With the recent password sharing crackdown, I decided to ditch my Netflix subscription and try piracy. What I miss about Netflix is scrolling through content and finding something to watch. With piracy I need to know exactly what I am looking for.

So I am wondering if it's possible to have a Netflix like GUI but powered by piracy? And as this is the pirate world, it shows shows and movies not just from Netflix but also from the other streaming services? And finally it is available on TVs ( Samsung tizen in my case). Something like this would be the best case scenario. Wondering if someone has a similar setup?

Kodi is what your looking for. A debrid + kodi is basically netflix with shows from around the world, in high quality, on demand.

But, it is not available on TVs as a seperate app. Companies do not like piracy, so many applications that are related to it do not make the appstores. A cheap and easy way to get Kodi would be to simply buy a Intel NUC, or a similar mini-pc.

Any android TV compatible streamer can get Kodi from the play store.

It's also on F-Droid if your TV doesn't have the Google Play Services - I run LineageOS on my TV box!

Or this. Forgot about android TVs. Used to have an nVidia shield, are those still around?

Idk but I remember they were overkill for just kodi. A xiaomi 4k streamer should be enough, or Respberry pi

They are, but they’re high. Better off getting a Amazon fire stick

I had nothing but problems with firesticks, just underpowered and bloated. Got a Roku and have had much better luck. I hear you can run Kodi on it just fine I haven't done it myself though.
