Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, says it's implementing far-reaching anti-piracy measures, including hash and keyword filters, in response to a notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors. The API and instantAvailability feature are set for deactivation too, while content from "notorious" pirate sites will be blocked.

...well shit. What now?

Edit - I just saw some kodi devs suggesting torbox. Looks like accounts can be shared and the top offering has Usenet built in. No add-ons support yet... But eventually it looks like umbrella will support it.

We are experiencing an influx of new subscribers

Torbox website atm

I still have 2 months left on my account. I'll wait and see what happens in the next few weeks.

Yeah I'm curious if cocoscrapers with the torrent search enabled will make this a non issue... But the website scraper was kinda great to have. I'm a bit shocked but honestly am surprised we haven't heard more scrutiny on them ..

Edit - or is it time to start paying for orionoid

[-] rotkehle@feddit.org 2 points 10 hours ago

is orionoid any good?

[-] Qkall@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

So i find it a great search engine and supplement, but the free version was always sufficient. This might change things... might... it's hard to know what's going to happen... but the API thing is huge.

Few weeks, lol, RD links already disappeared from my Kodi add-ons

[-] Engywuck@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Indeed. It already disappeared. Oh, well, subbed AD for a month, now. Let's see how long it lasts.

[-] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

there's other options like all debrid

[-] antipiratgruppen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

Which is French too, and will probably go the same way as RD sooner rather than later...

[-] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

OH right

After seeing this post, I tried streaming the newest episode of Silo and found it wasn't working in my addon (which uses a4kscrapers).

My mother tried streaming Slow Horses (using same addon) after I told her and she said it worked fine. I guess it had already been cached and was therefore unaffected since the file I streamed was only released today.

Anyway I luckily only had 8 days left of RD, so I subscribed to Premiumize and it only took a minute to reconfigure the addon to use that instead.
