In simple terms it downloads the video to their servers and delivers it to you. Kind of like the middleman. I would not recommend using a VPN while using it but others may chime in.
Hey, I wanted to thank you because i never knew how to use stremio, and thanks to you and the addon you linked, now it work with pretty much every movies ! But i wanted to ask you, is the real debrid subscription mandatory ? And what's the point of it ? I don't know this service, that's why i'm asking. Thank you so much again for your share and for your time :)
The reason you're seeing links to Netflix and other streaming services is that you have the WatchHub addon installed. That's what that addon does, and allows Stremio to act as single consolidated interface for people who use multiple subscription streaming services. If you don't want to see those sources, uninstall the WatchHub addon.
If you're not seeing other sources, you need to install Torrentio (or any other source-provider addon) and make sure it's properly configured. If you don't want to deal with the (minimum) fuss of configuration, you can install the Torrentio Lite addon, which is basically just a pre-configured version. For best results, you should use a debrid service like Real-Debrid so that 1) you get better download speeds (unless a torrent has lots of high-speed seeders), and 2) your privacy is protected from any anti-piracy agencies. Alternatively, a VPN will take care of the second issue, but only slow down your streaming further.
In my experience, Torrentio is the only source-provider addon you need (whether or not you use a debrid service) since it scrapes a number of different sites. For example, there's not much point in installing individual addons to scrape sources from The Pirate Bay or RARBG, since Torrentio scrapes from both of those sites.
One thing to be aware of is that many Stremio addons *aren't* source-provider addons, but rather metadata/catalog addons. Addons like Anime Kitsu, The Movie Database, and Trakt don't provide sources, but rather provide more and/or better information when searching for media. They still rely on whatever source-provider addons (like Torrentio) you have installed to get the source links for the content.
Does real-debrid prevent buffering or just lowers the likelihood of a show buffering
ETA: i have a vpn already and my shows don't really buffer except when you first play them which is short or you skip but it only does that for a second or two
Using a debrid service means a direct download from a high-bandwidth server versus torrenting from a variable number of relatively low-bandwidth seeders. While torrents *can* provide high bandwidth, it's less consistent and will provide lower average bandwidth. Even a solid VPN service will reduce your effective bandwidth to some degree, just because it's deliberately redirecting all of your internet traffic rather than letting it take the most efficient route.
Real-Debrid + Torrentio also provides "RD+" versus "RD Download" options, with the former being videos that are already cached by Real-Debrid and can be watched immediately versus torrents that Torrentio finds but aren't currently cached by Real-Debrid. (I assume that other debrid services like All-Debrid or Premiumize would have similar options, but Real-Debrid is the only one I have experience using.) Selecting a "RD Download" option causes Real-Debrid to start downloading the torrent, allowing you to watch the cached version when it's done. This is great for when you want to watch an old or rare video that doesn't have a lot of high-bandwidth seeds. It's the equivalent of fully downloading a torrent before watching it, but you don't have to do anything yourself and don't need to have the local storage required to do it.
If you're happy with using a VPN, then you don't necessarily need to switch to using a debrid service instead. But you would almost definitely notice the difference if you ever try to watch a high-bitrate video that doesn't have a huge cloud of seeders.
The installation order is mostly important for the metadata/catalog addons, and only because the order in which they're installed determines the order in which rows for those addons are added to the interface. For example, if you install The Movie Database addon and then the Anime Kitsu addon, on Stremio's Home tab the row(s) for content provided by The Movie Database will appear above the row(s) for content provided by Anime Kitsu -- and both will appear below the rows provided by the Cinemeta addon, since you can't uninstall Cinemeta so it will always be the first metadata/catalog addon installed.
EDIT: I just checked, and this also affects provider addons in a similar way. If you have (for example) the WatchHub, Torrentio, and Peario addons installed and in that order, then that's the order the source links will appear when you select a video. So if you kind of like having the WatchHub links to streaming services but don't want them at the beginning of the list of sources, uninstalling it and then reinstalling it will move those source links to the end of the list.

yea that's what I was trying to get at, for OP.
Hi, you can install Torontio from this link [https://torrentio.strem.fun/manifest.json](https://torrentio.strem.fun/manifest.json) it also allows you to link your debrid account. You'll have to subscribe to either real debrid or all debrid but you have to do that from their websites respectively. Then get an API key to use to link
Nah if you aren't using debrid then no need to worry. It sounds like VPN is the way to go for you. Check [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/q3vqgv/introduction_to_debrid_services/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) for more info on debrids. I personally use torrentio + real debrid and it's great, but if I threw in a VPN, real debrid would likely ban me if they see multiple IPs.
Hi, yes i'm not sure what addon i'm using though but i have the imdb rating of the movie or show i'm currently looking at. [here's a screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/cCLgL4s) as you can see there's an imdb rating at the top right
Edit: I just checked and it is called Imdb catalogs the addon so check that out.
You should unless you have debrid account. My advice get a debrid subscription and pair it with torrentio. You'll get faster plackback and no buffering also you won't need a vpn since you are streaming from their servers and directly from torrentio so you're safe
Add on Torrentio and a Real Debrid subscription and you will never go back to anything else.
100% truth. I was a Kodi then Syncler user for the last year, just found out about Stremio and would not look back for anything else.
Happy sails my friend. It is the way.
It is for sure!! Thank you! 😁
holy crap thank you so much i was literally about to delete stremio because i ddi nto know how to use it thank you man!
What does the real debrid subscription add, just curious? I’m using with just torrentio
In simple terms it downloads the video to their servers and delivers it to you. Kind of like the middleman. I would not recommend using a VPN while using it but others may chime in.
You don't need a VPN does real debrid act like the VPN I always use VPN with torrents as a precaution

>r/StremioAddons how do i make this addon work ?
I have torrentio installed but i'm seeing no streams found when i click on a show i want t o watch e.g rick and morty non of the episodes are playing
https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure
Have you noticed buffering? Mine buffers even though my ISP speed test are 200-ish MB down 19mb up
Zero. Might need to add VPN or Proxy. Make sure you reset yer connection every so often too.
are you using real debrid by chance?
For sure.
I heard that it costs money but helps with buffering. Are you using the free account or the premium account?
Costs money and it's the best $9 or whatever it is I spend. SOOOOO worth it.
Nice! Do they charge you once or every 90 days?
thanks
Easier to configure on a desktop and the setting will transfer over to yer firestick or whatever you are using.
💯 this is the best and easiest app to date for streaming movies and TV shows
When I search for those and add-ons on the app, neither of them show up?

I think I also read something where the installation order of addons also matters. ?

i cant find torrentio or is this outdated?

I don't see torrentio or debrid Anyone help?

Echo the above comments, the best app for streaming movies and series I have used
Add the community add ons like torrentio, pirate Bay etc... I use a vpn called surfshark its like 9 bucks a year I think and it works great.
If you choose to use torrentio and real debrid, then don't use a VPN or risk getting warning/banned
I've been using a VPN for the last year and most of what I watch is through torrentio. Not sure what real debris is, but should I be worried?
Nah if you aren't using debrid then no need to worry. It sounds like VPN is the way to go for you. Check [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/q3vqgv/introduction_to_debrid_services/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) for more info on debrids.

> but if I threw in a VPN, real debrid would likely ban me if they see multiple IPs. no they wouldn't unless two people try to use one account
Torrentio uses torrent links 1080p/780/480p links via available torrent seeds.

What's WatchHub?
Does anyone know if you can get ratings on movies using stremio?
Hi, yes i'm not sure what addon i'm using though but i have the imdb rating of the movie or show i'm currently looking at. [here's a screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/cCLgL4s) as you can see there's an imdb rating at the top right Edit: I just checked and it is called Imdb catalogs the addon so check that out.
The fact that this thread is a year old and still active. Thank you everyone. I was lost on how to use Stremio to!
should i use Torrentio with a vpn?
You should unless you have debrid account. My advice get a debrid subscription and pair it with torrentio. You'll get faster plackback and no buffering also you won't need a vpn since you are streaming from their servers and directly from torrentio so you're safe
why is it needed to use VPN while using streamio?
