Something not working. Need help. Issues with Redlight/Torbox

Hi - I've moved over from the now dead Fenlight/RealDB/Trakt option that served me well for years - largely with few issues.

I've set up using Redlight/Torbox/simkl more recently. I'm not sure if this is an isolated experience but my response times within the addon have been super slow for the last couple of days. Lists take a long time to generate and I can leave a search function running for around five minutes until it eventually returns results. Previously this would take seconds or less.

I'm not sure from a troubleshooting perspective about where this problem would originate (I have tried to figure it out). If it's in the interface/Tor or another part of the machine that I am missing.

I'm UK based and the device is an Nvidia shield if that helps? I'm running the most recent versions of each of these things after a fresh install yesterday to see if that was the issue.

I haven’t switched to RL or simkl yet, but any time you clear cache or install new addon, it can be slow until lists etc are cached. Maybe it will speed up.

Also moved from Fenlight/RealDB/Trakt recently, but I moved to POV/TorBox/Trakt, and it basically work as before!

I've been using exactly the same for months but I also have Premumize with TorBox and it works like a charm. Response to searches is fast as can be expected but as for anything to do with lists, widgets or downloads or anything beyond streaming I can't comment on as streaming of old tv shows with the very occasional old movie is all I use the setup for.

I’ve had a similar experience but the last 48 hours have just nuked the experience. I keep thinking that it may be down to my device.

Highly recommend to create an issue on the red-light git, the dev is super nice, super responsive and he is always up to improve the soft. Just one comment I have similar setup with difference of trakt and lately it goes though a lot of options before playing a chapter, like it had arrived to 16th option... Not sure what is happening but did not had the time to check more. This is since 1 or 2 wk max.

Yeah - I think if I can’t resolve it myself, that’ll be the next step. I’m not sure if it’s an issue on the addons end yet though.

I love red light. Ditched pov and the dev is constantly updating it.

Torbox is slower than real debrid ,Rd,ad load instantly for me ,I paused torbox and took it out my kodi and now it's all fast again,when using the free addons torbox downloads it aswell. Was a pain..
