If you don't wanna faff about on a PC to obtain movies/TV shows, Stremio (+Torrentio addon and a Real-Debrid subcription) is probably the smoothest piracy experience you could get on a tablet.
If you're fine with doing it manually, you could just install Libretorrent to download stuff and VLC to play the files.
I will look into this, thanks!
Stremio + RD. Nothing comes close
Mihon for comic books
Sweet, I will check them out
You could run jellyfin on your desktop and use that to stream shows to your tablet. Or VLC works for connecting to network file shares and you could play from that.
I do both. Jellyfin is way better if you put in the work of having a good folder structure and file names for metadata to scrape.
VLC is good for weird file types or non-video media. If you want to have a stash of reaction gifs in a playlist, I don't know if JellyFin has any way to do that. Or if you want the tablet to display a random slideshow of pictures, like a diy digital picture frame. Also it's easier to use if you don't have good file names and metadata scraping.
TV/Movies/Anime: CloudStream and/or Streamflix
Manga/Comics: see Tachiyomi alternatives
Thank you, also will check these out!
is there any up to date list of cloudstream sources? I thought it was dead but apparently not.
I'd say continue using your PC for the acquisition part of media and grab an app on your tablet that can connect via SMB or NFS (there's quite a few on f-droid if you're going full de-google). Then you can move over and files and not have to create a tech stack on the tablet.
Thanks. That was my plan B, just wanted to see if there are more convenient ways of doing it.
Not exactly a piracy tool, but syncthing is quite useful to keep pc and other devices in parity if you don't plan to leave one on all the time.
You didn't mention gaming, but if you plan to use your tablet for emulators, you can sync save files with it if the emulators are compatible cross pc and android like ppsspp.
Thank you. Not planning to game. I have that covered by my pc and game consoles :)
For movies and streaming i would go for cloudstream For comics idk much sources but ik about mihon (aka Tachiyomi after DMCA) it has a lot of mangas and all...
I'd put Tivimate and a Chinese M3u
MuPDF is good for books and comics, KOReader is better but it takes time to learn it. I would get a big SD card, download movies/books/stuff on pc and just transfer them using SMB/(S)FTP/USB.
i use Plex to stream the torrents to my kitchen tablet
