I think that I'm completely done with Stremio

So I gave away my FS 4K to a friend when his 2nd gen FS crapped out.
I set him up with Stremio using my RD API key so that his wife could easily access movies that she wanted to see. Everything worked well for a few months.

THEN, yesterday he calls and says that he’s getting ‘no streams available, invalid REal Debrid code’. So I check it out at home, and sure enough, I get the same error. (My RD account is paid up through July, 2023.) I go to Torrentio’s settings & check the key…it matches what I entered a while ago. Again, I get the invalid key error.

At this point, I use my computer to log into my RD account and check my API key, and sure enough it’s been changed. OK, I think my problem is solved.

I go back to Stremio>torrentio>torrention’s settings & deleted the old key and then carefully typed the new key and hit “Enter”. STILL the invalid RD code error. I repeated the process, just in case I misplaced a character, but no joy. I’ve done the uninstall/reinstall dance with the app & torrentio and that doesn’t work either. I’m not interested in paying for Orion, so I’m done with Stremio for awhile unless there’s an easy fix.

I don’t think this is Stremio’s fault. I believe this has to do with RD and their regulations. Maybe IP Address restrictions or account sharing or such. I have RD in Stremio and have had it for a couple of years now without issue. Stremio though works perfectly without RD or premium service and for me finds a ton of sources.

I use Stremio daily WITHOUT RD and it works great. No anything debrid or trakt necessary. Just Torrentio.

You can’t share an RD account.

Yea, this has nothing to do with stremio. Its rd you cant share that. And its posted on their website. Please try to reaearch before hand. The fix is dont share your rd api key.

It looks like RD has blocked your account for sharing violation. You’ll probably have to set up an new account. Lets hope they haven’t blacklisted your IP address if you using a static IP, if you’re not on a static IP I’d suggest rebooting your router to get a new IP address before setting up a new account.

A few years ago I did read something that the original IP address has to stay the same for the account. If they see a different IP show up then they will think it is being shared and they don’t like that. This happened to me when I was trying to set up a box for a firnd and used my RD log in to get things going until he could activate his new account. I got an immediate response from them telling me this was a no-no.

I didn’t get any notice; I’m not gonna stress over it. The RD links still are working well using my current favorite Kodi addon.

I use my RD account from multiple IP addresses (locations) but not at the same time - that’s where you violate their rule and maybe get blocked. Stremio works without RD but you need a VPN as they are pretty much all Torrent files.
