There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

  • Cheap
  • Quick & Easy Setup
  • Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
  • Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I’ll have to manually search, but this is rare.

    I have a seed box and big Nas at home. I’m interested in just streaming anime and tv content I hate downloading them.

    Is this what I need? How privacy focused is it? Where does content come from?

    TLDR?

      TL;DR:

      * Stremio is a digital media player that allows you to stream high-quality videos and add subtitles.
* Torrentio is an unofficial add-on for Stremio that allows you to stream movies and TV shows from torrent sites.
* Real Debrid is a debrid service that allows you to connect directly to a server instead of having your IP shared in peer-to-peer and to speed up performance.

      Privacy is good. You are just streaming the links through HTTPS link that Real Debrid offer you. You can use without a VPN but if you want to be cautious you can use one on top of it.

        Sounds like a seed box? Im assuming it’s a paid service do they take untraceable payment methods?

          Similar to a seed box but not the same. Real-Debrid is just another Debrid service. You can use another other Debrid service that Torrentio supports. Real-Debrid just happens to be the cheapest and most used of the bunch.

      From what i understand, Stremio is just an interface, it doesnt work without plugins

      Torrentio is the main plugin you want. The one you use your real debrid account on.

      Real debrid is a service that torrents your movie for you, so you are not the one torrenting. Its potentially faster bc if its a movie that it has saved already, maybe because someone else downloaded it recently, you dont have to wait for the torrent to complete. RD also has the bonus of being able to download from multiple file hosters as a premium user.

      Anyways when you configure stremio and search for the movie, it will look for any torrent and then you can stream it directly, without downloading.
