long story short, fuck company; still want shows. I remember popcorn time being good at one point, is it still good?

    I recommend Stremio with the Torrentio addon instead.

    If you’re willing to shill out a few dollars a month, you can also add a debrid service for a better-than-netflix experience.

      +1 for stremio, better than anything else out there…has ample live television as well.

      If you’re floss, there’s madari - it’s new and a bit rough around the edges, but it’ll catch up quickly.

        with what addons

        I swear every search result about stremio is just gonna turn into “oh it has this” with zero advice on what addon to use.

          Stremio comes with a few addons for content navigation by default, but to actually watch most things within Stremio itself, the unofficial Torrentio addon is needed. There’s other content addons too, but Torrentio seems to work the best.

          Torrentio itself needs a debrid service API key to function, with Real-Debrid being the cheapest at about $3 a month.

        Woah cool, thanks for the heads up on Madari! I’ve been hoping for something like this for ages.

        Careful with Stremio and Torrentio. I forget the details but one of them isn’t working with real-debrid anymore. Just do some research before getting a subscription with real debrid.

          It works with real-debrid, there’s just fear that real-debrid’s content will be reduced by the outcome of the latest lawsuit. I’ve switched to TorBox because of that (and the lower price), but I honestly haven’t noticed any degradation of the real-debrid service yet.
