Real Debrid actually works worse with a VPN. Some IPTV works better with one. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Real Debrid do not allow users to use a VPN. There's no reason to anyway, Debrid servers are completely private.

 

Real Debrid is cheap as fuck and it turns Kodi from a buffering unusable mess into a buttery smooth pirates dream.

 

I've been a subscriber for over a decade, trust me - it's the business.

Sale on at Amazon with the Firestick 4K a penny off £30, the Firestick Max £40 and the Fire TV Cube £60.

I think all can be paid in 5 instalments if anyone's interested.

Apparently The Oath, Venom and Fen have been taken down. I'm not at home so can't check, anyone struggling?

I’m watching Clarkson’s Farm on The Oath right now and I was watching some old Twilight Zone episodes with Turdsette on Venom until her bedtime at 10pm. (The two we watched, the second one in particular, were garbage. She was spark out on the couch by quarter to)
 

That good enough for you?

The 80’s version of the Twilight Zone is so shit, that she’s asked if we can go back and carry on with the ones from 1959 instead.

Seren and Elementum are meant be be working well. I'm still rocking The Oath and Venom but don't think you can do fresh installs.

I've registered with Real Debrid and tried to buy a sub but every time I try the transaction gets cancelled, all 3 attempts have been on Amazon Pay using 2 different cards.

 

I have no clue about Crypto or how to get payment cards and a bit wary about using my credit or debit cards.

 

Anybody else had this?

Always just paid with my credit card, never had an issue tbh. Been a customer for over a decade.

I've just tried with Amazon Pay again without success so it looks like I'm going to have to do that.

It's me mate, I'm a cautious bugger.

 

Edit,  done. It's just a matter of activating it now.

I've downloaded the Diggz Xenon build which looks good and is a vast improvement on the standard build and I've set RD on Fen, Seren, The Crew, The Oath and Venom.

Seems to be working ok.

Just got to try and suss out Trakt now.

You'll never look back.

 

You may have to change add ons now and again but it's brilliant being able to watch what you want without all the subscriptions plus stuff that's not even on Netflix, Disney, Etc.

Not a fan of builds personally,  much of what they offer is ill maintained and they're usually unnecessarily bloated.

 

Several of those apps you've quoted there are obsolete already (including my favourite Fen).

 

Nowadays I strongly favour the lightest possible self build. I've stripped my Kodi back to just Add-ons and Favourites, I've only got Seren installed and use The Shadow as a back up.

 

My Favourites only had shortcuts to my Seren Trakt TV Collection and Seren Trakt Movie Watchlist.

 

But that's the minimalist way I choose to roll; end of the day, if it works, it works.

The Crew is decent. It has the UFC replays on the morning after. Otherwise I'm sticking with Seren.

 

Can't find Ultimate Cowboy Showdown on fuck all though, annoying.

[Elite]

Also @Harry's Lad get the OpenSubititles add on. It's invaluable for any foreign shows or mixed English.

I've started watching that Alone, based on your recommendation. Really enjoying it so far mate.

I love that show mate.

 

A lot of them don't realise how hard it actually is going in.

Something else to grapple with.

I can hear, but anything with music and speech together or anything complex and it gets all confused and turns to shit. Very annoying.

Thanks mate.

 

[i5x]

Is Saren still the goto? I have just that and I think The Crew as an alternative which has been OK.
