I’m stoked on my Jellyfin setup, but I’ll check on Stremio again in case I want to recommend it to anyone. Never heard of Nuvio, but at a glance it seems like you have to connect it to a media library.

Psythik@lemmy.world 3 hours agoIDK why everyone here is in love with Jellyfin when we have Stremio/Nuvio. Jellyfin is a lot of work; with Nuvio all you do is browse like Netflix, and stream. No existing media library requires.

Nuvio is the same as Stremio except better, because it has more quality of life features (like a “Who’s watching” feature). I only mentioned Stremio because it’s more well-known than Nuvio, but both work the same way. If anyone remembers Popcorn Time, it’s more like that.

Yeah I loved popcorn time. I’m looking into Stremio, and I’m already down a rabbit-hole of add-ons, debrid providers, and reading between the lines. Doesn’t seem like anything I can recommend to nontechnical folks.

Well like I said, please look into Nuvio instead. I’m about to ditch Stremio and switch
jpaskaruk@growers.social 3 hours ago @Psythik Never heard of it, what's the license?
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
What license? It’s piracy. Basically every streaming service combined into one.

Because streaming has shit bitrates.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
That’s not how this works. If you don’t want a shit bitrate, don’t pick a file with a shit bitrate to stream. I go for the REMUX every time. I have no issues streaming a 70GB file over my gigabit 5G home internet connection. If you have slow internet, then I can understand why you’d prefer Jellyfin.

Because a lot of us watch things that cant be found easily, or home movies, or prefer to have it readily available at any time.
There are many reasons. Dont assume your use case is the only one.
