After movie-web got taken down including all their github repositories, a fork called sudo-flix emerged.
Their links are:
- Github: https://github.com/sussy-code/smov
- Docs: https://docs.sudo-flix.lol/
- Instance: https://sudo-flix.lol
- List of instances: https://erynith.github.io/movie-web-instances/ & https://github.com/sussy-code/smov?tab=readme-ov-file#links-and-resources
From what I can tell, it’s a perfectly working fork. So go ahead and star, fork and host instances and code on other platforms!
what’s the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn’t find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?
It’s basically just a website that searches different providers for a file and then plays said file. It is safe to use without a VPN (though still better to use with a VPN for general safety measure) as its the same as watching youtube or whatever… Hope that helps :)
