For the past year or so, I have been fairly happy with the RD, Torrentio, and Stremio setup. I’ve enjoyed being able to have a mostly seamless streaming experience; just search, click, and watch with little load or wait. In the past, I’ve experimented with the -arr’s and qTorrent setup on a local machine, but I switched to RD for the convenience of being able to spontaneously watch a show or movie (like on a date night).
With the possible (maybe likely) end of RD, I have wanted to look back again at having a personal setup, but I want to see if anyone has recommendations for a setup that is as close as possible to the current one. I know, of course, that a local setup will not have the same benefit as a massive service as RD with a huge cache of torrents ready to go, but is there a way to get close? Round off some of the sharp edges and pain points?
RD still works and there are multiple other debrids out there if you prefer stremio.
If you are fine just deleting stuff after watching instead of hoarding you can save in storage and management costs if you go the self hosted route. Also its a lot cheaper to host if your willing to watch at say 1080p then 4k.
About to stop working and stop existing
People have been saying this for 5 days now lol
RD already having to ban a bunch of idiots who got refunds, went to torbox which actually doesn’t work, and now are trying to come back.
I don’t even notice a real difference between 1080p and 4k. I bever watch 4k. For some shows, like stupid sitcoms, I still accept 720p, because it’s less than 1gb.
You probably need a better tv if you don’t notice it.
