movie-web is another cool web app for streaming movies/tv shows
That link is a 404
Fuck my browser, it keeps suggesting me that one broken link from my history. The correct link is https://movie-web.github.io/docs
Thanks for pointing this out though
Just realized that a little quick start guide would be pretty useful, as the documentation isn't very straight-forward:
You don't need to self-host it, you can, but you don't have to. Just go to any one of the public instances and either install the browser addon, or use this guide to deploy a proxy for free. This is useful if you can't install browser addons, e.g. in the PWA or on a mobile browser that doesn't support extensions. That's it actually, you can now search for any movie/TV show you like and stream or download it completely for free.
Oh this is great! I love Stremio, but the idea of having something like it that runs on a web server where anyone in my house can just use a normal web browser without any additional software is a great improvement.
Does movie-web use torrents too?
I spent a few minutes googling what the source for the movies is, with no luck. Any insight?
Showbox, VidSrcTo, Goojara, ZoeChip, HDRezka, VidSrc, Nepu, GOmovies, RidoMovies, FlixHQ, SmashyStream, Remote Stream
Thank you!
So not torrents?
No
I dont get it. So what's to prevent the actual video source providers from getting taken down if its not a p2p network?
The internet is a global network. There are countries that don't give a fuck about the DMCA.
Dunno, Even Russia let the US to shutdown BTC-E. Its hard to imagine any country preventing the US military from entering with guns to shutdown something they their plutocrats said needs to go..
That's why movie-web doesn't uses many different sources located in multiple countries. It's very unlikely that all those sites get shut down at the same time. And if they do, new mirrors will come up quickly.
