Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update (fandomwire.com)

Recent reports have announced that Crunchyroll, the largest anime streaming service, will be replacing Aegisub with Israeli Software, OOONA, to produce subtitles more efficiently. Anime fans across the world are disappointed with this collaboration due to Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians (via a report by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry).

Crunchyroll is also ignoring the needs of groups who require Closed Captions to understand the scenes better. They are isolating a large chunk of their audience in favor of AI-based subtitling, which defeats the point of a streaming service. Overall, this hasn’t been a great year for Crunchyroll, and this won’t be the end of it.

The point of the setup is you only need to do it once, you don't set up everything every time you want to download something...

Got any guides for that stuff? Sounds pretty neat

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Google stremio + realdebrid, it's all spelled out step by step on many guides, you basically download the app (on pc, android, tvs) add community repos, add torrentio, click customize, paste your real debrid api key and you're done. Past that you can pick extensions like marvels or other torrent addons to add categories and other sources.

Real debrid you pay like 6$ a month for, it automatically dloads the torrent when you click it or grabs from its cache (almost always cached/downloaded by others)Makes stremio run as fast/smooth as netflix/hulu/etc.

Stremio auto tracks what is watched, keeps history/playback time accurately. It's basically how kodi addons used to be as it's own smoother app.

Never heard of stremio, sounds like it plays the role of a media server, in which case it doesn't have to be streamio? Plex or Jellyfin could work too

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

Stremio is the "downloader" and the "streamer", so it's both. Plex and Jellyfin require you to download beforehand.
