    Ok… I like the interface of StremIO, which looks like a service aggregator (ie I can open the movie on a streaming service i have access to), but I don’t like the fact that I can’t pre-download and seed less popular files. It supports debrid services, but from the technical description, thesec seems to be leech-equivalent to seedboxes…

    What would be a good drop -in replacement? Something that works on google TVs and is easy to maintain?

      If you use a debrid service, you’re okay because the debrid service just downloads the file once and caches it for everyone, and you pay for the bandwidth to download from them. That isn’t excessive leeching, whether they seed or not.

      I’ve heard there are (more expensive) debris services that seed back, but I haven’t researched it. I’d already paid for Real Debrid when I read that and it hasn’t come up for renewal yet.

          Here’s what it’s showing me:
          $3.26 for 15 days.
          $4.35 for 30 days.
          $9.79 for 90 days.
          $17.40 for 180 days.

          I did the 90 days to try it out for $10.
          3 days of “playing around with it”.
          Day 4 it was linked to StremIO on my Chromecast.
          Day 5 it was linked to my NAS through rclone.
