What is the easy way to stream movies/series hosted on file hosting/sharing sites?

For streaming not-so-easily accessible media that I find only on file hosting sites, which often limit the speed and number of downloads, I unlock links with Alldebrid and stream them in VLC player. This is impossible for members of my family to do, especially on a TV (fire stick). Is there a way I can acquire the links and make...

cucumberbob,

If OP’s already using jellyfin/plex, alldebrid provides a webDAV server which you can mount with rclone. You can then make symlinks from that mount to your media library.

cucumberbob,

Other than being able to transcode, not really. You could probably instead set up a proxy for AD’s sftp/webDAV so only one connection/ip is active at a time

Sharing RealDebrid Account with Family?

Recently discovered the wonders of the stremio + real debrid + torrentio, works wonders on the newly bought Nvidia Shield Pro. However, I would like for the rest of the family to experinece the same, and completely get rid of all other streaming services. But… as the pirate I am, I started thinking about workarounds for only...

One way is to use rclone to mount your Real Debrid link onto your server and run plex/Jellyfin using the remote media. That way all your clients talk to the server, so you’ve only got one connection to RD

RDT-client implements the qBittirrent api so you can point radar/sonar at it, and it will make symlinks from your mount to a structured media directory

Plex_debrid is a python script which is a standalone method to get media onto RD. It can take requests from your plex watchlist or ombi/overseerr and will search trackers to grab the release. As plex is less fussy about the file structure of your media, you can just point plex straight at your mount.

Yep, those are 2 different ways to turn media requests from users into something oldx/jellyfin can use.

Might be worth noting that real debrid’s webDAV implementation (the protocol that lets you access the files in your mount) is a little funky, and might get very slow for large libraries (over 1k links), so itsToggle (author of plex_debrid) has a fork of rclone to fix this. There’s also a new project called zurg from the debrid-media-manager people, but it’s closed source, and the devs don’t intend on making it open source.

cucumberbob,

I use Alldebrid over WebDAV on infuse. The sync times can be incredibly long, opening the magnets folder of my WebDAV takes around 2 minutes with around 300 torrents - around 4k files. You only need to do this long syncing when your library changes, streaming is near instant.

cucumberbob,

What args have you passed to rclone? I found setting ‘—vfs-cache-mode full drastically improved streaming performance

cucumberbob,

Sorry maybe I’ve misunderstood your stack. The “typical” plex_debrid stack has the debrid mounted via WebDAV using rclone so plex/jellyfin/whatever can see the stuff on your debrid as though it was a local file, only downloading bits of each file as they’re requested.

The option I suggested lets rclone download to your disk as a cache, which I found mae the experience much smoother
