Getting No Links in Cinema HD

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-11T18:07:48.375Z

Thank you. I have been communicating with their support and nothing has helped consistently. When I change something, it may stay connected for hours but then the next day, it is back to minutes.

Had the same problem with not getting the RD links in Cinema. Went to my account in RD and my subscription was expired. Renewed payment and it worked. not saying your situation is the same. But wouldn’t hurt to check.

Forgive me, I am a little confused bc the article you provided contradicts not using a vpn. Did I miss something?

Dak7385 · 2023-12-11T23:21:48.468Z

@Pawsrancher . If that question was directed at me, then no, you didn’t miss anything.

If you use an RD Link, it explains why you do not really need a vpn, because of the safety of RD servers and your ISP not knowing what you are streaming.

But other info of what you do is kept by RD. That is why I use an encrypted anonymous email address to sign up for their services.

But in my country, the authorities are not really interested in what I stream and where from.

It is your choice.

This is from the article and clearly states that you should use a VPN so that is where the confusion comes in when you say I don’t need to use it.
“ Is a VPN Necessary for Real Debrid?

Have you ever searched for your favorite TV show or movie, only to find it missing on your preferred streaming platform? Well, it happens every day for reasons such as licensing and out of the region. That’s where Real Debrid comes in. The platform allows you to stream any content from a touch of your computer button.

Although it might sound awesome, streaming pirated content has its dangers. That’s why you need a strong and reliable VPN to help you avoid these loopholes. A VPN acts as a shield, keeping you secure when browsing the internet.”

Dak7385 · 2023-12-12T00:35:17.585Z

Ok… I have provided you with information. It is entirely your choice.

There is a plethora of articles online on this subject explaining why you dont need a vpn whilst streaming from RD.

Do your research and make a decision.

As i said previously i always have my vpn on.

Have a look at this. It was on Troypoint and could have been found in " search" box.

Everyone has different views:

How many of you use Real-Debrid without a VPN APKs

Just wondering. I’ve read many posts, not here, that indicate one does not need a VPN when using Real-Debrid.

I have removed that link i sent you. It was confusing and i added the wrong link.
My apologies

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-12T03:46:33.313Z

Thank you for clarifying

Dak7385 · 2023-12-12T04:06:12.489Z

You’re welcome. Sorry for confusing you. Pasted the wrong link, which I only realised, after I re- read it because of your other reply.

Good luck in your endeavours.

MarkxG · 2023-12-12T13:42:49.493Z

You certainly don’t need a VPN with RD. I’ve been using RD for at least 5 years and do not use a VPN.

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-17T04:22:36.903Z

Thank you! I have had nothing but problems and now even Kodi with The Crew will play for about 20 minutes and stop. Amazon has added so much crap that can’t be uninstalled that there is less than .8 of a gig left and all that I have added is Troypoint app, Kodi with 1 add on, downloaded, es file and IPVanish. So I am in the process of loading a 4K and am hoping that it will work better.

Dak7385 · 2023-12-17T04:36:55.406Z

@Pawsrancher Genuinely sorry to hear of all the issues, you have been encountering.

I’m not trying to make things worse, nor offend you, but have you considered buying a device with more capabilities?

Finally, if it plays then stops, are you using RD. And how is your Internet speed?

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-17T05:33:31.907Z

You aren’t offending me at all, I appreciate the guidance. I thought the 4K was a step up from the 2nd gen I had. I don’t need much, just one or two options to watch. I downloaded IPVanish and apparently it doesn’t have the green dot built in all of a sudden. Earlier today it did on my old stick but it isn’t even an option in the menu now on this stick. I loaded downloader, then APK time so I could load cinema and then downloaded mx player to use with cinema (as suggested by Troypoint) activated my RD account and my Trakt account. All worked until I tried to fast forward to get back to the place I was when the other stick was cutting out and it won’t fast forward. It shows that it is but it goes back to the place it started. Fast forwarding easily was one of the best things about Cinema. UGH! So frustrating! So far that is all I have loaded. My internet speed is between 250 and 300mbps. I am sure the vpn cuts it down but it should be more than adequate to run the stick. Nothing else is usually running on the Wi-Fi at the time.
Well, I just switched the player back to the built in one and it does fast forward so apparently it is an max player issue. Not sure how big of a deal it is to use the built in vs mx. I am hoping the issues I had with cinema and IPVanish will not be issues on this new stick but I will load the streamio tomorrow as a back up.

Dak7385 · 2023-12-17T06:20:14.959Z

I hope you finally get it sorted. I have mx player pro. But for some reasons, it doesn’t always play well on Stremio, but is fine for my backup Cinema HD.

So, I read all about VLC and I have to say, it is really good for my purposes on Stremio. I like the fact that the small VlC on screen icon opens up a raft of items on the menu.

So, I have used the equaliser to improve the volume from some streams.

Stremio is definitely the way to go with RD.

Good luck.

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-17T16:07:50.109Z

Thank you. Yes, I have the mx pro as well and I am not sure why it wouldn’t fast forward. For shows that show what happened in the previous episode, I like to fast forward past that and it just wouldn’t. I prefer the ease of cinema over Kodi and having to go through so many screens to even get to a show, so I am hoping that streamio is similar to cinema. I think my biggest frustration with all of this is that I don’t really understand how each component of streaming works so I don’t know which needs to be fixed when there is a problem. Heck, we didn’t even have computers when I was in school:joy:.

Miki · 2023-12-17T16:17:00.489Z

I use the built in Stremio player optimized for the app and ff past all the junk at the beginning of an episode and straight into watching the new stuff. I never have had to use an external player for Stremio. In the years I’ve had it I’ve never had an issue. Oh sorry, on the very rare occassion I have ff through that stuff and started to watch the show and the sound is slightly out of sync. I simply back out of the episode, restart it immediately and the sound is back in sync. That’s rare though. The player always starts from where I left off.

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-17T20:04:03.197Z

I will be loading streamio later today. In the past I didn’t really have issues with cinema but I quit watching anything for a little over a year and ever since I started using the stick and reloaded everything to be sure it was new versions, I have had trouble. I really thought that getting a 4K (not max) would possibly resolve things bc people were saying that I was using my stick for too many years but it hasn’t. The few shows I tried to watch since starting to use it last night continue to have issues and stop every so often and buffer or just cut out. The only thing I know that would do that is the internet speed but I check it and it is between 250-300mbps so it shouldn’t be an issue to run a 1.5GB show even through a vpn on a stick that has almost nothing on it. I don’t know what else the issue could be at this point. New stick, newly loaded apps, great internet speed. I am so frustrated and confused. streamio is the answer.

Miki · 2023-12-17T20:14:25.035Z

FYI it’s Stremio. I don’t think the old Streamio app even exists any more. If you do a search here Troy has install instructions, vids and screen shots for set up and adding addons etc. Just do a search and read as well as watch the vids. I usually have the App installed on my device and watch Troy’s vids on my phone. That way I can pause stuff and if something confuses me I can rewind it. That way I can do the work on my device in slow steps and hopefully get it right. Now I also have Stremio installed on my phone, but never watch anything on my phone, I just use it to configure stuff as well as do the RealDebrid API key addition as it’s easier to copy and paste on my phone.
Have fun and STREAM ON!!!

Pawsrancher · 2023-12-18T00:38:57.243Z

Thank you for the correction, my phone autocorrected to add the a. I did start to watch the video to install stremio but he doesn’t list being able to sign up for an account through the stick or on iPhone and I don’t have a vpn installed on my pc since I rarely use it these days. So I guess I will have to do that before I can get started with this.

Miki · 2023-12-18T00:44:45.464Z

Sure he does.
