Stremio kind of sucks. You're leeching a torrent you'll never seed.
PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 248d
I see where your coming from but not everyone has the space to seed a torrent. I think those that use stremio and understand torrenting will one day, if they have enough storage contribute to seeding. I'm running on 256gb here T-T
potustheplant@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 248d
Then don't use torrents. Leeching without seeding is literally how torrents die.
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 248d
Caching a torrent isn't leeching. Like the other person said, it actually helps because it prevents multiple people from doing a hit and run. The torrent only needs to get cached once, and then everyone can just directly download that file, bypassing the torrent entirely.
potustheplant@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 247d
Caching a torrent requires downloading, no? What guarantee do you have that they're seeding that leech?
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 247d
There is no guarantee, because they're not seeding. There's one hit-and-run, then the torrent is cached on a server for anyone to directly download. Again, IMO one hit-and-run is still better than thousands.
9bananas@feddit.org · 3 pts · 248d
not true, it does sort of the opposite:
debrid services cache torrents in order to provide them at high speed to clients (that's why they aren't free: they need data storage).
this is a good thing, because it means the swarm is only taxed once per file, instead of constantly by potentially hundreds of streamers.
from stremio's FAQs:
potustheplant@feddit.nl · 1 pts · 248d
So you're telling me that they're offering a paid service for free. That makes me trust and want to use it even less.
EDIT: Turns out that stremoo doesn't use debrid. That's something a stremio user can configure. By default, you do leech torrents and never seed then.
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 248d
Stremio is free, the service you need to cache the torrents (Real-Debrid) isn't. It's about $/€3 per month, which is still cheaper than a VPN (which you need for torrents but not for Stremio/Debrid).
potustheplant@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 247d
Wait, so if I get this right, stremio has nothing to do with debrid on its own. So if you just use Stremio, as is, you are leeching a torrent you don't seed?
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 247d
Correct. Without a Debrid service, you stream the torrent directly from the tracker. It's also slow AF for all but the most popular content so you really don't want to go without.
(In my experience most torrents are already cached on Debrid, BTW, so there's no hit and run since you're just downloading the file directly from a server.)

Nah fuck all that. Just get Stremio + Torrentio and pair it with Real-Debrid. No fucking around with downloading torrents and building a library. Just pick what you want to watch, and watch it. Works like any other streaming platform, except everything's in one place.
MBech@feddit.dk · 26 pts · 249d
Problem with that is, what happens when Stremio gets shut down like every other illegal streaming platform to date? What happens when they no longer want to host the stuff I like?
I like having the files locally, so that when streaming platforms die, og just decide not to waste server space on the stuff I like, I can still watch the shows and movies that are no longer avaliable anywhere.

I won't really fight anyone suggesting "Yarr-harr" approaches, but if you're just looking for something to watch and legality becomes a hurdle as you describe: Libraries offer a huge backlog of stuff (watched some old Disney stuff I'd targeted, without sending the mouse money) as well as some digital services. It should be pretty easy to rip the DVDs they have on offer too.
noxypaws@pawb.social · 4 pts · 249d
Stremio has nothing to do with it, it's just the frontend.
but you'd be right to make the same comment about real-debrid so ultimately your point is a good one
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 248d
Stremio isn't going away, just like Qbittorrent isn't going away.
It doesn't actually host any illegal content. Stremio alone is nothing more than a film and TV database. It's not illegal to make a database.
justaman123@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 249d
You can also download them and keep them if you prefer, just keep a VPN going
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 19 pts · 249d
The problem with Stremio is that it relies on torrents, but only caches the content you’re watching. Essentially, it puts you into a permanent leecher mode, and rarely contributes any meaningful seeding because the content is deleted shortly after you’re done watching it.
Stremio users are the libertarians of the piracy world. They’re staunchly independent, but also completely reliant on the infrastructure that seeders have set up and maintain. They want all of their content available conveniently, without actually putting in any of the “pay it forward” work that piracy relies on to stay healthy.
Essentially, if everyone used Stremio, nobody would be able to use Stremio. Stremio is only possible because of the people who actually seed.
Rooty@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 248d
Hear, hear. If you leech without seeding you are essentially killing the torrent.
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 248d
I'd argue that you're not really hurting the torrent, since most torrents are already pre-cached. It only needs to be cached once for thousands to enjoy the file.
Yeah it's not ideal, but one hit and run isn't going to make a dent in the grand scheme of things.

The Amazon Prime model is the scummiest. At least Netflix doesn't bait you into a subscription just to then tell you actually the show you wanted to see costs even more.
nogooduser@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 249d
To play devil’s advocate:
The Netflix equivalent of this is that the show just disappears (the Marvel shows) or you get the first seasons and not the last or even the last and not the first (at one time Prime had part of Lucifer and Netflix had the rest).
The only reason that it went from free to paid (instead of just disappearing) is that they lost the licence for streaming it under Prime Video but they didn’t lose the licence for selling it.
Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca · 33 pts · 249d
I doesn't really make a difference whether it was the actual platform or a higher decision; the end result is pissed off fans that turn to piracy instead of giving you money. Then those fans give you even less in the future. There will always be some that just say 'fuck it' and pay up, but it's diminishing returns.

Because music streaming services compete (for the most part) based on experience and features not content. This happened after the market plummeted for music sales. TV and movies are still in the stage where everyone is competing with content by having exclusives while their services suck dick with few features, horrible UX, and ads. Im sure at some point they'll go the route of music and games where youre not forced to sign up to a specific service to see a specific show, but who knows when that'll happen.

Ten years ago my position on piracy was broadly, "do it if you want, but don't act like you're justified or ethical".
Now I'm convinced piracy is more ethical than feeding these monsters.
I also don't consider it a change in my own values. It's a change in how fucking awful and in need of dismantling the Corporation has got.
TheSambassador@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 248d
Absolutely agree. When I got out of college, I was like "I have some money finally, I'll support the shows and movies I want to watch by actually buying them online outright and streaming everything else legally!"
And then several of the things I "bought" got removed from my library several years later.
Then instead of 2 or 3 streaming platforms, there were suddenly 6.
Then every streaming service kept shuffling around my favorite shows.
And suddenly, the experience of paying for the content I wanted to watch became way too cumbersome.

Cancel all subscriptions which are just "We own the copyright to music, tv, movies etc" and find your digital art through simple file sharing networks on the internet. FOR EXAMPLE:
Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid (If you don't want to pay for real debrid it still works just can be a bit slower) A torrent streaming solution for most/all tv shows and movies. Soulseek, a file sharing platform mostly for music. I have yet to find a decent lossless streaming solution.
If you want games, Ebooks, or other kinds of media, type fmhy.net into your browser and they have a tonne of different media types and links for you to choose from. If your just starting check out there "adblocking and blocking trackers" section its a decent start for making sure you don't get caught or anything.

The only thing you need to be careful of is falling out of touch with modern life because you're still watching 90s films in the 2050s. Part of my enjoyment of the niche entertainment I consumed in the 90s came from seeking out new people to enjoy it with, searching for it on the proto-internet, and forming communities around the experience of watching it. I find that nowadays I can watch the film again but it just doesn't bring the same kind of enjoyment that it did when I watched it 30 years ago. I hope I live long so I can see more new entertainment options come out and try those too, and my dvd collection gets lost and broken and water damaged from being left in the closet where it belongs.

I would never pay for prime video, they are shit. I pay for amazon prime because Its cheper than paid delivery and they give me prime video for free because that's the only way anyone would watch it.

Yea, they pulled this shit on me with the "Shogun" series. Two or three episodes in and BANG! rugpull.

I recently discovered it's super easy to run qbittorrent in a docker container with the network forced through gluetun which ensures a VPN connection without impacting the global network connection.

It's time to sail away from Amazon Prime

I paused a little before the end of S2E09, came back a few hours later to it, and all of S2 was not free anymore.

Jellyfin wont do that
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 249d
nor will Plex.
Scrollone@feddit.it · 4 pts · 249d
Plex is run by a commercial company who now has agreements with content providers. Don't trust them.
Jellyfin is the only reliable solution from now on.

Is it possible that season one is free and season two cost money? That's a common tactic.

Is this an old repost? I swear I saw this exact same post like 3-6 months ago.
Lucky_777@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 249d
Same thing happened to me but on PS+. Sea of Stars for one. It was free at one point, then I went back to play. "Not Available". Kinda bullshit

That happens all the time on prime video. it happened to me watching the old school unsolved mysteries. Good thing I have it on my OSMC Pi's 128gb drive.

You mean it when to "They don't want my money anymore since they removed it from the tier I was paying into, so they won't mind me getting it in other ways"

Kelsey Grammer was mayor of Chicago in Boss.
Ted Danson is mayor of LA here.
Comming soon ?
Woody Harrelson gets a series being mayor of Vegas?
John Ratzenberger as mayor of NYC?
frostysauce@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 248d
I would pay good money to see Cliff Clavin as mayor of NYC.

Telling someone that they are the problem is insulting, whether you like it or not.
I agree, continuing to feed the machine is not helping; but there are more constructive ways to express the same point. Help people learn and get comfortable with better solutions, don't scold them for following what they've grown up to know as 'right'. That's not how you get people on your side.

You sound like my dad who’s upset when the gas prices changed between driving into town and out of town. “What? 6ct in 10 minutes?”
It has to change sometime. You just happened to notice it.
