I'm getting an android tablet soon (will be a present and a little birdie told it to me). Nothing fancy, just some mid-range 10 inch one with basic features. I'm planning to mainly use it for comic books, but while I'm at it might as well watch movies on it.

So my question is: any good setup/apps/guides for movie streaming or downloading I should know about? I don't have a home server, or anything, usually just torrent what I want on my desktop PC and watch it there, but I have zero experience with pirating movies on android.

I will definitely not use the tablet for social media, google services, etc so I can do with it whatever I want, it's purely for comics/ebooks/movies.

If you don't wanna faff about on a PC to obtain movies/TV shows, Stremio (+Torrentio addon and a Real-Debrid subcription) is probably the smoothest piracy experience you could get on a tablet.

If you're fine with doing it manually, you could just install Libretorrent to download stuff and VLC to play the files.

Stremio + RD. Nothing comes close

Mihon for comic books

is there any up to date list of cloudstream sources? I thought it was dead but apparently not.

Not exactly a piracy tool, but syncthing is quite useful to keep pc and other devices in parity if you don't plan to leave one on all the time.

You didn't mention gaming, but if you plan to use your tablet for emulators, you can sync save files with it if the emulators are compatible cross pc and android like ppsspp.

Thank you. Not planning to game. I have that covered by my pc and game consoles :)

I'd put Tivimate and a Chinese M3u

MuPDF is good for books and comics, KOReader is better but it takes time to learn it. I would get a big SD card, download movies/books/stuff on pc and just transfer them using SMB/(S)FTP/USB.

For movies and streaming i would go for cloudstream For comics idk much sources but ik about mihon (aka Tachiyomi after DMCA) it has a lot of mangas and all...
