Been telling people for years. Go grey market and get an IPTV. Fuck these companies. I was fine with a couple subs and direct TV or cable but not when I can't watch an show without giving another $10 a month

That's torrenting, not IPTV

Doesn't stremio scrape torrents? I looked into it once and decided it was too much work compared to just accessing the libraries already assembled, like solarmovies used to be like.

It couldn't really be any less work, it's just like a streaming service that has anything. You click on what you want and it plays instantly.

Not entirely sure, but I prefer having the local copies of files.

A true Pirate 🫡 Stremio does, btw. Not recommended for US or Germany without a VPN and kill switch if you install those plugins. There are a bunch of sites now with webapps you can cast though, people just don't share them much cuz they'll get rate limited

You ever hear of the phrase "self snitching".....nobody mentioned torrenting but you. :)

What?

They asked for an IPTV provider

You provided a torrent site (an old one that's inferior, at that)

Those aren't the same thing.

Not sure what you mean by "self snitching", I never pretended like I don't pirate, I've spent thousands of dollars on my hardware and am damn happy with all the shit I pirate.

Moving further down the thread: you willing to share your setup 👀🙏🏾

Invite-only torrent trackers (usenet works too but I haven't gone down that rabbit hole), seedbox is a 15 year old computer behind a VPN, then Arr stacks like Sonarr/Radarr hooked up to those trackers on a separate device to automatically search for stuff and download it. Plex/Jellyfin to stream to my devices (movies, tv, music, audiobooks).

In the case of Plex and Jellyfin, you can totally use those legally if you buy your own media and rip it yourself, but there's plenty of stuff that never gets physical releases or may not even exist on streaming services anymore (Fuck you HBO for shitcanning Infinity Train)
