That's how much I spent on the old laptop too haha

So to my understanding, the Stremio + RD (Real-Debrid) + Torrentio is working in such a way that, Torrentio is the aggregator, then Real-Debrid will work as direct download for the torrent, and finally Stremio will play the content from the link. So technically speaking you don't need to deal with downloading stuff.

Thank youuu :D

I'll definitely try it out

True. Guess I'll have to give it a shot to get a feel for myself. What do you use Trakt for that you feel so dependent on it?

Thanks for elaborating! Not at all, my bad for not explaining! So what is happening is that I'm using Mullvad, and there is a limit on number of connections I can have. I'm already using them all so I can't just connect my TV to it as well. However my homeserver (a.k.a. my old laptop) is using one of the connections so I thought maybe it would be a good idea to make the TV traffic go through that too.

I gotta mention I'm new to all this so if I'm talking outta my butt feel free to laugh at my comment and correct me :D

Yeah you're right. Although I'm not against learning new stuff, and hearing how stremio is more streamlined to interact with, I thought it would be a good choice but I wanna hear different opinions from the community so thanks for your comment :)

Thanks for your comment. Yeah I hear the UX on stremio is so much better that's why I was leaning more towards doing that. I spent hours to make Kodi UX smoother but at the end of the day it's a slug for the average user.

Do you know how I should route the TV traffic (Stremio) through the VPN on my old laptop tho? Or should I just give up on that part

I mean.. you're not wrong

 

Ahoy!

I recently got a new TV and I need some advice on how to best take advantage of my setup.

My current setup: I have an old laptop as my homeserver. I have Pihole on it. I also have setup a VPN with Gluetun that other docker containers are using. To watch movies I have a Kodi + Real Debrid setup on my actual laptop and I would use that with an HDMI cable to watch movies on my old TV.

What has changed now is that I have an Android TV, and to be perfectly honest it was a bit of a hassle to use the laptop to watch stuff especially TV shows because between each episode I would have to get up and use the laptop to play the next episode, and I have to set up my laptop each time because it's my main device and I need to take it with me everywhere. I have the Kore app on my phone but that wouldn't work if my VPN is running on either my phone or laptop, which usually is the case.

From what I read, the simples solution would be setting up stremio on the TV with RD and ditch the VPN. However I would prefer if there was a way to route the traffic through VPN. Do you guys know any better solutions?

Thanks in advance for your help. P.S. Cat pic for your troubles
