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.
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.
