Normally I don't have much time to watch movies, and for the occasional one Netflix is good enough. But once a coupple of years there is a specific one I want to see which is not on Netflix.

Normally I can find it on ThePirateBay, but sometimes it's offline.

So my question is, how to get a movie like "Sing 2" in a easy way like I used on TPB now in 2023.

If you wanna go really casual, there's sites like https://movie-web.app which will let you stream most movies in decent quality.

What I learnt the other day from this community.

[–] Caravaggio@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This. You'd be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

And how ass the buffering can be at times too. I've switched to stremio for the family, and torrent movies I want to see offline.

[–] tun@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

It is a hosted version of open source movie-web app

https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

This is stupidly easy, says someone who likes to watch quick and easy stuff with Stremio and Torrential.

I use torrents-csv https://torrents-csv.ml/ and find the movie I want and download it. I'm like you, I hardly watch movies, this is the most seamless way for me to do it.

[–] kek@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Would recommend Stremio with Torrentio plug-in, works great on Google TV

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once set up, it's the laziest way to watch something. Torrentio does have an issue finding torrents for specials and other extra video content.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

With realdebrid it's even better :) But yes special content is hard to find, I still have to revert back to usenet for some content.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (5 children)

well with premiumize it's even better :) they cache usenet and DDL links too. I've had way more success with obscure titles on there than i did with realdebrid

[–] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Go on, this interests me. as an RD user, I'm always interested in knowing that there is a better service.

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

More information about this premiumize? First time hearing about it.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I did some research and found mixed reviews. It's also quite expensive. I also tried Uncloud via Onion but the couple of NZB's I tried failed, probably out of retention, even though they were <1000 days old

Instead, I signed up for Easynews for US$36 for 1 year (via here instead of US$10 / month. Then I installed this Stremio plugin. Some of my shows were not on RD, but I can find them on Easynews. And the good thing is that I can also use it with my *arr + nzbget set up :)

@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com you may be interested in this as well.

[–] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you so much! i will definitely save this comment . I'll try it when my RD subscription ends.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm a bit less happy as EN buffers a lot here. Could be my location. So please try before you buy.

How does one find stuff on usenet?

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

I've got a lifetime account at nzbgeek. There are free sites as well, but most of them don't have an API. I've automated it all with sonarr/radarr and nzbget.

[–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

yts . mx

everything is organised great

no cam bullshit, everything is bluray or webrip

i think movies there are a bit compressed, but personally i dont even notice it

[–] Apeeksiht@lemdro.id 10 points 2 years ago

a better alternative for new movies is psa. wf

their quality is exceptional with small size.

[–] kostel_thecreed@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
  • I love yts because of the small sizes. I don't care about remuxes like the data hoarders in this community.
[–] PurplebeanZ@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The video is ok for the size, but the audio is terrible.

I use torrent galaxy, that seems to work pretty well.

Qbittorent to get the thing you want. Recommended to get a VPN while doing so.

Dump the file into a flash drive and plug into a TV. Or setup a shared network drive. Or set up a Plex server with a basic Music/TV/Movie folder structure , have Plex scan it, and stream like your other streaming apps.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Once I have downloaded it I can play it in VLC on my computer and choose the cromecast as the renderer which works great, the only thing not working are the subtitles.

[–] Notnotmike@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely would second Plex. Previously I just had an external hard drive with my library on it but that isn't as accessible.

With Plex, you can easily get started just installing it on a personal computer and let it grow over time. I had mine on my personal computer for years before recently upgrading to a NAS and it's top tier. Makes streaming to any device effortless and helps you organize your library

This thread has been the first time I've been downvoted for a good faith comment I made lol

[–] mayonaise_met@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

In my country torrent sites are blocked, so I use a search plugin for qBittorrent to find Linux ISOs. I don't quite remember which one I use or how I installed, but it was quite simple. Google is your friend.

[–] kniescherz@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Make sure to use a vpn when your country cares about this stuff. Its not fun to pay 800€ for one episode of the fucking walking dead. (Germany)

Doesn't 1337x.to work for you instead of tpb?

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah didn't know that, will check it out, thanks!

[–] LastYearsPumpkin@feddit.ch 7 points 2 years ago

I know you said it was for movies, which I use them for as well, but there was a recent scandal with 1337 and malware in Baldars Gate 3.

Downloading movies is pretty safe, but if you decide to branch out, I'd be a little hesitant to use 1337 for anything else.

If you've an option to install android apps, then OnStream is a good option.

Second option is HDO.

They generally have 1080p videos, but can also have CAM prints.

(Make sure you’re doing this all behind a VPN)

I don’t personally trust the free streaming sites. I torrent the bare mp4 or mkv file because I can just play it on my own computer without worrying about malware or being tracked.

There are multiple mirrors for The Pirate Bay, just search it on your favorite search engine and they should come up. At least one of them always works. There’s also sites like 1337x, among other free trackers. (RIP RARBG, you’ll always live in our hearts)

There’s also private trackers that are a lot easier to get into than others.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago (6 children)

If you don't need to download it, there's himovies.sx. There used to be option to download, but maybe they had some issues with that.

I think the mega thread is a good place to start, but have checked out x1337 for movies

Genuinely? Find a friend with a plex server. There's plenty of us out there with huge libraries and the automations setup but they're barely utilised. Got any tech-savvy friends or peeps on Lemmy near you?

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like I said I only need it once every couple of years, this seems too ambitious. Anyway I'm in Korea and yeah, don't know many people here yet.
