This page explains all the different ways you can enable movie-web to stream your favorite movies & TV shows, each with their own pros and cons.
Method 1 - Self-hosted proxy
Self-hosting a proxy is an easy way to get good streaming speeds, we have a guide that explains how to set up one for free.
This method is recommended if you want to host a proxy for your friends and or family to use, as it is the fastest and most reliable way to stream media at the moment.
Once you follow the guide on how to set up a proxy, you can use the URL of your proxy in the client either by using the VITE_CORS_PROXY_URL variable if you're self-hosting or if you're using the main website, by going into the Settings, then scrolling all the way down to Connections and enabling the Use custom proxy workers option and entering your URL from earlier.
Method 2 - Public proxy
The public proxy is the easiest way to get started with movie-web as it is the default, it is hosted by us and is completely free to use.
If you are using the main website, then you are most likely already using the public proxy. This is not the case with self-hosted clients, there is no proxy set up by default on self-hosted clients and you will need to set up one yourself.
