RIP fmovies. Long live sudo

fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added “FBI” up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don’t understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

Losing fmovies wasn't the bad thing as there are dozens of clones. It's the hosting services that really took a hit. The reliable ones have been down for a while. The ones left buffer much slower and can't handle peak times as well. Those years with fmovies really felt like the golden age of piracy.

Dyskolos ,

Dude, there is the golden age I’ve waited 20yrs for.

Check sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/lidarr etc. A lil work, some mere bucks a month for extra comfyness and you’re set. Never worry again.

RamblingPanda ,

I’d never pirate myself, obviously, but a friend in a restrictive country is interested in this. Is there an “easy to get started” guide for him?

Dyskolos , (edited )

I would pay legit services. But to see it all i would need multiple services with multiple apps, half of which wouldn’t run on my rooted devices. So fuck them.

Sadly no. Not that i know. But once it’s setup it basically runs forever without tinkering. Impressive for open-source. Could name the software and/or services that are helpful.

RamblingPanda ,

The first paragraph hits so hard. “That show is with this service now, but only the last season. If you want to each watch all of them you’ll have to get three subscriptions”

Fuck off…

What’ll be the min spec for the setup? Can it be run from a pi 4, for example?

Thanks 💖

As you’re obviously no american, you also know that even if you’d pay netflix (for the FULL price i might add) you only get a fraction of what they got and not a penny discount for it. Sorry, but no. If you want my money, OFFER ME SOMETHING. Or discount me. That is just robbery.

So, you at least need a server for the whole work. A pi could do it, although you might not expect stellar performance off of it, but it would get the job done I assume. Except maybe live transcoding if that’s necessary (like watching 4k uhd content on a 720p phone or so).

So min-spec would be the combined min-spec for all services. As they probably also run on linux (i use win-20xx-server) it really should do.

You’d need:

  • The **nars you’d want (radarr=movies, sonarr=series, bazarr=subs, lidarr=music etc. and there’s even one for porn lol)
  • a downloader, either usenet (prefered for speed and comfyness) or torrent. So SabNZBd or qtorrent or whatever
  • If usenet, then you’d need a usenet-account (use one with the highest retention (backlog) like eweka.nl (if you wait for black friday or so, they usually have BIG discounts) and probably an indexer (the search-engine kinda). Like 10 bucks a year if you pay only yearly or like 30 lifetime, depends on service. I’d advise for nzbgeek, they’re cheap and nearly 100% net a result. You could also go for free ones, but they’re always very limited. Probably more than enough for 1-2 movies a week or so. sucks if you want a series with 400 episodes :-)

And of couse:

  • a media-server. Like Plex or Emby. I personally love emby, i even pay them just because (and for some minor benefits). You could also go for the free jellyfin, but it’s more hassle to setup and i didn’t get it to work reliably (and i’m a fucking pro)

Maybe, if you want to access everything from the outside and don’t want that machine to be totally exposed:

  • some (reverse)proxy like nginx or caddy. I Prefer caddy, it’s fire&forget like all others mentioned here. Once setup though.

I admit, it’s a bit of tinkering and configuring, but once it’s working it’s fine. The *narrs auto-update reliably, emby does too. Occasionally you might manually update sabnzb and restart emby after an update, but that’s it.

I even integrated everything with telegram so I get notifications when someone added/moved/deleted something or stopped playing or whatever else. completely smart-home-integrated too.

if you have more questions, just hit me :)

RamblingPanda ,

Thank you! Maybe it’s time to replace my pi Armada with a proper server and proximity.

AceSLS ,

I’d recommend TraSH-Guides

There also is the Servarr Wiki

RamblingPanda ,

Thank you! I’ll have a look! I mean my friend will 😂

Pay for piracy? That'll get ya the plank!

CosmicTurtle0 OP ,

Generally I agree. But I’d be willing to pay what I would pay a streaming company if they had all the content I wanted.

The automated services are quite nice. Ive enjoyed not managing a seed box for a while but it is the only guaranteed way these days.

Dyskolos ,

Dude, for that sum you could pay people pirating and servicing it for you 😁

BossDj ,

That’s what I do

iorale ,

Same, specially searching for old movies in latinamerican spanish [ES-419] that haven’t been remastered with a new, shitty dub is almost impossible or they just don’t exist online.

Dyskolos ,

Silly argument, as i pay for internet too. Also 5 bucks are not even a fucking coffee. For that i get what i dreamt of when i was selling pirate-cds for hundreds of bucks.

veroxii ,

Must be nice having one or those free computers running on free electricity with free internet.

Pay for a vpn, which is good for more than just piracy (mostly piracy though)

MegaVideo was the golden age

there’s fboxz it’s an exact clone of fmovies.

sudo-flix, piracy app hosted on github. Probably will be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something…

Yes its sudo-flix, a piracy app hosted on github. It probably wil indeedl be taken down like popcorn time, that nintendo emulator, and a bunch of other things. Wouldn’t surprise you if they ended up on radicle, or codeberg, or I2P or something? I agree.

fmovies dot llc seems to work fine.

CosmicTurtle0 OP ,

Oh nice! I didn’t know they had more urls. I was using fmovies24.to

Does sudo flix work like stremio with torrentio? I.e. I just type what I want and get a list of pirate sources to watch directly?

RootBeerGuy ,
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I am confused. Sudoflix is down since a week or two already. How is it still working for you? They had a successor that they named on their page, maybe you mean that one.

Chozo ,

I'm not sure what OP's talking about, because fmovies is working for me just fine.

CosmicTurtle0 OP ,

What URL are you using? I didn’t realize they had multiple. Another user posted their .lcc domain.

Chozo ,

I've had this open in a tab for several weeks now. Just refreshed, checked new episodes of stuff that's come out in the last few days, no issues. I wasn't even aware there were mirrors/clones.

CosmicTurtle0 OP ,

The main sudo site now redirects here: docs.undi.rest/instances

Huh, thanks for sharing, I didn’t get this one so far. I saw a link to one of the sites on it and that’s it.

Disney, Hulu & Max have a decent bundle although I don’t enjoy the $30 a month price tag for no ads. Paramount has some good content but I don’t think it’s worth the upfront cost. Apple TV & peacock aren’t worth the price especially since apple requires proprietary hardware.

wonderfulvoltaire ,

Unfortunately it’s not compatible with my pixel :( I know where to find the shows it’s just annoying the only device I have that’s officially supported is a smart TV i.e. Vizio & LG.

TimewornTraveler ,

looks awesome. gonna have to search for a URL
