I discovered real-debrid yesterday, thanks to this post.
I was playing around with it last night using kodi. I'm gonna try out stremio thanks to your suggestion.
That said - it didn't seem that reliable with kodi. Like I got through a whole movie but it just died once or twice. I ended up switching to another torrent / link and it played through to the end just fine.
I imagine this won't necessarily improve with the switch to stremio. Was I just unlucky? Or is this the usual experience?
edit: yeah ok you're right. kodi + real-debrid. great stuff.
I'd strongly advise not using debrid. With debrid you're leeching off torrents without ever seeding anything back. It's an abusive system. Not to mention it's usually not files of any level of quality.
That doesn't make any sense. The whole point of the debrid service is that it caches the torrent. When my client wants to stream the content, the debrid doesn't leech it from seeders it just pulls it from the cache.
The quality seems fine, for everything I've looked at thus far there's all the usual types of releases.
Sure you're pulling from the debrid service but debrid still hit and runs the torrent. Aside from one or two providers that seed for a day or something.
You can get unlucky on the odd occasion, theirs some torrents out there where the actual video file format isn't friendly with streaming, but RealDebrid itself has been 100% reliable, for me anyway. If your using stremio their are settings you can change to increase the cache size, or you can play around with using a different video player within stremio, but in general the default settings should do the job.
You got any good overviews of RealDebrid outside of “google.”
Not sure where to look for info, but I’ve been doing this for a looooooong time (25+ years?) and always like to learn more. Currently rocking a 125+ TB server hosted in my basement for all my Linux isos and figure there may be another way.
No worries if not! I’m not expecting a novel or anything from anyone personally - just hoping there’s a decent crash course and some decent suggestions.
The idea is essentially debrid services download the content of a torrent, and once one user has requested them, its stored and available for all other users to download, so no more dealing with Torrents with 0 seeders, at the speed of top grade file hosting services. You could use it for downloading content quicker and storing it on your local drives.
