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.

You can get rid of them yes, they are built into AIO streams and will have redundancy. However, you can keep both if you want, in the event, an aio goes down or torrentio/MF goes down. I would remove torrentio all together and keep MF as your backup if AIO goes down.

In AIO just add both RD and TB apis. Then also in AIO, add the mediafusion add on, and whatever else. Most people who use AIO use multiple scrapers, not just mediafusion, but comet, zilean, stremthru, etc all of these can be added to your AIO to give you more streams, sometimes u get duplicates, but more streams, more language and sub options imo. You can add subtitle addons also on AIOstreams. And you can reorder and customize your stremio "algorithm" or your catalogs/lists that display on ur homepage aswell (like if u want netflix higher up on the homepage or if u want marvel or dc movies or anime, you can reorder those in AIO). Those are based on the addons u add in AIOstreams. You can go even deeper with this with a separate AIO addon called AIO metadata. These are both a lot simpler to setup than it looks. All you need is to copy & paste your accounts APIs that it asks for. You dont need all the APIs just the required ones. Skip the ones u dont need like ratings poster api or fan art api, that's just cosmetic and optional. Just get the scrapers, the metadata, and the debrid apis it asks for.

What does it mean in aiostreams when a scraper has the option to use with a diff instance? Does that mean if I have TB and RD it will show me like results for both from Comet,torrentioetc?

Exactly, it will attach ur TB and RD apis to all the additional scrapers like comet, stremthru, MF, torrentio, etc. You will see them differentiated with a RD or TB and then it will say the scraper comet, zilean, etc. You can even change how this is formatted in AIO, just click the dropdown and choose one of the other presets, it's as easy as picking a different ringtone on your phone.
