I'm a simple man I use Stremio.

Stremio combined with RealDebrid is untouchable. Almost every show and movie you could ever think of, ready to go.

I discovered real-debrid yesterday, thanks to this post.

I was playing around with it last night using kodi. I'm gonna try out stremio thanks to your suggestion.

That said - it didn't seem that reliable with kodi. Like I got through a whole movie but it just died once or twice. I ended up switching to another torrent / link and it played through to the end just fine.

I imagine this won't necessarily improve with the switch to stremio. Was I just unlucky? Or is this the usual experience?

edit: yeah ok you're right. kodi + real-debrid. great stuff.

I'd strongly advise not using debrid. With debrid you're leeching off torrents without ever seeding anything back. It's an abusive system. Not to mention it's usually not files of any level of quality.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That doesn't make any sense. The whole point of the debrid service is that it caches the torrent. When my client wants to stream the content, the debrid doesn't leech it from seeders it just pulls it from the cache.

The quality seems fine, for everything I've looked at thus far there's all the usual types of releases.

[–] mithrandir@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure you're pulling from the debrid service but debrid still hit and runs the torrent. Aside from one or two providers that seed for a day or something.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Only if it's not already cached.

[–] mithrandir@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The cache doesn't come from thin air. At one point or another they HnR'ed the torrent.

[–] DogMuffins@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

No shit. They HnR one time and provide to many thousands of downloaders, a not insignificant portion of whom would otherwise have been HnRs.
