This. Stremio is exactly what you're looking for OP. Works just like Netflix, runs on your TV. Every show/movie from every streaming platform is there.
Just make sure to install the Torrentio and Streaming Catalogs plugins to get the free content to show up. I also recommend a Real-Debrid subscription cause it it allows you to stream instantly without delay. (In fact, you can download any torrent you want instantly with Debrid.)
Is this possible without torrents? Like getting content from a streaming website rather than torrents?
Stremio uses torrents, but they're direct downloads. Everything is stored on a separate server. It's similar to a seed box, except no waiting cause the files were already downloaded beforehand by what's called a "Debrid service".
You can also use Debrid to directly download any torrent you want, not just movies and TV. I have a gigabit connection so it's way faster than any torrent client could ever dream to achieve.
Stremio with an addon like Google Drive or Real Debrid (torrentio).
You can set up Couchmoney through trakt to get similar recommendations algorithms.
Stremio has a UI which works amazingly on TV, and should be familiar to Netflix.
"Discovering the best budget-friendly streaming services has been a game-changer for me. If you're looking for cheap streaming options, my go-to page has a curated list of affordable platforms. Say goodbye to expensive subscriptions and hello to quality entertainment without breaking the bank! Check it out!"
Everyone always recommends the torrent solutions, plex and the arrs, but unless it's something I'm really excited about or want in extra high quality, I find it's easier to just use the browser streaming sites. In Firefox with ublock there's no ads, it has subtitles for multiple languages loaded automatically usually, and a nice ui that shows most popular show/movies, and has a good catalogue. There's lots to choose from, I think the guide has a list, but the ones I use are:
Bflix.gg Hdtoday.cc Fmovies.to
Quick, simple and painless.
My set-up doesn't include a smart tv ... I specifically stayed away from buying one because of the monitoring they can do on my usage.
So mine is a good LCD > HDMI'd to my laptop > running a good VPN > links to multiple streaming sources that offer everything from live sports to new movies/TV shows.
Been running this way for over 20 yrs now and it works for me.
Yeah, problem is if you want a modern TV, you don't have a choice. You either get a smart TV or suffer
I bought second-hand and got a wicked deal (cause they thought the audio was gone, but for me it a quick fix). :)
