    Again, I don’t HAVE a folder of media. I don’t WANT a folder of media! That’s the entire reason why I switched to Nuvio! I got tired of having to rip discs and download torrents to build said “folder of media”. I just want to stream.

    Honestly I don’t understand why you guys insist on fighting me about this. Clearly y’all don’t understand what Nuvio does. I implore you to look up how it works before you reply again. Please, for my mental health!

        Yes, it’s option 3. Why are you so “horrified” by this? Does the concept of people watching YouTube/Freetube/Piped horrify you too?

        Look, this isn’t music we’re talking about; when it comes to movies and TV, I see no point in building a personal library, just how I see no point in downloading YouTube videos. I have my favorites that I’ll re-watch once in a blue moon, yes, but generally once I’m done with a movie/episode, I’m done with it for good. Therefore I see no point in having a movie/TV collection wasting valuable hard drive space.

        Before I discovered Stremio/Nuvio, my workflow was like this:
        Boot up PC > fire UP VPN and open Firefox > Navigate to 1337X > search for something to watch (assuming that I already know what I want to watch) > click magnet link and wait for seeds > transfer file to Jellyfin library > boot up TV > open Jellyfin and watch > delete file

        After switching, my workflow is now this:
        Boot up TV > Open Nuvio > Browse for movie/show > Watch

        I hope I explained it well enough by now. Do you understand the difference now? One of these options requires way more work than the other. Nuvio works exactly like Netflix. It even recommends you content based on your viewing history. No personal library required.

            That’s fair, can’t really argue with the sharing is caring argument. But to be even more fair, I don’t feel like cached torrents (which is what Nuvio uses) harm anything, either, since all it takes is one person to grab the file, and then everyone using the same seedbox/debrid service can download/stream it directly at their internet’s maximum download speed.

            And to be even more more fair, you can always pair Usenet with Nuvio instead, completely taking seeding out of the picture.

            (BTW sorry for coming in hot earlier, I tend to get irritated easily for no one’s fault but my own. My dopamine receptors don’t function very well…)
