Best Real Debrid Alternatives for Reliable Streaming

But they still show unchecked and not in cache. Kodi add-ons will automatically try the next link if the link can’t be cached or is not in cache.
It happens in real time so you don’t see the links fail.
I use POV because I want to choose the link and not what I am given.
It’s the only addon that has the RD+ feature.
Kodifitzwell did right another add-on like CocoScrapers with the ability but scrapped it for some reason.
Pity really but just more work for free to maintain and they do have other add-ons to maintain.
I do have FenLAM and umbrella as backup and they are both great add-ons.

Not sure what your setup is but with Real Debrid and Umbrella they are always checked after watching by Trakt. As I said I play the first link at the top (4K or 1080P) and almost 100% of the time that is the link that is played. I’ve check while the show is playing to see if the the one I pick (always first at the top IMO no nee to manually select anything below it) is the same one an it is

And what the heck is RD+?

I am not talking about Trakt as that has nothing to do with RD’s cache.
No RD content is shown in cache now.
The api endpoint has changed for legal reasons.
That is how their api endpoint works now and that is why you see links marked unchecked not cached like they used to be.
It shows even link not cached on RD servers.
Meaning some of the results will not play and the add-on will try the next link on the results list until it finds one that is actually cached on the RD servers.
POV shows what is in cache because some indexers that I can’t name on here show RD+ cached content that is in that indexers swarm.
POV is the only Kodi add-on at the moment that has this feature.

Odd that you are having problems with your RD links, I use Umbrella and yes all my RD links show unchecked but the all play, I just tried 3 or 4 links and they all played. I never had it skip a RD link as they all played.

I am not having problems with RD links I just know that not every unchecked link will be in cache and it is dependent on content.
Popular newer content will have lots of working cached links.
I just use POV because the results it generates are definitely cached because it uses the RD+ feature and I can pick the link I want and it will play and not skip and play another link which is possible with unchecked RD links that you see in other Kodi add-ons

Stremio has the RD+ feature also.

I personally have given up on Cinema as it has become too frustrating to use. Real Debrid won’t even let me sign up and I’ve tried changing emails and my user name. All Debrid was also a no go. I’m really impressed with Movie HD.

How did you pay?

Are you asking how I pay for RD? If so with a personal credit card like I have been doing for at least 6 years now

I never used my CC before always used Bitcoin but can’t do that anymore. Thanks

@ElmerFudd, I recently used my Paypal personal prepaid debit card to pay for RD. I loaded $20 on the card and everything went through smoothly.
