With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.
So I am wondering if it’s possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?
Kodi is what your looking for. A debrid + kodi is basically netflix with shows from around the world, in high quality, on demand.
But, it is not available on TVs as a seperate app. Companies do not like piracy, so many applications that are related to it do not make the appstores. A cheap and easy way to get Kodi would be to simply buy a Intel NUC, or a similar mini-pc.
Any android TV compatible streamer can get Kodi from the play store.
It’s also on F-Droid if your TV doesn’t have the Google Play Services - I run LineageOS on my TV box!
Or this. Forgot about android TVs. Used to have an nVidia shield, are those still around?
Idk but I remember they were overkill for just kodi. A xiaomi 4k streamer should be enough, or Respberry pi
They are, but they’re high. Better off getting a Amazon fire stick
I had nothing but problems with firesticks, just underpowered and bloated. Got a Roku and have had much better luck. I hear you can run Kodi on it just fine I haven’t done it myself though.

And with this setup you don’t need a VPN? I just checked what debrid is and it still downloads illegal files but it isn’t a torrent or something similar, right?
No. Since you aren’t seeding the files, or are in the swarm, you are fine without a VPN. This is especially popular in Germany where you get fines of upwards of 500€
While a vpn is never a bad thing, no you don’t need a vpn if you are watching debrid sources. Your ISP will see you connect to your debrid but it won’t see the vídeos you’re watching or anything like that. All Debrid (At least Real Debrid, the service many use) sources are encrypted and wont be picked up.
Android TV may or may not have Kodi on the Play Store depending on your location. I’ve got it on my ‘smart’ TV, no sideloading required.
Of course the TV itself is a POS and stutters during playback so I never use it. YMMV on that front as well.
I have Kodi on my Android TV. How do I add this debrid thing to it now?

Thank you! Can you recommend any Debrid service?
real-debrid and alldebrid are usually the most talked about services. I would recommend you test both for a month and continue your subscription with the one you enjoy more.
