I recently made a post about potentially setting up a Plex server or something similar because my Kodi streaming setup so so bad. Then I started thinking there has to be a better way to stream. I thought I would try this before setting up a server.

Current Setup: Right now I just had Kodi installed on my fire sticks with the addon "The Crew". To make this short, it sucks. Half the links don't work, it doesn't have everything I want to watch, and the UI is just a list of shows with no cover art, it isn't good for just scrolling to try to find something to watch, like you would on Netflix.

What I'm looking for: I'm looking for a way to stream shows & movies reliably without a VPN. I would also love for it to have a good UI, with cover art so you can just scroll and find something to watch. Right now it just having everything in list form makes it no good for wanting to just scroll and find something new to watch.

I would love to know how other people stream tv. I know there has to be a better way than what I am doing now.
