Netflix is cable now. And cable is expensive.

Anyone know of a good way to browse Netflix titles without an account? That’s honestly the only thing I miss from Netflix; discovering what to watch serendipitously

[–] the_artic_one@programming.dev 32 points 10 months ago

JustWatch has catalogs for all the streaming services.

If you use Stremio, Cyberflix plugin can give you all the lists from all the major streaming sites.

Torrentio* plug in does too. I'm glad there's choices.

What part are you confused about?

[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I cannot see any plugin named like that

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh man, my bad. I had the name wrong. Its torrentio

[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Torrentio does not offer any catalog. It just searches for torrents of the product you have clicked on.

The original comment user was missing the Netflix catalogs that "curate" content by genre, popularity, etc.

Torrentio does nothing of that. Cyberflix does.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can order everything by genre and popularity, new, etc. Not sure what the problem is.

[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

That is not done thanks to torrentio, not at all.

My strategy is use plex watchlist feature to find all the shows I want to watch on all services then when I have a few I sign up for a month watch them all then cancel and switch to something else.

Based off your personal Netflix streaming data? There's no API for recommendations available externally. You would need to input that data into another platform. Trakt isn't the most open, but it's probably the most compatible with pirate services. Tbh I find that browsing 'top trending' on whatever add-on isn't much different specifically for targeting results from Netflix though
