Ahoy, fellow pirates. I’m having 2 issues:
1. “No streams found” on Stremio when SurfShark is turned on.
Call me crazy, but this basically defeats the purpose of SurfShark. They work when I turn it off. Even turning off “CleanWeb” on SurfShark doesn’t do it.
Any ideas why?
2. TorBox doesn’t let me pay.
This is a weird one. It seems TorBox isn’t very privacy-friendly. I did the one-day trial, and then wanted to pay. But they prevented me from paying altogether. Their support doesn’t say why, but they want me to disable my browser extensions, turn off my VPN, etc. Makes no sense to me, but I’m tired of trying. And I’m sure if I create a new account with them, the same thing will happen.
Who should I use instead of TorBox?
My priority is getting set up on Stremio and/or Nuvio.tv, but I was also hoping that my debrid service would integrate nicely with CinemaHQ.
I was looking at put.io, but on CHQ there are only the following services:
- Premiumize
- TorBox
- AllDebrid (I heard this is having issues recently?)
- EasyNews
- Trakt


Not to put down Stremio, but it does end up being a lot of work sometimes when you could just pick from one of the dozens of websites and stream it from your laptop.
I know this is not a very slick setup, but then you only have to worry about the VPN.
I’ve thought about that too, but my concern is how to control the laptop from afar? Also I would like to set this up for my family so it needs to be user friendly and not technical at all. Or the least amount possible.
I tired all of this. All I’ll say is the solution ended up being Jellyfin. Expecting people to set up VPNs and understand links is not going to work with a family
With Jellyfin doesn’t everything need to be downloaded somewhere and then added to it?
I agree about the family stuff. I was hoping to just configure everything for them, which is why I was hoping Stremio or Nuvio would work. Because then the configuration carries over to the other devices once I sign into my account.
