I’m a pretty seasoned albeit a little rusty pirate who recently returned to pirating because I’m unwilling to keep indulging in the greed of Netflix. The problem is my partner isn’t and she’s really struggling with Kodi’s interface. And also many shows she enjoys watching are difficult to find on Kodi even though I’ve subscribed to Real Debrid. We’ve also looked at other streaming services but they’re all pretty limited thanks to all everything being exclusive these days.

Torrenting is out of question for her and setting up a Plex server is too much work for me.

I actually don’t mind paying, but the question is, what should I pay for? What has a decent UI and streams as well as major streaming services but comes with a lot more options?

    Stremio (with Torrentio + Real Debrid) makes for pretty nice user interface. I actually went that route instead of Kodi specifically so it’s easier for my husband to use.

      I agree with the above. Others have suggested Jellyfish which IS great software but it would require user acquisition and curation of content, something definitely simplified with the likes of Stremio.

      Just did what you suggested and jeez… Stremio’s UI is way better than Kodi. Addons are so much easier to install too. Torrentia+RD definitely appears to have all bases covered too. Thank you so much for that.
