Is there a desktop app with similar UX to Cloudstream? (endlesstalk.org)

I was looking at the options suggested for desktop use and I often see Streamio being suggested, but seeing that it requires a sign up rubs me the wrong way.
On my Linux machine I use Waydroid to run Cloudstream since it's so easy to set up and use, but on Windows the whole ordeal to get sideloaded Android apps running seems troubling, so I was wondering if there's a better app that runs natively on desktop OSes that works similarly to Cloudstream, i.e. no signups, good multilingual extensions and easy to use UI

That sounds pretty convenient, although I'm a bit worried about the privacy side, it would seem that making a guest account is a good enough compromise at least

if you login as a Guest User, no personal data is collected whatsoever.

I don't worry too much about them collecting data. Not much data to collect, and I'm using fake info.

But yeah, you can totally use a guest account.
