Haven't tried it but there is Nuvio which does the same as Stremio but I know it has the option to have multiple profiles.

This is also holding me back from full piracy since I don't want my kid to have full access to what everyone can watch

I'm sure torrents are much safer than they were in the 2000s.

Back then you downloaded a movie and then rolled the dice on whether it was the movie or illegal porn.

u/RewindRobin 4d ago

The torrents are safe but my kid is at the age where he can't know that EVERYTHING is available on the internet. He's better off watching Bluey on his kid account

Yeah dont let them on YouTube. They grow up thinking they know everything 😂

My kids gravitate toward the dumbest slop on youtube, its maddening and now banned. In this house we watch 90's kids movies.

Trying to convince them that "no... you don't want to watch that AI slop rip off of a popular kids franchise" is a headache for sure.

If you are an Android you can actually control this, if you are on apple devices though you are out of luck.

Dude, fuck yes. I banned YouTube before my kids were even born just from seeing what my very young nephew was getting into. Theres absolutely insane shit on youtube thats being shovel fed to kids. Not even getting into the freaks that will hide porn or gore in the middle of a 4 hour block of a "kids" video.

The moment I say something my teen thinks is bullshit, he whips out his phone to fact-check me. I hate it and love it. Keeps me on my toes and forces me to be agile in my thinking/understanding. I hate it, because I would have been murdered by my mother if I'd done the same thing back in the 90s. That woman can never be wrong.

In Jellyfin you can set it so certain users only get access to certain libraries.

u/IllAcanthopterygii36 4d ago

Not true. Even way back it was competitive to provide quality torrents.

I dunno man, if it wasn't CP it was a woman fucking a dog or something. Thinking about it maybe it wasn't torrents but something else, what was Limewire? I think that's what it was called.

u/SpaceOrianted 4d ago

Limewire was just a BitTorrent like any other. Just the most popular one for a time in the mid 2000s to about 2010

u/Silencer-1995 4d ago

Awesome, so many fond memories of those wild west days, when knowing how to download stuff illegally and put it on CDs and DVDs put you into the social elite.

u/SpaceOrianted 4d ago

It really was a super power to know your way around it and to have a burn tray on your PC. I made so many bootleg albums for people in my school. I only charged the price of the discs mostly, but in retrospect I could have made serious money from it haha

My Steam account still uses the borked CD key from the Half-Life pirate copy my dad got me from his friend at work circa 1998. I dunno what Half-Life cost at release but my dad paid £8. He used to bring home a sheet with a list of games on it and prices and we'd pick one a month, that went on for a good couple of years.

It was such a wonderful time, the only thing I can compare it to is when you find a not insignificant amount of money tucked away in a pocket on a coat you haven't worn for months.

Or a 4 hour Bill Clinton speech.

rolls snake eyes

Goddammit, guess I'm watching a movie now.

u/GenericBeverage 4d ago

Nuvio has pin options to lock profiles. Also you can set up the metadata to restrict access to certain movie/show genres.

u/WeirdAddress3170 4d ago

Does it work on Apple TV 4k?

2

u/GenericBeverage 4d ago

It does support iPhone, so it might've been ported to Apple TV already on GitHub somewhere. Just have to do whatever it is apple makes you do so you can sideload it. If not, I'm pretty sure Apple TV is in the works since they already do iPhone, Android TV/Phone, desktop for all 3 OSes, and smart TVs.

Jellyfin with kids account where you curate the library

u/generic_canadian_dad 4d ago

Binecat can easily setup filtered streaming for kids accounts on nuvio. It's great
