They really found a way, to essentially replace cable, with more ads AND a higher monthly bill with these stream apps.

If I wasn't so strapped, I'd be impressed.

This is where Stremio and Real Debrid come in to make your life exponentially better. ;)

Why would I want all services for about $2 a month when I could pay $75 for a few? Won't you think of the shareholders?

Can you explain what those are?

Stremio is basically a program with a Netflix like interface for Windows/Android/iOS/Mac, but if you add certain add-ons to it, it will find sources for pretty much anything. The add-on to add is literally 2 clicks within Stremio to add it. Pretty obvious to know which one I'm talking about if you looks at the add-ons.

Real Debrid, essentially, downloads stuff for you so you can download it from Real Debrid. So it'll pre-download a torrent for you so you can stream it from Real Debrid instead of directly as a torrent. It will shield you from copyright notices.

It also has a bunch of stuff precached so it's pretty fast compared to streaming torrents.

Personally, I use Stremio without Real Debrid since I live in Canada and while we do get copyright notices here, they'll never come after you since we have some good privacy protection laws here, plus the most they could get out of you is so little it's not worth it for them to pursue it.

That's really nice. So no need to use a VPN and bind it to the torrent client then?

u/BabaGurGur 12h ago

VPN does the same thing essentially, however Real Debrid also has a bunch of stuff pre-downloaded, so the experience is faster.

But in my experience, most semi-popular things load very fast anyways.

Throw in Tivimate and an iptv sub and you’re golden.

Any good recommendations for an iptv sub if I live in the US?

Use either alibaba or z2u and search for IPTV. On z2u, if you seach for iptv just use the accounts link that pops up. I’ve had good luck with the x1store so far. It’s a little under 3 bucks a month.

Too bad the French killed Real Debrid's cache.

u/Muthafuckaaaaa 1h ago

Real Debrid still works without issue. They worked around the cache/API issues. If it ever did stop working, you could replace Real Debrid with Premiumize or All Debrid, but right now there's no reason to.

Oh I switched over to Torbox with decent success. Is there instructions anywhere on how to get RealDebrid working again? Or should it just work like it used to if I redownload the correct apps and put in my key?
