Long time Kodi and Plex user, it was a matter of time that I started messing around with this.

      Actually my setup is:

      1. Stremio for everything

      2. CloudStream for anime and 1080p content

      3. Kodi as a backup of Stremio

      4. Plex with my limited but curated content

      In that order.

      My experience with cloudstream was mixed to say the least. The UI is a confusing mess for starters and I’ve lost count of the amount of times some show just wouldn’t load or is in some very shitty low resolution, not to mention chromecast support barely works.

        What is the provider source you used?

        I think many are very well served with Sorastreams.

        Also I think the UI is very Netflix-like, so not confusing at all for most people, but yeah I feel more comfortable navigating with Stremio.

        About Chromecast I do agree, I started using Android apps to have a good Kodi replacement “on the go” I ended up setting up Stremio (which worked better than CS when casting), and even became my main when I realized it had ATV versions as well plus settings synced in all my devices lol.

          SoraStream, SoraStream-Lite, and StremioX never work for me. I always get an error when I select something. Any ideas why or advice on how to address it?

            SoraStream

            Huh, other than having the latest source of the addon, I don’t think you need to do anything, AFAIK SoraStream fetches content from many websites, so you’ll likely have issues if you are watching “unpopular” or “obscure” stuff, and even then I think it should be able to have some sources for it.

            For example, I was looking at what website it had Shaman King Flowers with Spanish subs, and I couldn’t find any with a good quality, SoraStream provided me one, with deficient subs though.

          I don’t really remember which sources I used, I think Sorastreams was one, but even then it was a shot in the dark. Sometimes I’d get decent quality, sometimes I’d get really bad quality… Stremio is just more consistent and I have more control overall.

            Yeah I agree with the last part.

            I think CS really shines with anime streams (and it was way better when Crunchyroll streams worked) but Stremio with Torrentio and Kitsu don’t fall too far.
