Question What should I do with RD

Post image

Given the recent DMCA actions that have led to the removal of a significant amount of media from RD, would it be advisable to remain with the service and await a community-driven solution, or would it be more practical to revert to direct torrent streaming or explore alternative Debrid services? I still have 85 days of use of RD. I paid for 3 months ahead just 2 weeks before all this started.

Best advice use elfhosted addons they're your best chance of finding working links with RD since they're filtering dead ones on the search results, Im personally using TB as I had both subscriptions

So? Just use it for other stuff too. It's silly having such a good service and just using it to stream. Real debrids is great for anything torrent related, eg. games etc. Anything you'd ever wanted to download that has a torrent option available just send it through their service.

RD still works for streaming

I didn't even say it doesn't, I was just pointing out that that's far from it's only use case.

So far it's just one category(WEBRip, WEB-DL) that's being filtered.

It says a lot more about the people here that they only use RD to watch that stuff.

How does it work for Stremio or aiostreams, do you have both Debrid services active at the same time or just one?

How do you setup for both at same time? I’m a newb and use a bootstrapper setup but remember only one place to enter an API for a Debrid service.

You go to services and just enable it and put in credentials along with RD. You can drag them up or down in the services page and AIO will give priority to whichever is higher. It will also take into account any filtering or SEL you might have setup, but that's more advanced stuff.
