I think to most people asking how this works, the answer is, you connect it to AllDebrid/RealDebrid paid accounts, and that's the contents you stream. Hence it's a streamer system for a paid service. I think this is the most important clarification needed here.
So it's like Seren, but for Android instead of Kodi, and with a mandatory server part?
For the folks confusing this with an alternative to Jellyfin or Plex, I believe this project is more meant to be akin to Stremio, but self-hosted.
Whats the main difference with Jellyfin?
This only works with a paid pirate service.
how does it compare to something like jellyfin (or Plex, despite not being FOSS it'd be unfair not to mention them)?
It doesn't. It's nothing like any of these two. They provide local media content, Odin on the other hand streams media directly provided by the debrid service.
So, no downloading and hoarding involved.
So it’s like a torrent streaming service?

Can this play back my local media collection or is it just a debrid proxy frontend?
no local media collection.
Well that's disappointing
I know, right? I too wanted to watch your local media!
So are you leaching and not seeding?
Been thinking about swapping away from Plex when I move to New hardware later this month
If I'm reading all this right sounds like Overseerr and Plex both can be replaced with this, as well as a unified app for the two?
If so I'm def getting this installed and testing it out this weekend, my goal for a while has been to get the rest of my family into my streaming ecosystem but having to use 2 whole apps (Plex and Overseerr on a website) is enough to scare them away despite using 6 apps currently

I don't use the arr-suite myself, but I think you're on point. Since It doesn't download anything, and gets the streams directly from RD or AD, there's no need for overseer.
You .ight be careful though, because RD doesn't allow using their service from multiple locations at the same time (whatever thsat means)
What is RD and AD?
RealDebrid and AllDebrid
Are you planning on adding support for Premiuimize and Torbox? A lot of people just left Real Debrid (and all other French hosted services) due to France kicking down on piracy. Real Debrid just recently announced they would start to block piracy related content at least.
Interesting. Will have to take a look at it later. I currently use Jellyfin and don't have many issues. The only thing that might be a pain point is tuner support. I didn't see anything mentioned. But looks nice otherwise. And intrigued to see its largely in Go.
Is it possible to self host a debrid?
Nice!
Is there any way this could be modified for indie musicians to move away from bigTech? FOSS Spotify alternative with bitcoin ?
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
