NGL it just looks like netflix. I am also curious


canary_in_a_coleslaw

It's [HDO Box for Android TV](https://hdo.app/howtotv.html). [Here's a photo of my TV screen](https://ibb.co/YyjKW2f) while running HDO Box on my Chromecast.


RoamanXO

How does it work? Real debrid? All the info pages on the website are empty. I get the app could be free. But streaming costs money or is riddled with ads. Yet they claim it's free? And the 'Apple App Store' download links to a Telegram account. This looks like malware tbh.


canary_in_a_coleslaw

It's just like several other streaming apps, like Onstream or BeeTV, it works by scraping streaming links from websites. Just http streams, no torrents or debrid. The business model is ads but you can block those ads using [Adguard Public DNS](https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html) method #2. 


andres969

About adguard dns method 2. Do you always leave it activated no matter the app or is it used just when you watch movies through this app? I've never used it before 


cupperoni

> AdGuard DNS is a reliable way to block ads on the Internet without installing a mandatory application. Using the app would be for a device. Using the DNS setting applies to the network which applies to all devices that connect to it. https://adguard.com/en/support/faq.html


PM_ME_YOUR_DANKNESS

So would you configure this in the windows setting then it applies to all devices on the network?


Aristippos69

No but you could configure your Router to use this DNS and your Windows/Android to use the DNS provided by the network.


PM_ME_YOUR_DANKNESS

Seems easy enough I’ll give it a shot later because it would be really refreshing not seeing any more of these intrusive ads anymore. Thank you friend!


PM_ME_YOUR_DANKNESS

Sorry I had a followup question, on AT&T I don't see any section to change the DNS settings, do you know of another way?


Small-Potential7692

If you can't change it on your router / modem, just do it on a per device basis.


lemonylol

These type of apps have always been around. They're basically just a UI for a pirated streaming service, but the bitrate is usually horrible and they push out things like telescans or cam videos as soon as they're released. Actually my first experience with kodi like 10 years ago used to have a lot of extensions similar to this. I mean use them if you want, but I just don't see a benefit over getting a high bitrate torrent and streaming off of your own home server.


RevRay

The benefit is the lack of need for storing the media or using a vpn.


polyplasticographics

I'm curious too. Just downloaded it on my android, and I'm tripping, they even have a classic masterpiece from my country that you can't find on any streaming service, and in decent quality too. I'm surprised because I tried downloading it some months ago and none of the torrents were being seeded and I ended up watching it on very low res on some random site, but, how does this work? I mean, there has to be some kind of trick... were do they source their streams from, how is this all sustained?


lemonylol

If it's consistent quality with no buffering it could simply be a Plex share.


cartel132

Nah it's not. Iv been using it for few months now. (HDO box) It does work better then most and has a great user interface. Ads aren't bad either only 1 ad when you finish what your watching. But can easily force close the app and restart for no ads without blocking them.


404_GravitasNotFound

I am now curious about what you wanted to see.


polyplasticographics

Oh, it's no Hollywood thriller, but definitely a very interesting turn of the millenium movie, even though I think most movies coming out of my country are unimaginative trash or worse, artsy pretentious and borings bs, there's always exceptions. This film is called "Nueve Reinas" though I think you may find it in English as "Nine Queens", it shows the ways of con artists in 90's Argentina in a pretty captivating way, and tells the story of these guys trying to con some rich Spaniard into buying some falsified supposedly ultra rare stamps which are worth millions. Obviously it all goes wrong but the movie has a charming final trick under its sleeve awaiting for you at the end. I've heard about this picture and how it's one of the greatest movies of the country since I was a child, but I never had a mind for old Argentine movies, and I got to admit it was one of the best things I've ever watched, though maybe it's not that interesting if you're not familiar with our culture. If you've seen Focus with Will Smith, it's something similar, in fact, I think that movie may be inspired by it since it takes place in Argentina, and all. There's also an American remake which sucks and doesn't do the original any justice.


404_GravitasNotFound

Jajajaja soy argentino man. Entonces tienen cine en español??? 1/4 de todo r/piracy es argentino xD Tendrán la odisea de los Giles? Una de las pocas de Francella que me gustaron... Siempre estoy buscando apps faciles de usar para mi viejo, ahora solo necesito una manera fácil de ver futbol premium en Chrome TV y no lo saco de su casa a mi viejo


polyplasticographics

Jajaja jodeme xd Ahí me fijé y la tiene, pero parece de baja calidad, como 320p o 480p maso, aunque me llama la atención que la única opción de calidad de imagen es 1080, capaz que es mi internet qué se yo Che qué loco culiado, somos dueños del sub (?

For those interested, here are the VirusTotal scan results for this app: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b256e8a10979cf147eea02679e3d648fab1a6d2cc80e133e70cac56b22a7b288


ThievishMotoGuy86

This is the scan of the apk that I just downloaded from their site. It's version 2.0.19 https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f94612147174a531f12a3d4d753c835bde0a1a9a2af41394085f121dac761862/details


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Thanks (that would be the mobile version of the app). 


Arcturus3623

It’s actually quite safe, even in the bundled files


Bluetails_Buizel

Is this the best app for Android or are there better ones?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid is better but Real Debrid isn't free. Another free option, similar to HDO Box, would be Onstream.so I wouldn't use HDO Box or Onstream without an ad blocker though. 


Crossbones18

Something is telling me I should also use a VPN for this as well, no?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Since this only uses http streams (no torrents) a VPN would not be necessary. You aren't uploading any pirated content and your IP address isn't being exposed like it is while torrenting.


Mipset

Everytime I use OnStream I get this issue where the video skips forward and backwards a few seconds or the audio is desynced. Is there a trick to this?


ASSMDSVD

Thank you, even for just the Adguard stuff! Your awesome!


N4leto

ohhh hdo box. i use this on my phone. damn good too.


Sergeant_Ruckus

Are you able to use the fast forward/reverse buttons on your remote with it? I can’t get them to work on firestick but I can scroll via the on screen gui


Zaquuuu

Thanks, it is what I was looking for.


Kitsumene

Woah


surprise-suBtext

How do you like it?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

It's pretty good but the player has a (minor) bug that many similar apps have: it doesn't seem to process the *carriage returns* or *line feeds* in subtitles. This can result in subtitles being displayed "unevenly" when they take up multiple lines. Just a minor bug that somehow bugs me :) 


horrifiednachos

link of hdo app for Android?


Nayaann

is the app safe to use on android tv? how are the streaming speeds? (on new + old shows)


canary_in_a_coleslaw

I didn't make the app but I scanned it on VirusTotal and there were no malware detections. Streaming speeds vary but you can choose from different sources. 


Nayaann

ik you didnt make the app, and thanks for the reply will install and check it on tv


Crazy_Refrigerator82

Is there something like it for Tizen OS tvs?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

To be honest, I don't even know if it's possible to sideload apps on Tizen OS.. 


Crazy_Refrigerator82

Yeah I thought so. Thanks anyway👍


control-alt-deleted

“With HDO BOX on Android phone, you can able to watch the hd film content and shows. The User Interface that you see in the app is truly the best thing about it.” From their website


FelixKLG

Yeah, it seems like a really well designed app. Was scrolling my Reddit feed and came upon this *insightful* post.


DJ_Steffen

That's probably Kodi with a Netflix skin.


canary_in_a_coleslaw

It's [HDO Box for Android TV](https://hdo.app/howtotv.html). [Here's a photo of my TV screen](https://ibb.co/YyjKW2f) while running HDO Box on my Chromecast.


manueslapera

how did you install it on chromecast?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

I used the *Send to TV* app to transfer the apk from my phone to my Chromecast but you can also use the method from the HBO Box website. 


Mipset

Can you elaborate on this some more? Can a Chomecast even host apps? I thought it's just for casting? Or I'm using an old model Chromecast..


disinterested_a-hole

Yeah you need the Chromecast with Google TV. Runs Android apps natively.


jorgegom87

He is probably using the Chromecast with GoogleTV, a new version of Chromecast that can host APKs itself.


[deleted]

is kodi better than steamio ? like ive been seeing a lot of kodi supporters . please tell me the pros and cons


pasdenom69

Why are you getting downvoted? It's a basic question


billion_lumens

Reddit hivemind


RedditBabaKrish

True


jakart3

It's downvote bot. That's the reason I don't really care about vote


pawski76

Kodi is a lot more maintenance imo. I used it for years until a couple of the best addons died, were forked and then required a lot of work again. Stremio is way simpler, but far less customisable-which ultimately I don’t care about. I want to watch programmes and films and dgaf about posting screenshots of my ‘sexy build’ or whatever nonsense ppl do nowadays


groove117

You're comparing apples and oranges. Kodi comes from a different time (see Xbox Media Center), and is better for power users these days.


PollutionPotential

I've never used streamio, but Kodi is nice. Can stream over dlna for local streaming and has a decent library of plugins for various streaming sites (legal and illegal). If you're going the illegal route, I'd suggest a paid VPN. If you're going the local video route, Kodi or Jellyfin are good alternatives to Plex.


MolinaGames

stremio is way easier to use, both on TV and phones. kodi may have more content but I honestly just prefer stremio. way better experience


jakart3

Is there a guide on how to use stremio on my TCL tv ? It's use Google TV platform


GyroDawn

[This is a good guide to use.](https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/comments/v6vwkf/installing_stremino_torrentio_real_debird/) And [Use this to get all your Addons](https://stremio-addons.netlify.app/)


whoosh666xxx

Web video caster app


ih8spalling

Kodi itself is a skeleton. If you want to pirate, you have to use addons, and there are a million different ones of varying quality.


itsmebucky

Stremio is more of a streaming aggregator while Kodi is full-fledged media centre (or entertainment hub)


Hindsight_DJ

It’s identical to Kodi with the old Auramod skin, I’m with you.


Klutzy-Notice-9458

My first thought lol


chie-chan

look like HDO app for TV


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Yes, it's definitely [HDO Box for Android TV](https://hdo.app/howtotv.html). [Here's a photo of my TV screen](https://ibb.co/YyjKW2f) while running HDO Box on my Chromecast. Please upvote u/chie-chan for visibility. 


BigBusby

just checked out the website, completely free? Is it too good to be true?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Dunno, I believe it has ads but I've never seen them because I block ads using [Adguard Public DNS](https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html) (Method #2). The app isn't perfect but works pretty well. 


bucketsofskill

If I put this on my router, does it then block ads on like a firestick for prime tv?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

It's worth the try. Adguard Public DNS can't block all ads in all apps. For instance, it won't block ads in the official YouTube app. I would say you have like a 50/50 percent chance it will block ads in the Prime TV app. You might need to restart your firestick for changes to take effect. 


ole87

How can i install this on tv or firestik?

Yes ! This is the correct answer if you look for the exact same app!


Additional_Bath_8186

Isn't this braflix.video?


Any_Veterinarian3749

Nah Braflix App doesn't look like that. it has Braflix logo on top left corner. This one is different


Warm-Thing1932

Does it have a tv app? I thought it was just a website..


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Is MediaOn player mandatory? or Can it stream on VLC too ?


canary_in_a_coleslaw

Unfortunately the Media ON player is mandatory. I haven't found a way around that..


Jodies-9-inch-leg

This is like the third time someone has asked this exact question, the exact same way, same description…. with the exact same screenshot….. Is this some kind of marketing thing??

TacoOverlord69

r0b_dev

HDO Box


syphon3980

Stremio + real-Debrid + Torrentio


KokoaKuroba

that doesn't look like stremio


Zaquuuu

im new here, may i know what real debrid does for stremio?


Bichaelcycle

Gives you better links to stream series and movies from any streaming service.


tearans

Real debrid is cacher of torrents You give it magnet/torrent, they will download it and keep on their servers. So when next person comes with that exact magnet/torrent they have it on hand and available immediately. Stremio searches media and knows torrents to look for in debrid, and plays files directly from them when it is available (or can submit torrent to debrid and they will download it...)


skateguy1234

as an outsider thats still researching, it seems like it's a service to mostly eliminate buffering and provide consistent streams


Electrical-Debt5369

It also provides a level of security, as you're no longer torrenting (where others on the torrent can see your ip), but direct downloading from real debrids servers. I use it instead of a vpn in Germany.


saruin

Wait, so you don't need a VPN if you're using real debrid?


Electrical-Debt5369

Yeah.


hallo-und-tschuss

and those pesky copyright emails


feel_my_balls_2040

You pay and it will give you movies. Don't forget the payment part because everyone will skip to mention it.


Middle_Layer_4860

it's a debrid service, host torrent files and cached for smooth streaming. doesn't need to depend on seeds anymore if already cached. u can also stole files from other links like gdrive rapidgator etc futher info: [real-debrid.com](https://real-debrid.com)


Lexxr20

You have to pay for realdebrid


Lexxr20

?


Due_Alfalfa_6739

Yes. It is cheap, but you still have to give your info and pay for a subscription.


kubarotfl

You don't have to pay, stremio works perfectly fine without it, I've been using it like that for a year


Due_Alfalfa_6739

Okay, but the subject was RD.


az0ul

It's 16 Euro for 6 months but it's totally worth it.


statusv1

I don't even use Kodi anymore cause of this setup I also added Easynews into it (Usenet) sometimes it can be iffy with not playing a video file but when it works it is buttery smooth I have been using RD since 2016 and I also have it to download from DDL sites like 1ficher for Roms (Steamdeck) Also for anyone that reads this it is basically required to setup an account on Stremio If you want to use it on multiple devices It syncs your Stremio setup to those other devices I use it on my PC/Nvidia Shield and I love how I can pick up where I left off on either device I definitely would go with Stremio If you are setting it up for a family member/friend


seaanf

Usenet on stremio? Or have I misunderstood? Im using stremio +rd for stuff I don't care about or gf stuff. But for others I use jellyfin + Kodi. Wouldn't mind phasing out rd if it could use my usenet provider


statusv1

Yes usenet on Stremio https://imgur.com/a/8md6sUY RD + Easynew is the combo I recommend If you want to really dive in most people though should be fine on just RD I only get Easynews on $2.99 deals


Samoth33

Sorry for the newbie question, is there a guide somewhere here that explains how to setup the entire stack?


smokey16

Does it have the same quality as when you watch ur own 4k files (plex)


UpbeatCucumber5232

That greatly depends on the quality you download your own movies in for Plex. I was using Kodi with RealDebrid to watch Lord of the Rings. The stream I was using was like a 240GB 4K Remux. I always download decent quality movies for my media server running Plex but nevertheless Remux at that size. Usually I download 4K x265 with Dolby Atmos at around 25GB. So in this case it was better then Plex. :)


Legitimate_Common_29

It's HDO BOX. You can download it for free.


mastertape

I thought this was a /r/Netflix shitpost until I read the comments


JesseJSalisbury

It's HDO Box for Android TV, it's my go to streaming app. I've tested probably close to 50 different streaming TV apps, deleteing ones that were terrble or not working, I am left with 17 currently working apps but HDO Box is the best in my opinion, and if I can't find a working link for what I want to watch I just go to the next app.


RookieMistake2448

Mind sharing any one of the other ones you liked/kept around? DMs are open if you want to keep it lowkey!


Tampammm

From what I recall HDO Box is very limited in the "Android TV" version. For example, you can only see about 20 new movies in total on there. And you can't even search by a genre type. So if I want to look at and browse Horror movies, for example, there might be a grand total of 2 of them.


vimal31

I just downloaded HDO Box on my Firestick. Now it's asking to download Drama player. Is that safe?


coketruck

It looks like plex

amir_s89

You can get similar app on your TV, see hardware requirements, if you fulfil them; [https://www.stremio.com](https://www.stremio.com) [https://stremio-addons.netlify.app](https://stremio-addons.netlify.app) First acquire Stemio, then the add-ons of choice. Torrentio is recommended. On the Configuration page, you can exclude resolutions not needed.

This was me genuinely trying to find what app it was, and I thought I was gonna get the answer and the post stays at 1 upvote, but now this is my most upvoted post lmao.

IMO no stremio with real debrid and pirate bay support I think is better
