I’ve always felt like the whole docker/jellyfin/plex/loads-of-other-apps stuff is way too overboard just to do a bit of pirating, so I usually just hop on one of the movie/show or anime streaming sites with uBlock Origin installed and watch that way.
Currently I’m looking at what I can setup in the living room, and was thinking of just using an old PC with a wireless keyboard. I would like to use a media center type interface, but I’ve never actually used Kodi before. Would I be able to just use Kodi to stream from those kinds of services?
Searches so far show that everyone apparently uses Kodi with something called Real Debrid, which I have zero interest in.


I’ve done this before, it works decently well. However, the streaming resources get muddied up quite fast. One I set up maybe a year or two ago is filled with broken links. And quality is very inconsistent.
So is it possible? Absolutely. Is it something I’d recommend if you want something consistent and a dependable way to watch? Not really.
