I recently cancelled all streaming services I had.

I now use Plex / Jellyfin with Plex_Debrid & RealDebrid.

Ditto. I'm on Kodi / The Crew + Real Debrid. Such a pleasure to use.

What's realbird? Like a seed box?

~~Yep!~~

Correction. I guess it is a bit different than a seedbox (I've never used a seedbox)

Here is what I found online:

  • A Debrid service has support for multiple premium file hosts, while a Seedbox does not
  • A Debrid service, once it completes a torrent download, will stop seeding, while a Seedbox seeds a download forever until you stop it from seeding (hence the name).
  • Some Debrid services, such as Premiumize, can seed for a certain amount of time.
  • A Debrid service is usually cheaper than a Seedbox.

RealDebrid not only allows you to download but also stream directly from them. I use rclone to mount the drive to my media server and read the files with Plex/Jellyfin.

Ah ok so it's a bit different setup but basically like Plex + seedbox and + rr suite

Does this stream the torrent or does it steam just from my debris account?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It downloads the torrent and then streams from the service. That way your traffic is clean.

Yes! Plex_Debrid is the automation component that will go and add the torrents to RealDebrid based on your Watchlist in Plex. The Plex_Debrid Github has a step by step guide on setting each component up.

Do debrid services even seed back?

From what ive been reading it seems that they just don't.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's a great question. I believe it does based off the GUi info.
