Following a formal notice from the FNEF (https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures. As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents. In the coming hours: - audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked. - a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually. - a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court - a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria - the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility - a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable

    Bummer, I renewed my subscription for 6 months just two days ago.

    I guess this’ll finally be an excuse for me to setup Jellyfin and the arr-stack. I really don’t mind too much (honestly I’d be fine just downloading torrents manually for whatever I want to watch) but my roommates really appreciated how easy to use Stremio is.

        You should probably try to get your money back via chargeback. This service is basically useless at this point, so might as well get money back better spent on something else if you still can. Worst they do is ban you from the service, a service they have already made not worth it anymore.

          Eh, I won’t die over 20$, it’s due to something out of their control that anyone could have seen coming, and I’ve been quite the satisfied customer since I’ve been using Real-Debrid. I wouldn’t judge anyone for doing a chargeback, but I personally don’t really feel the urge to do so.

            That is true, $20 isn’t much in this day and age. It’s not something you’re going to die over or be in trouble without. I would still do it mainly out of principle since I’d rather not help them along with one more payment like that. Of course I haven’t ever signed up for them, and I obviously never intend to now.

        A VPN is the only bit you’d pay for, alongside the inevitable mass of HDDs to store everything on once you get addicted to just keeping everything forever in your own personal Netflix.

        They’re not services per se, but are a stack of software that you can kinda “clump” together for the lack of a better word.

        For instance I started using qbittorrent client recently instead of Transmission that I was using before as my torrent client because I can’t find a way for Transmission to not download malware, and you can also do the very same with the indexer clients such as Jackett or Prowlarr which then talk to other software such as Radarr/Sonarr via API keys and is usually where most get caught out.

        Read the docs, get thoroughly confused, and probably do it in docker too as everyone says if your hardware is sufficient.
