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
Jellyfin is a different approach. My family loves to rewatch stuff and doesn’t necessarily need the newest content. So once something they like is on there, they are very content to have streaming like access to it whenever they like.
This does require setup, investing in storage and upkeep from you, so not for everyone. Well worth it if you have a family with watching habits like mine though.
I am very lucky to have a family that was patient while I figured all this out and tried different things over the years. Stremio sounds good on paper, but there was always some compromise with the quality or the ease. Especially if it was older content that is not necessarily mainstream.
Not saying this is the best answer for you, cause it could not to be. Just that I was looking for the same solution for my family and it took me to Jellyfin which they use all day every day now. They love it more than I could have imagined they would have and they never bother me to get a streaming service.
