fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added “FBI” up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.
I don’t understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.
I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.
First time seeing debrid. Looks interesting. Is it a paid service? When looking for an API key I’m seeing multiple places I can get one but they all require a login/subscription. The real debrid link is giving me a 403, though I am connecting from China over a VPN which may explain it.
Yes, it’s a paid service. It’s about 3 or 4 euro per month. I tried it once because I was annoyed by the lack of seeders and buffering in stremio and I’ve never looked back since. It requires a bit of setup, but when that’s done you’re good to go.
You shouldn’t need a VPN to access sudo lol instances since the connection is encrypted. Your ISP has no way of telling what you’re watching so long as your browser always accesses https vs http.
That said, I’ve heard wonderful things about Mullivad.
Without a VPN, your ISP will have some level of meta data. It may be as little as you did a DNS lookup of a pirate site and downloaded 2.14GB of data from that site.
Is that illegal? Depends on what country/state you are in.
I am confused. Sudoflix is down since a week or two already. How is it still working for you? They had a successor that they named on their page, maybe you mean that one.
I’ve had this open in a tab for several weeks now. Just refreshed, checked new episodes of stuff that’s come out in the last few days, no issues. I wasn’t even aware there were mirrors/clones.

The risk equation makes sense. The potential gain from outlasting your competition and absorbing their subscriber bases to become a near-monopoly is higher than participating in a royalty scheme, and the downside is borne by shareholders and to a lesser extent creditors (the Other People’s Money principle).
sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something…
Yes its sudo-flix, a piracy app hosted on github. It probably wil indeedl be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise you if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something? I agree.
Losing fmovies wasn’t the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It’s the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can’t handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.
I would pay legit services. But to see it all i would need multiple services with multiple apps, half of which wouldn’t run on my rooted devices. So fuck them.
Sadly no. Not that i know.
But once it’s setup it basically runs forever without tinkering. Impressive for open-source.
Could name the software and/or services that are helpful.
The first paragraph hits so hard. “That show is with this service now, but only the last season. If you want to each watch all of them you’ll have to get three subscriptions”
Fuck off…
What’ll be the min spec for the setup? Can it be run from a pi 4, for example?
As you’re obviously no american, you also know that even if you’d pay netflix (for the FULL price i might add) you only get a fraction of what they got and not a penny discount for it.
Sorry, but no. If you want my money, OFFER ME SOMETHING. Or discount me. That is just robbery.
So, you at least need a server for the whole work. A pi could do it, although you might not expect stellar performance off of it, but it would get the job done I assume. Except maybe live transcoding if that’s necessary (like watching 4k uhd content on a 720p phone or so).
So min-spec would be the combined min-spec for all services. As they probably also run on linux (i use win-20xx-server) it really should do.
You’d need:
The **nars you’d want (radarr=movies, sonarr=series, bazarr=subs, lidarr=music etc. and there’s even one for porn lol)
a downloader, either usenet (prefered for speed and comfyness) or torrent. So SabNZBd or qtorrent or whatever
If usenet, then you’d need a usenet-account (use one with the highest retention (backlog) like eweka.nl (if you wait for black friday or so, they usually have BIG discounts) and probably an indexer (the search-engine kinda). Like 10 bucks a year if you pay only yearly or like 30 lifetime, depends on service. I’d advise for nzbgeek, they’re cheap and nearly 100% net a result. You could also go for free ones, but they’re always very limited. Probably more than enough for 1-2 movies a week or so. sucks if you want a series with 400 episodes :-)
And of couse:
a media-server. Like Plex or Emby. I personally love emby, i even pay them just because (and for some minor benefits). You could also go for the free jellyfin, but it’s more hassle to setup and i didn’t get it to work reliably (and i’m a fucking pro)
Maybe, if you want to access everything from the outside and don’t want that machine to be totally exposed:
some (reverse)proxy like nginx or caddy. I Prefer caddy, it’s fire&forget like all others mentioned here. Once setup though.
I admit, it’s a bit of tinkering and configuring, but once it’s working it’s fine. The *narrs auto-update reliably, emby does too. Occasionally you might manually update sabnzb and restart emby after an update, but that’s it.
I even integrated everything with telegram so I get notifications when someone added/moved/deleted something or stopped playing or whatever else. completely smart-home-integrated too.
I was lucky enough to get a free m1. That thing uses 10w or so when you remove the stupidity and install Linux on it. But even if you have to buy a Pi - it’ll pay for itself in a few months of not paying for streaming service.
Let’s go crazy and say $. 20/kWh.
10÷1000×8760×.2=$17.5/year.
Not free, but pretty damn close.
Silly argument, as i pay for internet too.
Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn’t nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I’m willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn’t seem as good yet…
I find I just end up watching too much media if it’s too accessible like that. With discs + computer + projector, it’s easier for me to have dedicated media time without it bleeding into other things I should be doing.
Disney, Hulu & Max have a decent bundle although I don’t enjoy the $30 a month price tag for no ads. Paramount has some good content but I don’t think it’s worth the upfront cost. Apple TV & peacock aren’t worth the price especially since apple requires proprietary hardware.
Unfortunately it’s not compatible with my pixel :(
I know where to find the shows it’s just annoying the only device I have that’s officially supported is a smart TV i.e. Vizio & LG.

Does sudo flix work like stremio with torrentio? I.e. I just type what I want and get a list of pirate sources to watch directly?
Yeah, but not as good. RealDebrid basically acts as a CDN for torrents, they’re serving you the files they’ve already downloaded directly to you.
From what I can tell, sudo flix is streaming torrents from the seeders, so you are reliant on there being enough seeders with decent upload speeds.
Somebody feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

With stremio I can copy the strem link to potplayer and potplayer will buffer a good chunk of strem more than stremio’s default player does
fmovies.llc is still up???
Just found this lol. They killed one and 2 sprung in its place.
“The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”
Love this
This just reminded me of movie-web which looked very similar to this… Anyone know something?
Sudo-flix is a fork of Movie-web
movie-web is open source, anyone can host it
Use stremio instead with a vpn active
I still prefer to download movies and TV shows but I currently stream anime from torrents with it and its better quality than the streaming sites
I love stremio, however, it does not seed.
I just use Sonarr, Prowlarr, Transmission, and Jellyfin to get this stuff
looks awesome. gonna have to search for a URL
https://docs.undi.rest/instances
VPN recommended or?

The main sudo site now redirects here: https://docs.undi.rest/instances
Huh, thanks for sharing, I didn’t get this one so far. I saw a link to one of the sites on it and that’s it.
I’m not sure what OP’s talking about, because fmovies is working for me just fine.
What URL are you using? I didn’t realize they had multiple. Another user posted their .lcc domain.

I just use ani-cli.
And lobster for regular movies and tv shows
Can you give us more info about this one? I can’t seem to find it
Here you go
sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something…

I made this.
I fed it to my AI and intend to sell access rights to it.

there’s fboxz it’s an exact clone of fmovies.
Dude, there is the golden age I’ve waited 20yrs for.
Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you’re set. Never worry again.
I’d never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an “easy to get started” guide for him?
I’d recommend TraSH-Guides
There also is the Servarr Wiki
Thank you! I’ll have a look! I mean my friend will 😂

Thank you! Maybe it’s time to replace my pi Armada with a proper server and
proximityproxmox.Anytime. As long as it gets the job done, the PIs are totally fine. At least they don’t consume much power :-)
Pay for piracy? That’ll get ya the plank!
Generally I agree. But I’d be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.
The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.
Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁
That’s what I do

Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.

Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)
Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.
MegaVideo was the golden age
I just pirate whole seasons and then burn them to blu- ray for long term storage/old time’s sake. I love having my media compartmentalized on discs.
I prefer having them instantly accessible from my truenas server. Plex is a godsend.
Sounds like we have the same setup.
Use jellyfin
I will if Plex ever stops doing what I need it to. As it stands, it works perfectly fine so I see no reason to switch.
I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn’t nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I’m willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn’t seem as good yet…
I just use my PC for movies + a projector that’s plugged in, so I like keeping it really simple and avoiding stuff like Plex.
I like being able to access it anywhere, on (most) any device of my choosing.
I find I just end up watching too much media if it’s too accessible like that. With discs + computer + projector, it’s easier for me to have dedicated media time without it bleeding into other things I should be doing.
