vs DUMB

DUMB runs a media stack. StreamBridge is one app.

DUMB (Debrid Unlimited Media Bridge) is a Docker image for a complete automated media server, covering debrid and Usenet, Sonarr and Radarr, media servers and request tools. StreamBridge does one part of that: it puts the movies and shows you pick into Plex, from a Mac.

What DUMB is

DUMB bundles a whole media server setup into one container. It can combine Zurg, Riven, CLI-Debrid, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, request apps, PostgreSQL, Traefik, cloudflared and more. You pick the parts you want, and DUMB gives you a dashboard and a guided setup.

Where they overlap

Both make debrid media show up in Plex as ordinary library files. DUMB does it as part of a larger automated stack. StreamBridge does it directly: you browse catalogs, pick a title, and it appears in the Plex server you already have.

The cost of a stack

With DUMB you run Docker, service ports, volumes, possibly a reverse proxy, the media server and your automation tools. That's fine if you enjoy running it. It's a lot if you only want Plex to play the movie you just picked.

What StreamBridge does instead

StreamBridge is one Mac app. Connect Plex, add your Real-Debrid key, browse Stremio catalogs and pick what you want. There's no NAS, no dashboard and no stack to maintain. How it works →

How much is automated

DUMB suits you if you want requests, indexers and quality profiles to fill a library on their own. StreamBridge automates less: catalogs you follow update themselves, your Plex Watchlist fills itself, and you pick everything else. The app takes care of the mount, stream choice, cache and Plex details.

So, which one

If you already run a home server and want a configurable all-in-one platform, choose DUMB. If you have a Mac and a Plex server and want debrid movies in Plex with little setup, StreamBridge is the simpler option.
