It looks as if the axe has just come down, and the instantAvailability endpoint that most / all Stremio addons use to determine whether a torrent is cached with RealDebrid, is gone.

As a result, all the addons configured for RealDebrid will be erroring, or returning no results. Where possible, we've tried to replace these errors in the ElfHosted addons with a message directing users to this page, so that we can save them some time and frustration.

So what's happening?

RealDebrid were instructed to tighten their anti-piracy stance, and have removed features which Stremio addons use.

Is that why my media doesn't play?

Yes. If you've got addons configured with RealDebrid, they won't be able to find cached media for you, and will likely return no results (or the alert which brought you here)

So how do I fix it?

In the immediate term, you'll want to switch debrid providers in your addon. Most addons support several providers, but the most common (giving you best coverage across the addons) are:

In each case, the above links are referrals for my account, and accrue credits to fund future giveaways. Once you've got a new debrid provider (as little as $3 for 15 days), you'll need to reconfigure each addon.

You can do this by hitting the "configure" button in Stremio, and changing your debrid provider details, and then clicking "Install" again.

You'll end up with 2 copies of the addon (one for RD, one for your new provider), and you can just uninstall the RD instance.

Will it happen again?

Maybe. AllDebrid and DebridLink are based in France, just like RealDebrid. TorBox is new and may be overwhelmed with new users. Premiumize is based in Malaysia, has a cap, but cached content doesn't count.
