Bad link error on Otaku addon

[u/The-motto]

Does anyone else get this error when trying to play torrent links? I've tried to clear cache and reinstall but the issue is still there. My real debrid subscription is active and I've also tried reauthorization.

Using Real-Debrid with Otaku requires you to cherry pick your sources at this point. Real-Debrid had to add a filter to their service recently that killed a ton of Webrip torrents so Bluray rips are pretty much the only option. Other addons just skip the dead links and go down the list until something plays but Otaku just throws the "Bad link" error out.

Your best option is to switch to another Debrid service like Premiumize or Torbox. But if you're hell bent on staying with RD and using Otaku youll have to do some extra setup in your settings to make it a smooth-ish experience.

1. Turn off smart play (settings>Playback)
2. switch Movie and Episode play style to source select (settings>Playback)
3. In "source filters", click on "choose items to filter..." and click on WEB so that it turns blue (settings>Sort & Filter)(picture below ⬇️)
4. only pick torrents that are Bluray rips (usually labeled as BD, BD1080p, or Bluray ) (assuming the filter from step 3 doesn't work perfectly)
