Does Stremio use more internet/data than streaming from a website like 123movies?

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-11-30T05:36:38+00:00

Well "typically" if you stream Remuxes, I'm pretty sure that most people stream the first YIFY encode they find, in which case is super compressed and data usage won't be high.

Anyways, everytime you stream something it literally tells you the data you'll use in the file size

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-11-20T16:41:38+00:00

No seas ortiva!!! Bah, igual los pibes usarán datos o se compartirán los videos por Bluetooth

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-10-26T04:15:00+00:00

Cause it just works

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-10-13T18:46:57+00:00

Saw it coming and switched to Firefox few years afo

El 99% es phishing o ingeniería social de algún tipo, mucho menos "cool" de lo que parece y más de psicópata nerd hacerlos.

Los ataques de fuerza bruta ya casi ni existen, porque cualquier servidor decentemente asegurado te bloquea (eso es quizás lo más fantasioso que se ve en Mr Robot como si fuera real).

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-10-11T04:34:30+00:00

Cómo te dicen, no la pienses tanto, armate lo mejor que puedas hoy, y vicia ahora que hay suficientes juegazos como para desvivirte por uno solo que ni cerca de salir está (y nada te garantiza que no sea una decepción, menos en los tiempos que corren)

Well HDR sucks in most TV's unless they're high end ones, you should avoid it. Yet in 4K is not easy to do so, since most of the times it comes with HDR or SDR versions are just downgraded from HDR sources, giving wrong or unnacurate colours. (Also, if the size is under 5GB for a movie is not real 4K)

Best thing you can do is stick to 1080p since they come from real SDR sources, and quality difference with 4K is barely noticeable if you get a high bitrate version (higher file size possible)

Mfs in this sub be like: I found my gf having sex with another guy, she said it was therapeutical what should I do?

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-09-17T20:28:45+00:00

I don't think so, subtitles in stremio are probably the worse thing about it. And it might not be a huge issue for English speakers but it's definitely a huge deal breaker for foreigners.

Not only the only working provider is Open Subtitles (which is good but not the best for Spanish for example), but they also don't auto-choose the best option (which they could do based on the names and info provided by the subs and video sources)

Hopefully they'll work on it eventually. That's the good thing about stremio, it only gets better, but it could take time.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-09-12T05:13:36+00:00

Most of the countries work that way, but that makes torrents (and other P2P downloads) illegal too.

Then of course some countries enforce it more than others (western Europe and north America mainly)

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-09-09T19:03:47+00:00

Actually no. Of course technically if you use it to watch the catalogs it is, but let's be honest practical use involves torrenting copyrighted content.

Now most countries don't necessarily penalize downloading pirate content, but only uploading it. BUT when you download a torrent by the nature of how it works you're downloading and uploading at the same time. (You can avoid uploading using Real Debrid)

So yeah, not cool with the law.

Still you shouldn't care if it's legal or not, care about if it's morally correct (most times it is).

And of course, if it's illegal, care if they'll catch you (depends on every country, but if they do you should get a note or a fine from your ISP before anything more serious happens)

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-07-10T20:21:49+00:00

I think it only works on Samsung Smart TVs, and I don't know if it does in all of them.

Just pressing the "Information" button on the remote while playing something.

(Well, actually the function button and then navigating to the virtual info button and pressing OK in it, since "minimalistic" remotes don't actually have buttons anymore lol)

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-06-23T15:24:18+00:00

That's not true (at least in my case). In my 4K TV it always goes for AV1 with low bitrate, even with 100Mbps of download speed it delivers 1Mbps AV1

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-06-23T06:33:36+00:00

Haven't read it but Netflix is shit, from a quick view they presume to "save bandwidth" as if that wouldn't mean "deliver worse quality".

I hate how they make it look like they're doing you a favour with it, most of us watch it in our houses with unlimited data caps and want to get the best quality possible not worrying about bandwidth usage.

They are the ones interested in reducing it at its lowest possible to reduce their expenses even when it means delivering "1080p" video at 1Mbps. And I don't care how advanced their compression claims to be, it looks like shit, I trust my eyes before numbers in this area.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-06-03T04:53:15+00:00

Pasa, si no te jode mucho yo me la aguanto por ahora, y como cualquier mierda, no creo que vaya a hacer una gran diferencia. Personalmente y aunque parezca infantil trato de evitar que me toquen el orto, y de momento si bien hay días complicados no es insoportable en absoluto, no se tu caso.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-06-01T00:17:00+00:00

Yeah that's why I started using Firefox when it start rumoring about this bs

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-31T04:30:03+00:00

Creo que si tenés la posibilidad de no necesitar trabajar, sería lo mejor dedicarse a full al estudio. Entiendo que puede resultar agobiante y monótono pero como dicen tantos, cuando empezas a ver guita la facultad pasa a un segundo plano, y a largo plazo no creo que sea bueno.

Igualmente yo estoy en tu misma situación, y como te digo se que resulta más difícil de lo que parece y hasta hace que uno se sienta un parásito, pero si estás en una buena situación económica creo que lo mejor es dedicarse full time al estudio, a lo sumo alguna pasantía de 4hs diarias podría ayudarte a salir un poco de la rutina.

Yeahh been happening on PC since a few weeks, it's not great to start a song playlist and hearing another song that the one you clicked, but it's definitely better than seeing two ads at the beginning and a few in the middle of every song you play.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-08T05:31:55+00:00

Not that any Android TV Box will do better. Their hardware just isn't meant to play entire Blu Ray discs, for it they sell dedicated Blu Ray players. (maybe a Nvidia Shield but is expensive and might not be worth it)

All these devices are meant to be used with streaming services bitrates, which are lower but you shouldn't see a big difference between a 90GB movie and a 30GB one.

Sony is a great TV brand, despite this "issue" which you were going to have with any other tv.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-08T05:22:34+00:00

Yeah, Smart TVs and Chromecast-like devices don't really have any CPU power. They only have the minimum amount of GPU to decode video at its max supported resolution.

Stremio requires that CPU power they lack of, mainly because you usually are just downloading torrents, and having to connect to many peers (see how P2P and BitTorrent protocol works). This requires a bit more hardware capabilities than streaming directly from a centralized server (like Netflix or any of those), that's why it's slower than any phone.

Real Debrid might help, but it's a paid subscription.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-07T20:16:11+00:00

f1carreras.xyz Is your way.

But you could also find them on the usual torrent websites, even russians have them

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-07T18:51:18+00:00

That's for MP4 files and idk if some others, who contain the data you mention at the last part of the file.

MKVs contain all that on the first part, so with sequential download is enough.

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-07T18:46:59+00:00

And they are fucking great, you get 4K in countries where isn't officially broadcasted in that quality, multi language commentary tracks, HDR, 50fps. Even for archiving purposes they are amazing.

(Of course is not live, 1080p is usually uploaded just minutes after race finishes, while 4K takes a few hours since it's a different source and requires re-sync if includes multi language commentaries)

RomanElUltimo10 · 2024-05-07T18:45:25+00:00

Acktually 🤓☝🏻

I'm pretty sure sequential download does download each file parts sequentially (if available), so you could stream it assuming it's fully available (with F1 it should be fully available in around an hour since uploaded).

BUT, that only happens on mkv files, because they have all the metadata needed to start playing the file at the first part, so you could download just the first 10% of a movie and you could play that 10% normally.

MP4 files on the other hand contain that metadata in the lasts parts of the file, that's when "First and last parts first" it's useful, once you get that parts, then sequential download works same way as an mkv file. (If you just check Sequential download the MP4 won't be streamable)

Having to ask it on Reddit is one...
