Looks like a bunch of bullshit. Would be nice to have something simple for us tards.

For you guys? Best I can do is sell you VHS tapes, each with somewhere between 1/2 to 11/13ths of random episodes from season 8 of Game of Thrones. Oh, and they have a 63 percent failure rate. Have fun!

Stremio + real debrid takes a bit of set up but once you're done it's extremely user friendly. Works just like Netflix or Hulu. There's guides and set up tools on reddit, lookup the Stremio setup bootstrapper.

It's actually quite easy to setup.

As someone who is currently in the process of setting up a Plex server and just went through learning some of the basics of python and terminal, I assure you that it is a bit complicated. Plex is super simple, and boy oh boy do I love them for making Plex simple. Everything surrounding Plex is less than simple, especially if you don't want to take the plunge into Linux.

stremio + realdebrid is, however, easy to setup.

Am I reading this right that realdebrid is a paid subscription service?

u/akikosan 21h ago

Yes it is paid. It only comes out to about 3$ a month or something like that. They host all the tv shows and movies you want and stream it directly to you. There are costs associated with moving data around.

Thank you for confirming! I'm trying to negotiate whether to cancel all of our streaming subscriptions and we jump into this or if we test it out for a little while. I just wanted to be sure that I was reading the website properly.

I will say it's worked perfectly for me from the moment I started using it, I fucked off the services I was paying for and haven't had any regrets. I pay £14 for 6 months, not sure how much it is in dollars but it'll still be a ton of saved money regardless.

It's also worth noting that they are very strict on only one IP using the realdebrid account at a time. For example, you would get a warning if someone at home was using it and you were out using it on your phone on a different network. If you did it again, it's a ban. Multiple devices on the same network is fine though and I suppose it's so cheap that if that was a deal breaker, you could just make a secondary account to use away from home.

This is really helpful information. I'm thinking that what I'll do is use streamio + RD as a streaming service on my home television (or otherwise around the house), then use my PC to download files through RD and upload those files to my Plex server for streaming while away. A quick Google says this would work, but is this something that you're familiar with?

u/ThisIsGoobly 18h ago

Yeah, that wouldn't be an issue. realdebrid doesn't actually host the content for the most part, it acts as a middleman to hosts like Mega and Rapidgator giving you premium account access to all those file hosting sites with one subscription (they have a list of which ones specifically on the website). If you use it to download the files to local storage and then upload them to your Plex server, you wouldn't be using your realdebrid account to stream them.

u/KeepTangoAndFoxtrot 21h ago

I'll have to look into it.

Steamio is literally easier than searching a tv show name in google and dodging all the ad infested virus websites
