Any recommendations of a good alternative on android? I'm thinking I'll move to librewolf on desktop but they don't appear to have an android version.

Ah OK, im with you now. If there is a way to do that then I don't know how I am afraid. I would personally just change up the connections so you could use the TV as one of them purely for the ease of it as I like to make my life as easy as possible xD

Sorry I can't help any further with that but good luck with your endeavours, if you choose to go stremio I think you'll be impressed compared to kodi :D

It absolutely is, I even set up stremio on a fire stick for my sister and she is absolutely technologically illiterate and would never have understood kodi but with stremio she is doing just fine!

I'm not really sure what you are asking in the second part though. If I'm running stremio on my laptop then I have my airvpn connection running in the background so everything is going via that connection.

On the fire stick I use the proton VPN app and open that up, connect there then all the traffic on the fire stick is forced to go through there.

Using either method the stremio traffic has to go via the respective VPN. Maybe I'm missing something with the question though so if I'm being stupid please say and I'll try and help further :)

I use a hacked fire stick but pretty sure the exact same setup is achievable on android TV.

You can use stremio + torrentio and utilise your current realdebrid subscription then just install your preferred vpn as well.

Fire up the VPN and connect so that all your traffic is going through that VPN connection and then load up stremio.

I used to use kodi and debrid and this stremio setup is night and day better and easier to use, my gf would refuse to use kodi but this operates so much like Netflix etc that she uses it all the time now as well.

The crawling chaos has spoken!

Likewise for me, 320 is enough as I'm not playing my music on a proper sound system or the like. In that case I can recommend soggfy for it's ease of use as it is just a modified Spotify client, you play the music you want and it intercepts the incoming stream to rip the music. Nice and easy.

I just make playlists and leave it over night to play etc

I use soggfy a lot for Spotify, with a premium account this will rip 320 mp3's for you however I think that is the best you are able to get out of Spotify. You won't be able to get any lossless rips from Spotify regardless of which method you use as far as I am aware.

I think it is still pretty great, at least for the genre that I listen to it is. You will not find this music on traditional torrent sites and the like where as you can find a lot of it on soulseek. Private trackers may have more of these releases but I cannot be fucked with all that bs.

Sadly yes, I see a lot of people (although it may be more isolated to the kinds of music I search out) who have wishlists of releases they are willing to swap some files with and I have also seen a lot of people saying they will unlock files in exchange for bandcamp vouchers and the like.

Within my chosen genre locked files tend to always mean they want something like that in return. Anyone I come across like this I block out of spite, I love sharing files with people but these people don't deserve it IMO.
