I was looking at the options suggested for desktop use and I often see Streamio being suggested, but seeing that it requires a sign up rubs me the wrong way.
On my Linux machine I use Waydroid to run Cloudstream since it’s so easy to set up and use, but on Windows the whole ordeal to get sideloaded Android apps running seems troubling, so I was wondering if there’s a better app that runs natively on desktop OSes that works similarly to Cloudstream, i.e. no signups, good multilingual extensions and easy to use UI

Wait, so what’s the account for?
It tracks your watch history and play positions, syncs across different devices, and can have a watchlist of both movies and TV shows.
Like, you can start an episode of something on your PC, then continue on your phone.
Also syncs all of your addons, including Torrentio and all of its settings.

I don’t worry too much about them collecting data. Not much data to collect, and I’m using fake info.
But yeah, you can totally use a guest account.
