After movie-web got taken down including all their github repositories, a fork called sudo-flix emerged.
Their links are:
- Github: https://github.com/sussy-code/smov
- Docs: https://docs.sudo-flix.lol/
- Instance: https://sudo-flix.lol
- List of instances: https://erynith.github.io/movie-web-instances/ & https://github.com/sussy-code/smov?tab=readme-ov-file#links-and-resources
From what I can tell, it’s a perfectly working fork. So go ahead and star, fork and host instances and code on other platforms!
- They need to self-host their repository if they don’t want to end up in the same situation… - No they don’t want to continue if they get dmca’d. There are real identitys tied to the Project. That’s the Problem. - But they are like cockroaches xD 
 
- Maybe we should bring that to OPs attention? Maybe go ahead and make a issue on the repository? 
 
- Why do they always keep using GitHub for this stuff?? - Super easy to get a napkin idea started. Then it picks up steam and suddenly it’s a million lines of code, with hundreds of users. And now it’s a big headache to migrate when shit just works as is in GitHub. - GitHub knows how their customers work. 
 
- Thanks for heads up. Geez haven’t the authorities got anything better to do? Like serial killers etc. Too much funding IMO lol 
- Its going to get replaced by run0-flix now - lmao, good one xd 
 
- I never understood how movie-web got so popular when services like FMovies exist. - It didn’t have Ads or Trackers. And it had more Movies 
- In my experience, watching series is much nicer with it staying in full screen the entire time 
 
- what’s the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn’t find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light? - It’s basically just a website that searches different providers for a file and then plays said file. It is safe to use without a VPN (though still better to use with a VPN for general safety measure) as its the same as watching youtube or whatever… Hope that helps :) - yes thank you!
