Real-Debrid, a popular streaming and download service, has started returning copyright-infringement errors on many cached torrents. The renewed crackdown began days after a corporate restructuring. A third-party source says that long-time subscribers have lost 50 to 70 percent of their libraries overnight, with the filter targeting popular keywords such as WEB-DL, AMZN, and [RARBG].
Not really what you’re asking but if you google “free media heck ya” the top link should be a .net website. I use this to find what I’m looking for.
My main need is a drop-in replacement for Real-Debrid for Stremio for relatives to use; compared to other options, it’s one of closest options to Netflix levels of usability on a smart TV.
FMHY recommends Torbox, which also seemed to be the consensus of a Reddit thread I checked. It probably doesn’t have quite as big of a library of cached content as Real-Debrid, but I’ve noticed specific shows and movies getting removed from the service already, so a switch is probably needed soon.
Premiumize is also commonly recommended, though its higher cost in exchange for also having Usenet functionality doesn’t seem to be worth it when Usenet providers like Eweka have better retention.
I selfhost Plex and the *arr’s with out much complaint. Symmetrical 1Gbps and 48TB space. Aside from some old content I’ve been able to get anything my family requests.
Back in the day I had a satellite dish that auto downloaded the encryption keys every couple months and I had full access to a lot of TV… I REALLY want to set something like this up again, and I did some research. It seems the keys roll every 7 seconds now and you need someone with an active subscription who has a low latency server for you to poll. I haven’t looked into it much beyond that. I know IPTV is the big thing now but I’ve never really got Into it.
