I am exploring some foss apps which provide me the latest updated content of streaming services like amazon prime, jio hotstar, sony liv, netflix etc

Because I am tired to pay premium or explore it on telegram group because they are very shady and uts search bar is disgusting

now.

I always see streamio with real debrid mentioned. I use Plex & Jellyfin cuz I host my own content. Takes a lot of storage, but I don't mind.

    I can +1 for Stremio+Debrid (RealDebrid is just one provider for those that haven't dove in)

    I would argue this is one case where FOSS shouldn't be priority #1, unless you really want to spend the time, effort, and (most importantly in 2026) money to maintain a NAS, in which case the *arr stack + Usenet and Jellyfin are great. But you really can't understate how much of a rabbit hole dealing with the entire thing can be. For the most part, Stremio just works and well enough I can send a guide to normie friends and they could follow along and get it running in like half an hour.

    I do a hybrid approach, I own blurays of anything sentimental or low bitrate destroys (think Redline, XFiles (so much low/dim light low bitrate makes it look like a pixelated mess)), have a large collection of older media on my Unraid NAS (typically the Achilles heel of the Stremio/Debrid setup is anything that isn't at least semi popular), and stream the rest w/Stremio. Works out to like $60/yr for Debrid/Usenet. I did just lose an 18tb drive in my NAS which really made me think hard if it was worth continuing with, but for now decided to keep it.

    Dude yeah having a drive failure wreaks havoc. I had that happen a couple months ago (large drive failure) thankfully I had enough older smaller drives to temp replace it. I'm a bit over 200TB now, so Inconvenient for sure!

    Yepp, normally would be a bummer but it is still under warranty. That said I had no idea how long that process is going to take (Seagate has the drive atm), so I wanted to swap it with a new one then just add whatever Seagate sends back on top of my pool (only around 70tb! Need a better NAS chassis...) but 18tb Exos have shot up $100 since I bought one last year. Found a different random brand (shout out diskprices.com!) for the same as old price, slapped that in, parity(cus Unraid) rebuilt.

    Just waiting on the warranty drive, then I get to rebuild parity again.

    If I didn't find that cheaper 18tb may have been enough to tip me towards decommissioning it.
