Hi, if you want to set up a safe, fully-automated streaming service that you can connect to from any device, reach out to me. The only cost to you is the VPN and hard drives if you already have a computer.
You can have your own media server that automatically downloads all the new episodes of shows you want across all streaming services, and your friends and family can even request movies/shows they want to see from a web UI and those will also be automatically downloaded. All using free and open source software. Completely ad free.
Anyone here that also knows how to set this up should also offer to help others, as it is pretty much the only way to break free from streaming services.
Presumably this is radarr/sonarr, which I can definitely vouch for if it is. Absolutely awesome, but since I've been using stremio with real debrid I haven't found the need for them anymore.
I agree that Stremio is probably best for less tech-savvy users, but I prefer recommending open source over proprietary, free over paid subscriptions, and self-hosted over relying on some company to remain in service. I also prefer having local copies of my media so that I don't lose anything to no seeders on old media. Of course, there still is a cost component for me, I have to buy hard drives and maintain the server myself.
However, I just want people to move off of streaming services, so if you can help others with a streamio + real debrid setup, please do!
