r/Nuvio

Hi can we know when the torrent arrive to Android phones?

Is WebstreamrMBG working? For me its showing no streaming found. Instead Im using Hdhub and its good any other recommendations? Btw any workaround for webstreamrmbg?

Making this post to help those that are out of the loop or looking for answers.

Is Real Debrid Down?

No, the service itself Real Debrid is up and running. However, there are issues with caching and downloading/streaming specific types of torrents as detailed below. Most file hosters are up and running as is the core service.

What happened?

Around May 9th/10th (depending on where you are in the world), Real Debrid began the implementation of filtering to mark cached torrents with specific keywords or string matches as infringing on copyright. These terms are frequently used for torrents of movies and tv shows that get added to the Real Debrid cache.

Why did this happen?

Real Debrid previously announced in 2024 that they would be applying "a filtering by file name" for files hosted on the platform. While the other criteria in the tweet was mostly implemented, keyword filtering wound up getting delayed indefinitely until it was put in place earlier this month (likely due to mounting legal pressure in France in order to comply with the EU Digital Services Act).

What is guaranteed to be marked as infringing file? What are the banned keywords?

The following is pulled almost verbatim from here (changes made for formatting and clarity).

Two types of filename patterns cause blocks. If the filename contains any of these five strings (case-insensitive), the torrent is rejected immediately:
web-dl, webrip, bdrip, hdrip, dvdrip

OR, if when a source tag and codec tag appear dot-separated and directly adjacent, certain combinations are blocked. The check is case-insensitive:
BluRay.x264, HDTV.x264, HDTV.XviD, WEB.x264, WEB.h264

Why can't uploaders just rename the torrent names to not include those keywords?

Piracy is made up of a lot of players, but some of the largest are the scene groups that distribute torrents. The scene groups use standard naming with these keywords which resulted in a large portion of the RD video file cache being removed as infringing. It has operated this way for a while, so while some torrents may be reuploaded on a small scale without those names, most will not. The scene groups are very unlikely to cater to the changes because entire workflows have been built around these strings for years, Debrid users are seen as taking away from seeding torrents (sharing parts of them with others) and Debrid users make up a small portion of the torrent community.

Real Debrid is working fine for me, why all the commotion?

If you use addons within apps like Kodi, Stremio, Nuvio, etc., it's likely those apps are already filtering out the above strings. You may be missing streams and have limited options to pick from, or things may be fine.

If you use Real Debrid for premium file hosters, torrenting movies and tv shows at 1080p or below, torrenting anime or games, or for older content, it's completely possible the service is working just fine for you and you haven't ran into many errors. As mentioned, the filtering is targeting specific content (movies and tv shows).

A large part of the draw to Real Debrid is the large cache for the price. If you use Real Debrid for streaming high quality content (4K movies, Dolby Atmos, etc.), the value proposition is arguably much worse now when compared to other Debrid services.

Didn't the same thing happen in 2024? Can't I just wait until Real Debrid fixes itself?

Real Debrid made changes to their API calls in 2024 among other things to make piracy more difficult on the platform in order to appease regulators. Streaming addons went down for a few days because they couldn't query the API to see if something was cached (API endpoint /instantAvaibility). Popular addons implemented workarounds. Unlike 2024, the keyword filtering makes it impossible for most existing torrents to exist on the platform so there is no fix this time.

Is there any workaround?

Maybe, if you use AIOStreams I posted a guide a few days ago that I recommend looking at. As mentioned in the guide, this is a workaround not a long term fix. Many addons are already implementing keyword filtering to avoid torrents that have been removed.

Do I need to seek out other services?

Nobody knows for sure what will happen next, but it's very likely Real Debrid will keep these new measures in place to comply with regulators. It's also possible that they add more criteria to the filtering in order to remove more content in the future. If you are part of the use case for the platform affected and notice the drop in available streams/torrents, it may be time to seek out other services. However, if you don't stream using Real Debrid or fit a use case that isn't affected by the filtering, you may be fine sitcking to the platform. Experience will vary.

Are other services at risk of the same?

All Debrid and DebridLink are at risk because they are based in France. Basically any provider in the EU is likely to face the same issues. This particular crackdown won't apply to T0rBox because they are based in South Africa. Same with Preimumize being in Belize/Malaysia.

How do I easily compare Debrid services if I'm looking to switch?

Use this article and/or included interactive web app to compare and contrast different providers.

Please comment if I missed anything or made any mistakes. I'll edit the post as long as it's up with any future changes.

Saw this update on the TF article but hadn't seen the update posted anywhere. I would say all services based in the EU are at risk from this service degradation at some point.

>Update: Real-Debrid’s parent company, XT Network, responded shortly after we published this article. The company explained that the current situation is unrelated to the corporate restructuring. At the same time, it confirms that it indeed uses filters to block content.

The company positions Real-Debrid as a technical intermediary operating within the framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA) and French law (LCEN).

It cites a Paris Court of Appeal ruling of March 19, 2026, supporting its view that Article 8 of the DSA prohibits any general monitoring obligation on technical intermediaries.

The filtering actions it has taken are a response to keyword lists provided by trusted flaggers, which is in accordance with Article 16 of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

In other words, the company says that it implemented a keyword filter in compliance with its legal obligations. XT Network says that Real-Debrid users are welcome to report errors, if they see any.

Wassup my nuvio brothers and sisters im just wondering whats the best android tv version for good synced up playback and fast plugin loads times. Thank yous and thank the devs

Question for the devs: what made TorBox Instant insanely fast? I have never seen a 80gb remux load that fast… blown away

Torbox is back up , But torbox instant saying nuvio service unavailable. Anyone else having this issue. On a Google TV.

Is there a way to show all episodes and seasons? Current it only shows what is unwatched.

As the title says, just wanted to know the diff between "Reuse Last Link" vs "Reuse Binge Group".

"Prefer Binge Group" I understand comes into play while playing the next episode, it tries to take the same source profile as the current episode. But isnt "Reuse Last Link" vs "Reuse Binge Group" kind of doing the same thing?

TLDR How do you use different indexers (Nbzgeek specifically), with TBox, without self hosting AND without getting flagged/banned from NBZgeek?

Context:

• I've recently setup TB with a pro account for usenet
• TBox addon doesn't return Usenet, and/or their cache doesn't have what I want, but NBZgeek does
• apparently using AIOstreams public instance gets you banned by NBZgeek for IP throttling or too many different IPs accessing their servers.

Current setup

• Viren's AIO instance with Tams setup
• newznab addon and NBZgeek credentials added.

This currently works, but I don't know if this will get me banned / flagged by NBZgeek.

Note: elfhosted version does not return anything from nbzgeek (FYI for future readers).

Specific help needed from the forum

1. Which public instance of AIOstreams can be used with Newsnab and not get you banned?
2. If not, which other Usenet indexers can be used? And what's the setup for those?

I do not want to self host. I'm trying to have the debrid-type experience.

Everything I try to play on Nuvio tv app android tv. I’m getting same message. Everything was working fine up until 10 mins ago. Anyone else having issues?

search api said to be whitelisted for certain ip sanges submitted by developers with new update. Does this mean non developers can no longer use the api to search cached content by other users?
