stremio + debrid had been nice for most things. after a bunch of random stremio plugin outages i built my own little app that just talks to apibay and the debrid back end and links it up to vlc a few months ago and have just used that.

Having some knowledge about 'how the sausage is made', the smoothness of a stremio + debrid setup feels pretty close to magic.

Which debrid service do you use?

  • alldebrid. their 4.0/4.1 api has all the stuff to decode magnets and browse their files. filter mkv,mp4,etc. i made a little database of imdb tt values to assist autosuggest for searching and a nsfw filter for the few friends and family using the app.

    have thought about extending it to realdebrid/torbox/etc but it's just been kinda set and forget. every once in a while will add a feature... most recently i think was seeing if there was a matching srt file and feeding that along with the video file to vlc so you get subtitle support if it's not baked into the video file

paying to pirate is absurd with these debris services

personally I'd rather recommend stremio + torrentio, though I prefer offline watching for zero buffering issues and no wait
