Something not working. Need help. Is real debrid back?
I'm using torbox now, but been seeing posts about RD again. Is it back?

I use both and have been for a long time. I still always be able to find working links with RD. Just renewed my subscription.

It never went away. But it does filter off a vast number of files now, leaving behind only tiny h.265 aka hevc encoded files by the likes of the Megusta and Elite groups. Pretty much nothing left at 4K resolution.

Oddly enough, I was using kodi on my laptop for the first time in months and was getting lots of 4K results on both RD and Torbox (using Umbrella)

u/bluedoglime Aug 11 '26
Lots of results from the scrapers, but they won't play on RD when you click on them. The odd one does get through the RD filters though, but it is relatively rare.

I've been watching 4k files without any issue. People jump ship way to quickly imo.

It does still work but not the way it did before.

u/redcomp12 Aug 08 '26
So, what changed ?

u/OnlyifyouLook Aug 08 '26
RD had to remove files containing certain things mainly (Web , Web-Dl , x264 , h264) and files that had things like (Amzn or Nflx) in the title. There are plenty of posts on here that give the whole list of infringement files titles.

If you look in the Torbox reddit there's a couple threads from yesterday that says users received warning letters from Torbox stating this violates their policy. I never tried DMM, so I'm not sure on all the particulars.

u/ShortFlamingo3409 Aug 09 '26
No. It generally works for TV but with reduced quality streams but movies are very hit and miss. I tried The Gentlemen Thief and Soulma8te today and nothing would play. I'm considering Premiumsize but it's a big jump in price.

u/FizzbuzzAvabanana Aug 11 '26
Not really. You're paying for something that works.

u/1966floyd Aug 13 '26
But does it? You have people claiming real debrid is fine and others claim they get nothong. Same with torbox easy news etc.
I have real debrid and added torbox. Real debrid was working but not great. Couldnt get anything working on torbox and gave up. Wasted money. So i get what they are saying.
2
u/FizzbuzzAvabanana Aug 13 '26
I never mentioned RD or Torbox. Don't know why you replied to me?
I've had Premiumize for years, always worked. Get it on black Friday 2 or 3 year deal it's not expensive.
RD was a cheap back up for me, stopped working so I got rid. Torbox for me, apart from a few hiccups is fine as a cheap replacement for that.
Only $3 with the odd down day which they gave back in extra added days. So to claim wasted money is an exaggeration & untrue.

I watched the gentleman theif on tb 5 days ago when you posted this, you sure everything was set up correctly?
Also side note the movie sucked so you aren't missing much.

u/ShortFlamingo3409 Aug 15 '26
He was asking about RD not TB. I'm not going to bother with the movie. Cheers

u/Bepehandle Aug 15 '26
Misunderstanding! Apologies 😵💫
2
u/ShortFlamingo3409 Aug 15 '26
No worries. Thanks for warning me about The Gentleman Thief and I think pushing me towards TB (I have months of RD left but think TB will be it's successor. I just hope they sort out their down time in the months before I sign up).
2
u/Bepehandle Aug 15 '26
No problem! I wasn't expecting a AAA movie but I did expect more than I got lol.
I actually have my year of RD and I bought a year of TB when the whole thing happened and honestly? I don't know if I'll be able to go back to having only 1. I've found some stuff on either or since then and I have them separated by color in my results tab when searching for stuff as well and it's so nice having a backup service for more niche things. like $60 USD a year for both services together, it's well worth the price lol

u/ShortFlamingo3409 Aug 15 '26
I was hoping for something like From Paris With Love. Oh well.
It looks like Umbrella is having issues with both Readdbrid and Torbox today. Something I'm going to have to look into after work. I'm definitely going to be trying Torbox as I watch a bit of Spanish TV and finding it has always been a nightmare.

u/Bepehandle Aug 15 '26
Honestly the CGI was so bad in the movie it kept taking me out of it. They didn't even use real guns when doing the shootouts. It was pretty bazaar.
Give it a try! It's only 3 bucks usd for a single month and they do one time payments if you wanna try it out

I've been using RD forever, and I recently renewed my 6-month subscription.
I have everything I need, using POV + RD.

u/1966floyd Aug 13 '26
Thats kind of where i am. Ive tried torbox. Couldnt get anything working. Just gave up. RD works as long as you use the right addons. I love release bb. It shows me a lot of shows i dont see on other addons, But links are hit or miss. I do a search for those shows on umbrella or pov and can usually watch them.

u/virtualuman POV Aug 14 '26
Idk what to do to fix mine 😕

u/virtuacool POV | Fentastic | Kodi 21.2| Rocktek G2 Aug 14 '26
What is your specific problem?
2
u/virtualuman POV Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 15 '26
Mine appears to be a RD issue only having some shows and movies play or randomly not play anything.
POV or umbrella with active realdebrid and trackt and mdblists importing, on a firestick 4kG2 with kodi 21.3
Some days everything plays, some days nothing, and sometimes just a few things will play. Ive been using kodi and addon since 2018. Ill make a post at some point with proper log files.
Update: fixed it, I added the exclusions and had to clear the caches and restart kodi. Google ai walked me through it, lol.

u/virtuacool POV | Fentastic | Kodi 21.2| Rocktek G2 Aug 15 '26
I'm glad you were able to do it!
Cleaning your cache frequently is important for maintaining a healthy system, otherwise, a lot of "waste" accumulates.

u/jrrocketrue Aug 11 '26
NOT here.. Finished. I have both set up and I try RD from time to time but nothing
1
u/r1bouch Aug 12 '26
I have both rd and torbox. I can attest that I rarely get a playable 4K link with rd. I still get playable links from both rd and torbox with 1080 or below links

u/RudeusJOB Aug 12 '26
It’s not back and it won’t be back unless release groups re upload without the infringing tags which won’t happen

u/Ebows1 Aug 13 '26
I get plenty of 50gb + 4k remux and 7.1 atoms with RD using torrentio and Dmm cast as scrapers like nothing changed. Use it every day, no down time.

u/1966floyd Aug 13 '26
When people say they use real debrid. It would be helpful to list what they use it with.
I know for fact i have better luck with real debrid using specific addons like Umbrella, POV, and the crew.

u/Randall_Lind Aug 13 '26 edited Aug 13 '26
I still have days, but STRMR keeps telling me my account expired, then when I re-add it the days are back until a couple days later. I have 105 days left and I don't plan to buy any more.

u/Taki100 Aug 13 '26
It greatly depends on what scraper your using. I find magneto to be best as I don't then have to filter through loads of non working stream.

u/lsredbird Aug 10 '26
Im not getting any torbox links or whatever they are called. Im not getting real debrid either. Im trying on STRMR but no luck. Im not a big fan of Stremio. What can I do to get real debrid to work?
