I torrent to my laptop to watch films and shows (VPN with a killswitch). Want a dedicated setup so bought a Raspberry Pi 4b thinking of KODI setup. Is KODI the way to go, or is there a better way to stream or download movies via the Raspbery Pi4? What can you suggest for my home-made box to replace Disney, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.? Looking for safe pointers and hopefully can search for the “how to” parts if needed.
If you just want to stream, get an Android box / Google TV with Stremio + Realdebrid. No storage needed, no *arr, no torrents, no VPN, just easy as.
Imo don’t get a raspberry pi 4. It can’t play everything from my nas. I ended up with a used mini office pc. It works so much better and I can use it as a regular PC with no hickups.
I was using libreelect on the pi streaming from my nas.
There’s also stremio and the torrentio plugin. If you don’t care about not having access when you’re offline.
