I torrent to my laptop to watch films and shows (VPN with a killswitch). Want a dedicated setup so bought a Raspberry Pi 4b thinking of KODI setup. Is KODI the way to go, or is there a better way to stream or download movies via the Raspbery Pi4? What can you suggest for my home-made box to replace Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.? Looking for safe pointers and hopefully can search for the "how to" parts if needed.

Never used kodi so don’t know if this pipeline would work for you considering you might like the ability to stream from pirated sources on demand. But if you are ok with downloading your movies and shows to a local repository that you can then access from any device anywhere in the world. Then I suggest using prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, qbittorrent, overseerr, and plex media server respectively. It sounds like a lot of tools but each one plugs into the other so they all overlap and handle different parts of the whole pipeline.

If you wanted more general info about what each one does then let me know

Thanks! I will read aobut each tonight and hopefully understand, but might return to you if I am struggling. My initial use case had been for watching at home rather than remotely, but if a remote access set-up is an option, then why not.

A good place to read about all the apps that end in arr is their wiki called servarr

They provide setup instructions and descriptions as well as downloaders and scripts. They also each have a GitHub repository and webpage with screenshots and more flashy promo material so you can get a good idea of what they look like and how they work.

Essentially they all automatically go out and download any movies or shows you’ve told them to look out for, format the files and place them neatly in folders that your media manager like plex or jellyfin can then make available for you to watch on the client devices on phones, computers, smart tvs, chrome casts, Apple TVs, everything really
