Workaround for Self Hosted AIOStreams Users with TB Pro + Usenet
As most of you know, self-hosted AIOStreams users can no longer use the built in "TorBox Search" add on. That basically means losing Usenet access for TB Pro accounts. I was told the "meteor" add-on still works for Usenet, but I could not get any results from it. It does not work for me.
Right now, the only way to keep using "TorBox Search" add-on is through public AIOStreams instances like elfhosted, midnightignite, or fortheweak. I did not want to fully move away from my self-hosted setup for AIOStreams, so this is the workaround I have.
I created AIOStreams accounts on all 3 public instances and did exact same steps on each of them:
- Enabled the built in "TorBox Search" add on and set it to debrid + usenet (screenshot)
- Removed all filters in "sorting" screen, so that nothing gets filtered out. Remove all default filters and empty it. (screenshot)
- Copied the "Direct Manifest URL" from the Save & Install page (screenshot)
Moved over to my self-hosted AIOStreams instance and did the following steps;
- On my self-hosted AIOStreams, added the manifest URL that I copied earlier as "AIOStreams" add-on in the built-in marketplace. Just paste manifest URL and rename the add-on. See in this screenshot + screenshot2
- Added all 3 manifest URLs from each public instances as backup in case one goes down, the other keeps working. I renamed them properly. See in this screenshot
- Sorted my add-ons on my AIOStreams to get proper results screenshot + screenshot2
- Additionally, to avoid duplicate results from all 3 AIOStreams, I enabled "Deduplicator". See screenshot
- Finally, here you can see I get torbox search results while using my self-hosted AIOStrems - both debrid and usenet - screenshot (note: I legally own a copy of the movie in the screenshot)
By doing above steps, I still get "TorBox Search" results including Usenet ones, while keeping my main setup self-hosted. I have "torrentio" additionally, and I also have self-hosted AIOLists instance.
