MODERATORS
 

In light of recent events regarding RealDebrid we do not recommend people use addons powered by RealDebrid for their Kodi library, and we strongly do not recommend that people pay for RealDebrid service.

You may still promote these addons in the community, there is no ban on promotion of usage of these addons. They are simply not recommended as they likely will not last or remain functional for very long.

What is forbidden is encouraging others to pay for RealDebrid without making this fact clear to people, as many people may not have heard the news and would waste their money on something that may not work for the next few months.

It should be noted that snarkiness or rude comments towards users who wish to not pay for RD due to this or any other concerns are considered uncivil behavior and violate rule 1 of the community rules.

Link to what's going on?

Long time realdebrid user, currently using Fen lite, what's a good alternative to realdebrid?

Also just found out this community is on Lemmy now ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‚

There are a few posts on !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com but the gist of it is that RealDebrid is based in France and they got hit with an order to crack down on infringing content, they also ended up torching their API so the service is now useless for all Kodi addons which use it. Some of which are hardcoded to it.

[โ€“] Qkall@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Torbox seems to be the big recommend...

[โ€“] pirtedad@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not compatible with Fen light, I went with All debrid, seems to be working well.

Side note, Just read that the fen light dev quit apparently.

[โ€“] Qkall@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

right after he fixed the RD issues... umbrella dev putting torbox support in

Umbrella seems to be a long time consistant addon. I just switched from Fen Light to it.

Me still using Premiumize ๐Ÿฅน

[โ€“] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, with the API removal, it's pretty much useless for kodi at all.

Worst thing is that some addons had the Debrid service locked to use RealDebrid, so now those are effectively all broken. Many of their Devs and community members of the OG addons community insisted it would never happen and that people were being too paranoid.

Bought 7 Days of All Debrid. Seems fine so far.

[โ€“] gila@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alldebrid is also based in France, so will likely get the same notice as RD. It remains to be seen whether they'd comply like RD has, but FNEF has taken filehosts to court before. RD arent naive to the fact their actions have completely hamstrung their business

[โ€“] soycapitan451@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yep it's down. Only paid for the week version, so no big loss. Going to investigate torbox and premiumize tonight

[โ€“] gila@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'm on premiumize, which is probably the most expensive option. But they don't restrict the number of devices, simultaneous access etc, which made it worth it for me since I share access with family (side note: I've done the same with RD long-term without much issue, just got a temp warning once).

I think Torbox will be the best option for most, but have only read into it without trying it. Premiumize torrenting seems faster than RD, but filehosters seem slower.

[โ€“] sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting. I was having issues with Fen Light and RealDebrid, read that Fen Light is no longer recieving updates and figured that's the issue, switched to Umbrella with RealDebrid and everything started working fine again. Maybe my experience will degrade again soon.

I'll look into this Torbox and if I remember right Premiumize didn't allow a Privacy card.

[โ€“] Drewski@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Premiumize does allow crypto payments though.
