This is a cool setup. But torrents in Europe? Too many horror stories.

I usually avoid anything to do with torrents. I don't know how to get a VPN working on TVs basically.

Is this possible without torrents? Like getting content from a streaming website rather than torrents?

Is it possible to have such a setup without the torrents but rather using a streaming website? Also does are there prepackaged setups with all these ready to use for example a raspberry pi os built with everything. I just hook it up with my NAS for storage and am good to go?

I do use cloudstream. Its good but often the links don't work and (being very choosy) it doesn't work on Samsung TVs. The casting from a phone is hit and miss as well. Part of the appeal of Netflix was the ease of use. If I struggle to play something I want to watch or can't cast it to my TV, then it misses the point.
