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.

There used to be plugins for that. Don't know if they still exist. But they broke at least once every other year with a short period of uncertainty until a replacement was found.

Sometimes you'd need a companion app to solve CAPTCHAs. And when you just about settled in comfortably everything broke again.

This was why I moved away from Kodi. The ongoing "maintenance" was just too much effort..
