Is this debrid service seen as still viable to use?
I would say no, sadly, as it used to be great. Since they started blocking the majority of video file identifiers, it’s become a bit of a bust.
I switched to Premiumize for my Stremio addons and have not been impressed (about half of the streams work). The alternative would appear to be Torbox but I’m holding off until things stabilize.
Just a little for expensive on a monthly basis. Thanks for your input.
Not that expensive if you just need the essential plan. About $3/mth. That’s about the price of a cup of coffee per month. Very inexpensive considering you can share it with your whole family for no extra charge. Cache DB growing every month.
I use Premiumize with Kodi and have not had any problems getting any streams to play. Every one of the ones I have chosen to play, always play. Not sure why only half the ones you choose won’t play. Maybe it is a Streamio problem and not a Premiumize problem.

Idk, I’m still using Real Debrid and for most of the popular movies and shows, I can find a stream to work. I haven’t received any error messages, but I have noted that it cycles through quite a few streams before it finds one that plays.
Same for me ,it shows many 4k streams but rarely plays them.frustrating at times
Don’t know either. This only started happening about 6 months ago and has got progressively worse with time. Previous 5 years were perfect (with RD)
Torbox, trakt, stremio, kodi…no problems. Running a P6. RD for years. Loved it until I didn’t. No more.
It seems like all avenues of streaming for us cord cutters are getting more difficult to use every day. We seem to have more hoops to jump through daily. From Streamio, Kodi, RD, Torbox, Premiumize, IPTV services, APKS, etc; they all seem to be getting more difficult to navigate and use all the time. We as cord cutters just need to keep up with the changes and work arounds to keep moving on. I guess it is the price we pay for what we want to watch without buckling under to the corporate pressure and paying through the nose to watch shows, movies, and sports. I, for one, am in for the duration. I am very thankful to Troy and this website which has helped me navigate through all the hoops and work arounds. THANK YOU TROY!!
And I am on the opposite end of this. Started using KODI in 2016 and stuff back then would break all the time. It was hard but I stuck with it not because I like to tinker but because I was like I can get all the VOD I want. Was amazed. Then picked up IPTV about 4-5 years ago and have 2 reliable IPTV services that work great for Live TV and one of them has about 90% of the VOD content I watch so using KODI much less these days. Used RD for years and when it glitched switched to Torbox which is just as good or better. I’m not one who tinkers or like to try the latest shiny object. I find what I need and a backup and only when something breaks do I move on. But I agree ya gotta keep up and this is a great place to stay informed.
Yeah, I used Kodi from around 2015 on, mainly because there was nothing else at the time (remember the “Genesis” addon)? I used Terrarium for a short time and then Stremio and have been using that as my main app ever since. I had Cinema, BeeTV and Filmplus as backups, but they’ve all pretty much gone by the wayside. Cinema HQ, Mobiflix and Streamfflix are my current backups and I still have Kodi with POV and Umbrella if I’m desperate!
Would u mind sharing which iptv service you use that is vod? Been looking for a good one. Tnx
My Main service is invite only I do not give that out under any circumstances. My Backup is very good, several here have it but cannot post that here as this is not the locked IPTV services thread that only Patrons can access so unfortunately I cannot help you here
I am not having any issues with Real Debrid and I use it a lot. Good luck with yours as I am a big fan of it and Kodi. Hopefully I will continue to use it as I always have,
