Stremio is a 100% legal, unlike Popcorn Time it's not designed and distributed only for infringement use cases.

Of course, just like Plex, you can use torrent add-ons with it.

Something to point out is that we do suggest to the users add-ons which are popular in the area, so it makes any experience very streamlined.

How does it compare to Plex? Seems very similar.

If you test it out, you'll find out. It's much easier to setup & use.

Besides the usability and ease of use, it's pretty much the same concept :)

Plex cannot solve these issues easily, because of it's technical design, the add-ons system / concept itself and the server architecture that is so important for their users

Think of Stremio as a possible Plex for the masses.

Installed it. Works well. Comes up with a list of movies/shows similar to how popcorn time did. If you click on one, it shows you options for viewing like netflix/amazon, but also a link to JC Torrents to stream it.

So my quick review: It's like Plex with popcorn time built in.
