        1. Thanks RJ. What do you mean by questionable internet? Is it questionable that you even have an internet connection from your Kodi device? Or, are you concerned that your ISP is blocking some servers or content? If it’s blocking, then again I suggest you try a VPN.

  1. hi, installed venom (pi 3b+ and Win10) on monday and am unable to play torrent links. have paid RD, have cleared cache via indigo/supreme builds/venom/function cache, authorized RD through dependencies and RD addon, turned off ipvanish before doing anything above and then connect. but, either way with vpn runs through all the links until it hits a normal non-RD link.

      1. Would you recommend Premiumize over RD for Kodi Torrent Links and Downloading? Is there an actual SOP on how you’re supposed to clear cache (from each video addons, etc.) authoring RD for ResolveURL/URLResolver and then VPN?

        1. Keith, Premiumize is a bit more reliable and robust than Real-Debrid, but it comes at a much higher price.
          There’s no SOP for this. Each add-on’s settings area has an Accounts section that contains authorizing/clearing links for each of debrid providers. For those add-ons that use ResolveURL or URLResolver, they will have a link in the settings that takes you over to the settings area for that universal resolver.
          VPNs are completely separate from all of this. Usually, it involves a separate app from the VPN provider that is running in the background.

  2. Ok, so it seems that this add on requires a RD account? Nothing is showing put when I do a search on a Show , season, episode XX-XX but at the bottom of the screen it is telling me no RD account set up…

    So does this add on force me to get a RD account

  3. Good Morning Nathan, thanks for responding to my question, so I’ve signed up to try Real-Debrid so I will see how it goes. is there any other current add-0ns you would suggest for folks with Real Debrid? Venom is now working but it does not seem to have anywhere near the sources that say… .The Crew has.

    What other add on would you suggest that utilizes Real Debrid and has alot of sources? I’m going to look at your Add On Tracker but currently I have Venom, The Crew and Tempest I know a lot of these add ons share resources so I don’t look to fill up my box… One program you don’t talk about is Cinema HD I”ve seen several articles on the web but so far, have not seen an posts by you on this option…

    Also in the add on area where the account for Real Debrid is authorized there is a lot of other accounts (that I do not subscribe to) but they are clicked enabled.. .do I really need them to be enabled or can I just click them off or does it really matter, I have always figured if your not using it turn it off :-)

    Thanks for all you help, I do enjoy reading your information and updates.
