I just downloaded stremio and added torrentio to it for my sister. Now I've never used stremio myself. Is there any potential issue of doing so without db?

The only issue I had before adding DB to Streamio was sometimes the streams would lag. Once I got DB on there I never had that problem. But obviously that's also dependent on other factors like how fast your connection is and how many seeds the torrent have. So you could be just fine without DB. But if you do have issues, I can definitely recommend adding it, especially since it's so cheap.

Depending on where you live. It could be a issue that without db you're just straight up torrenting and may need a VPN to keep from getting copyright notices. Also it will probably buffer a lot without having the db cache.
