Mirarr, a piracy first movie app. (github.com)

Found this on reddit and decided to share. Here's the text from the author:

Hey pirates, I made this fully open source movie/tv shows app.

It's available for Android, Windows and Linux.

Main goal of the app is to reduce the headaches of watching and searching for movies. I always hated checking if a movie is out for downloading, then check each torrent site to download it or check each streaming site to watch it. So I made this app to make this process more enjoyable.

The app is currently on version 1 with minimum features to get started.

Features right now:

New released torrent files for movies and tv shows.
Ability to search for a movie and watch it from different providers or look it up on different torrent sites.
Default movie app features like watchlist, favorites and ratings.

Plans for future:

Adding a torrent downloader and qbittorrent remote inside the app. i Adding a recommendation system based on requested details

I accept feature requests either here or on GitHub issues.

See screenshots for desktop version on GitHub.

So it's basically Popcorn Time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time )? Nice!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Tried it. So it's basically a search engine for piracy sites? Like it opens a browser window of a piracy site of your choosing and you play it in the browser. I think torrentio + stremio is better experience, but for free, this ain't too bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

This is also free though?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Before anything, will this get a bunch of not technically knowledgeable people flagged by the *AA corps?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Wow, this is perfect for the masses (that I don't want to admin/tech support for)!

People love installing apps. And even installing one for them is ez.

May the high seas of democratic culture be kind to you!

Anyone try this on Android TV-like box? Perhaps I will. Though will be kind of hard to usurp the Stremio/Debrid/Torrentio/Orion setup. Might be a nice Plan B for when Debrid lays an egg.

GitHub huh?

Place your bets on when the takedown request occurs.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 4 months ago

I mean all the usual arrs and overseerr and jellyseerr and such are already on github, so it's... probably fine?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is this any better than radarr+overseerr?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Doesn't sound like it would be

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

How is this different from popcorn time and stremio?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 months ago (2 children)

What does this do that Jellyfin+Radarr+qbittorrent doesn't do?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Its everything in one. Much simpler for the average person to use

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

So, streamio + torrentio?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes but in one app what are you not getting lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That torrentio is an add-on of streamio, it's 1 app too...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It seems you don't want to understand what the other guy is telling you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Just what the other guy told you. I get that it's a good idea, so good that it has already been done. Streamio+torrentio is the same concept and once set up (takes 5 minutes MAX), it works the same way. I still prefer a full servarr setup though.

(low key shame on this product for having the *arr suffix while being a replacement of the servarr stack)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It seems you don't want to understand what [email protected] is telling you

Okay, let me break it down like this: Do you use a browser like Firefox or Chrome? Do you use an ad blocker on it, like uBlock? What if there was some all-new browser that was Firefox/Chrome but with ad-blocking in it? Would you immediately be hyped and jump ship, or just shrug your shoulders and think “why not just use an addon in the actual browser?”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I'd not be interested, but happy that there's competition on that front as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

This is literally what Vivaldi is and yeah, I'd rather use Firefox with uBO.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Except no debrid service.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago

Yup, curious as well. Thought this may accompany the rest of the *arr stack, but nope. Just a way to manually download things or stream them?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, will check it out after work
