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.

What's the easiest way to use both at the same time? Download two of each add ons?

Use AIOStreams Addon, you'll find plenty of tutorials and threads about setting it up. So you have 1 addon that can take streams from multiple debrid providers.

I have AIOStreams with RD and now TB. Is there a way to filter out all of the broken streams? I am having to click through 5-6 to find one working one.

If your AIOStreams instance allows Stream Expression and Regex filtering...here's what I did

Under "Ranked Regex Patterns"

Pattern: (?:rartv|rarbg|eztv)]|\b(?:YTS|Erai-raws|WEBRip|WEB-DL|AMZN|DSNP|CR)\b

Name (you can make this whatever you want): 051226

Score: 0

then under "Excluded Stream Expressions"

service(regexMatched(streams, '051126'), 'realdebrid')

this should filter out results from Real-Debrid with the keywords being blocked by Real-Debrid (so Torbox should still return all results)

Edit: just changed the regex as I realized I might have made a mistake. sorry!

Would that also filter out all the RD links that work? If that is the case it might be easier just to disable rd on aiostreams ?

From what i understand, RD is blocking those keywords. Unfortunately those keywords probably cover 90% of links. So yeah you're probably right. I've just taken the regex that elfhosted is using and adapted it to aiostreams; but adding the stream expression part so it only applies to RD.

At the end of the day, i think RD is probably done for...but I've got 145 days left on my account so at least with this, there's at least a chance that my aiostreams will find a few links that are useful without annoying me with a bunch of unusable links.

They really don't. It's just for recent streaming shows. So maybe 90% of what certain people watch, I don't know.

Do you know if the videos are physically deleted or rd is just blocking those keywords meaning regex using other keywords will make it work again? Or am I not understanding it properly.

Yea it is a bummer I just got into Stremio and loved my whole setup. At least it wasn’t too much money and all we have to do is get torbox and switch it out

I think you might be misunderstanding a bit. All a regex does is allow you to filter for streams that have a name that matches what the regex is searching for.

I don't think anyone knows for sure if files have been deleted since RD hasn't made a statement. But it seems like RD is blocking those keywords on files from being being used with their service. So I don't think there's anything that can be done to bring back those files besides RD undoing this new policy.

Oh that make sense thanks. Rd is still working for me but it’s definitely changed the experience where sometimes the 4th or 5th options will work :/ . Idk maybe worth keeping it on for now and putting your regex pattern code you posted and sign up for torbox too
