I’ve always felt like the whole docker/jellyfin/plex/loads-of-other-apps stuff is way too overboard just to do a bit of pirating, so I usually just hop on one of the movie/show or anime streaming sites with uBlock Origin installed and watch that way.

Currently I’m looking at what I can setup in the living room, and was thinking of just using an old PC with a wireless keyboard. I would like to use a media center type interface, but I’ve never actually used Kodi before. Would I be able to just use Kodi to stream from those kinds of services?

Searches so far show that everyone apparently uses Kodi with something called Real Debrid, which I have zero interest in.

    I dont know about kodi, but I do know something called stremio has a plug in to stream torrents, and it seems like what you’re looking for.

      +1 for stremio. Will even work on most smart TV’s and etc.

      As for debrid services, depending on your usecase, you may find them useful. I explain them to my partner in this way… Sure, we could use the free torrent sites, but if they want access to their shows and movies sooner and in better quality (not cam or TS or other crap quality) and want reliable streams, then the couple of bucks a month is worth it. Of course if that’s not an issue for you, then you don’t need access to any debrid type service, just add a few free torrent site add-ons to your stremio
