I basically use Kodi for IPTV and for smart devices that allow it, Stremio I couldn't like because sources kept getting shutdown; movies and series I rather watch on a website or download them from DDL or a Torrent, because most sources show or prioritize english content and I seem to be the only one who understands english at home.
Funny enough, I installed Alfa for Kodi thinking it would be easier for my family to search for movies or series, but they just couldn't get used to it, they found easier to browse websites with that content, I also thought of using Stremio when I got an old laptop but I doubt it will go better, still worth a shot.
What sources are you seeing shutting down with Stremio?
Honesty you only need Torrentio along with an account of Real Debrid and you are set.
No idea, every IPTV source that I tried kept getting shutdown but this was before covid so right now I can't remember.
Don't you have to pay to use Real Debrid?
Either way I don't like having to create accounts because I know I'll drop those programs/services the moment I find something better.
Yes RD is a paid service, but a very good one and cheap, it is honestly the only reliable way to watch quality stuff on streaming 🏴☠️
X to doubt. If I want quality I go for torrents on my own or look for DDL (or rip it myself if I can), if I want to watch something just for watching there are multiple websites with decent quality if not good quality.
I was in a worse way than you, I neglected all kind of 🏴☠️ streaming, full Plex with Softwarr setup, my NAS got filled and started to look up for cheap alternatives, ended up with a RD account, it certainly feels reassuring not to have to download EVERYTHING, now I only get what I want/like more.
Not for nothing RD (which is content comes from Torrents) is so used along with Kodi (argubly the best video player), because you get a lot of content from there... Torrents will always be better than embed videos.
I'm lucky that I barely and rarely care about downloading something, I have a jellyfin server but it's not even half full, I mostly watch IPTV to entertain myself, when something picks my interest I watch it on stream and only then I decided if I download it and keep it or not, most of the time I don't.
Basically the same reason I can't justify paying for other services, I'd watch less than half their content.
