For those of us hit by the recent announcement here is a graph I found with some other services worth checking for your next voyages. I have crossed out All-Debrid too as that is also hosted in France and is bound to be hit by the same hammer as Real-Debrid was.

Feel free to share your alternative solutions in the comments below, but always do you research carefully!

The graph shows which Debrid services are supported by each addon for Stremio. Torbox seems to be a new popular and modern alternative. If anyone has any experience with any of the listed services then feel free to share your experiences in the comments.

Edit: Debrid-Link is also French!

Out of the loop here, what happened to real debrid? Its the most useful piracy tool i have used in years.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 18 points 3 months ago

In short: it's gone "full legal" mode. Blocking most used streaming sites and removed their API access. So it's literally unusable for folks sailing the high seas.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

Yeah, very disappointing, luckily, the downloader still works semi-reliably for software. I only have 21 days left anyway.

What are some non-piracy use cases for real-debrid?

[-] blad314@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 months ago

Distributing Linux ISOs

[-] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Why would someone pay for RD for that instead of just using the torrent there directly or the direct download from the servers? I don't know it seems like overkill to use a debrid service for something like that.

None

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

Afaik: Non.
Personal projects?

[-] Skoll@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Trying out TorBox as I write this. Has some cool features and it looks like a lot of people from RD are hopping over to it. New servers are arriving Monday for the huge amount of new users. And it's also quite cheap. There's a black friday sale going on right now too.

[-] tiredowl2020@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Having lived in France for 2 years i can say that the bureaucracy there is out of control. Paperwork upon paperwork upon paperwork to get ANYTHING done. That said, any formal notice probably took years to draft and send, and then the debrid folks probably can drag their heels for years. I'm personally not jumping ship quite yet but i'll pay month to month and wait it out.

[-] 01011@monero.town 5 points 2 months ago

Sounds like most countries in western Europe. Germany being the worst.

[-] Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't say that Germany is the worst.

Because my request to do so is pending since '09.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Kinda related, it seems that the Fen Light addon creator also says goodbye to the Kodi scene... It seems like a big day for streaming piracy.

[-] noride@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

I was able to fully switch to Prem this morning in < 15 minutes fwiw.

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

Any idea how this affects those of us who only use it for random stuff where torrents are too slow or to bypass Rapidshare speed limits?

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

Not sure tbh. Guess it depends what you are downloading and if you are using their service directly and not through their API. They will not block and ban people downloading stuff from their banned lists and their API can no longer be used.

It's better to switch Debrid Service to support someone willing to host a better service imo.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

How is Debrid-link? Its considerably cheaper than Premiumize

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Not sure myself, just went with one month of Premiumize to test that first. Will then try the rest too see which service suits me better.

Ah NVM... Debrid Link is also French.... https://debrid-link.com/legal

[-] WarmApplePieShrek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

The 2 and 3 year black friday deal (only this week!) for premiumize is cheap per month

[-] Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Me still using Premiumize.

Holiday Prepaid sale is live

~$3.86/month

w/36 month subscription

[-] rotkehle@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

debrid link is also hosted in France.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

What are these?

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Afaik a remote torrent client that you stream the media from.
Something like a cross between a seedbox and a media cloud. Then you either implement it somehow into your media streamer like Jellyfin/Plex or a browser.

[-] Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

This is why I just pay a small fee for access to a Plex/emby server.

[-] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lot of idiots fell for the panic. Haven't heard a peep form the people claiming RD is gonna be dead anytime now lmao

[-] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just a reminder that RD still works lol

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Are you saying they didn't follow through (yet) with what they stated they would back in November?

[-] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm saying RD still works lol despite the big red x in the chart.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not a debrid guy myself. But glad it's still working ok for you.

[-] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks! Its sad OP won't make a correction so I have to come back and update for them.

They were very rude when they thought they were right but not a peep now. Odd.

[-] Imprint9816@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 months ago
