UPDATE: 11-26-2024: Depending on the addon, there have been updates to solve the issues, so if you are having a problem be sure to update.
The service Real Debrid is currently not working and having issues.
They have posted on their social media account X that this is due to a strengthening its anti-piracy measures.
Following a formal notice from the FNEF (“https://fnef.fr/les-adherents/”), Real-Debrid is strengthening its anti-piracy measures.
As you already know, we actively comply with DMCA and are already blocking a certain number of infringing torrents.
In the coming hours:
– audiovisual files available on a number of cyberlockers listed on the USTR blacklist or listed in the European “CCounterfeit and Piracy Watch List” will all be blocked.
– a filtering by file name will also be applied, in accordance with the request of the FNEF, this may unfortunately lead to false positives that we will process manually.
– a blocking of all torrents hashes of private torrent trackers mentioned in cases at the Paris judicial court
– a complete purge of files potentially cached on the previously mentioned criteria
– the deactivation of the API endpoint /instantAvaibility
– a blocking of counterfeit Kodi / Stremio applications to the extent that they are identifiable
In response to this notice Real Debrid has tightened its anti-piracy measures, which will cause issues with the service.
There are reports they are issuing refunds even if the service has already been used and it is after the 14-day trial period.
If you do want a refund open a ticket in the help support section to get the process started and find out more information.
There are also many workarounds posted on social media, such as Reddit, on how to get Real Debrid working again.
How well and for how long the workaround keeps going is unknown.
Other paid services such as such as All-Debrid and Premiumize seem to still be working.
All Debrid Is now Also Blocking 3rd Party Apps
All Debrid has released a statement saying they are also blocking 3rd party apps.
The statement says that it is effective immediately.
Due to unprecedented growth in our user base and our commitment to maintain high service quality standards, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue one of the features you are currently using via a third party application, effective immediately.
Best Alternative Debrid Kodi Addons with Free Links
How Does This Affect Kodi Addons?
Debrid has long been apart of Kodi addons, Stremio, and other types of streaming apps, with the full effect of the limited service yet to be known.
If you use a Kodi addon and Debrid service, another source for the links will need to be found or a patch to the fix is needed.
While some other paid services can currently be used, they also may eventually be impacted.
There are also numerous workarounds being posted on social media that may work short term, but a long-term fix is unknown.
If you use a free link addon such as Scrubs V2, you will be less impacted, although users shifting away from paid links may cause a slowdown and more buffering.
This is an ongoing story, which we will update this post as more is known.
