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 having to pay for 1 real debrid account. As my family is scattered across multiple different locations, we cannot due to RDs rules, share account, as far as I’ve understood. So my question to my fellow pirates are as follows:

  • Is there a way for me to ONLY pay for 1 RD account, yet give access to other family members?
  • What happens if I were to run all TV’s and devices behind the same VPN(tailscale exitnode), would that be enough to to let Real Debrid think we’re all on the same network?

I have the full *arr stack set up on the side, (but much prefer to be streaming most of what I watch). I will however download older series and shows that have multiple seasons.

Or is the answer to this to turn to Usenet instead?

Let me know ur thoughts and experiences.

    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.
