This allows Stremio to stream any torrent using the RealDebrid service, which already has cached copies of the most popular downloads so you can watch it instantly from their servers. It also has a great library feature to save followed shows, and progress is saved and synced to your Stremio account.
The only caveat here is that RealDebrid is a paid service, but I only pay around $3 a month and it has literally everything that is on any of the streaming services.
This setup is now my primary means of watching tv and movies, and I say that as someone who has a couple of media servers filled with content and hosted with Plex - this Stremio setup is just too good.

This is a barrier, you would not believe all the people see me weird because I pay to watch pirated stuff lol, even if the amount is so insignificant it raises some eyebrows (here we don’t even pay for VPNs because they are not needed, for surfing the seas at least).
So yeah, Cloudstream remains as a fair cheaper (free lol) alternative for Stremio in the Android environment at least.
Indeed CS worked for me better when the Kronch (Crunchyroll streams) addon worked, (last time I checked it was not working, I hope that is not the case) because newer stuff can take some time to make it to the public trackers (which is where Torrentio gathers its stuff).
Yeah, I already have a QNAP 8-bay NAS with the *Arr stack pulling tv shows and movies and automatically serving them up in my Plex instance “for free” (because operating costs).
Stremio is just super convenient, and that’s what I’m paying for, the convenience. I can just turn it on and start watching random garbage tv and don’t have to worry about it taking up space on my server, because it’s content that I will probably never watch again.
Stremio + torrentio + RealDebrid

…and for that reason I’m out
I was easily paying over $60 a month for various streaming services, now I pay $3.
You could be paying $0 is the thing
