of people watching YouTube/Freetube/Piped horrify you too?

    Look, this isn't music we're talking about; when it comes to movies and TV, I see no point in building a personal library, just how I see no point in downloading YouTube videos. I have my favorites that I'll re-watch once in a blue moon, yes, but generally once I'm done with a movie/episode, I'm done with it for good. Therefore I see no point in having a movie/TV collection wasting valuable hard drive space.

    Before I discovered Stremio/Nuvio, my workflow was like this:
    Boot up PC > fire UP VPN and open Firefox > Navigate to 1337X > search for something to watch (assuming that I already know what I want to watch) > click magnet link and wait for seeds > transfer file to Jellyfin library > boot up TV > open Jellyfin and watch > delete file

    After switching, my workflow is now this:
    Boot up TV > Open Nuvio > Browse for movie/show > Watch

    I hope I explained it well enough by now. Do you understand the difference now? One of these options requires way more work than the other. Nuvio works exactly like Netflix. It even recommends you content based on your viewing history. No personal library required.

    That's fair, can't really argue with the sharing is caring argument. But to be even more fair, I don't feel like cached torrents (which is what Nuvio uses) harm anything, either, since all it takes is one person to grab the file, and then everyone using the same seedbox/debrid service can download/stream it directly at their internet's maximum download speed.

    And to be even more more fair, you can always pair Usenet with Nuvio instead, completely taking seeding out of the picture.

    (BTW sorry for coming in hot earlier, I tend to get irritated easily for no one's fault but my own. My dopamine receptors don't function very well...)

    First time I hear that name, how does it differ from stremio, which it seems to parallel heavily?

    General improvements upon stremio in various aspects. Stremio's Android TV app just constantly crashes or fails to get sources for me, so I switched.

    This one has stuff like separate profiles w/pin passwords, (imo) nicer and faster UI, and has integrations like aniskip.

    It also can directly use stremio's addons and there are ways to import your watch history, addons and libraries, so it is super easy to migrate
