Hello everynyan,

So this is less so a pirating question and more a setup question. Hope that’s okay?

I’m recently getting back into pirating with streaming going down the shitter. I can catch up on best practices w stuff like the mega thread but I basically want to setup a media device for my parents to stream stuff I pirate.

Any of you have recommendations? Only real catch is I don’t want them to have to do much besides turn something on and off. My mom has gotten a lot more computer literate these last years but fiddling w stuff will definitely put her off.

Things I’ve considered:

  • Plex server, not really thrilled about streaming stuff straight from my house
  • SBC w/ whatever media app is easiest these days and just delivering a new drive w stuff now and then

Thanks, -shitass

    Stremio with torrentio and real Debrid. Easiest setup ever and once I set it up for my parents I never needed to touch it again.

    Edit: for myself and wifey we use plex and plex_Debrid to load content and it works awesome. Setup was a bit harder and it’s not perfect but it’s my favorite setup

      💯 Stremio + rd + torentio setup is a set and forget solution. The easiest one to navigate and play a movie for any of less tech savvy people.

      What’s wrong with people suggesting plex lmao

      This is what I use for myself as well. I feel if you have fast enough internet, it’s great since you don’t have to worry about storage and it’s just streaming on demand with no buffer.
