Legs, I already did the 3/29 update...it took away Exodus, which they were having issues with anyway, and added a couple of others.But unfortunately I've tried to get RD way too many times and now I think they must think I'm some sorta hacker..me!...:lol:I'm learning things that I thought I was too old n set in my ways to learn!

This RD site is way different than here in the states! But I'll get it sooner or later!
BTW...I'm loving this streaming thing! Tho I've discovered I have to practice patience when getting a show or movie to watch...can't just click a channel n there it is, like tv...but it's SO worth it and what do i do mostly but sit on my .... in front of the boob tube:D

BTW Legs..I posted a brag on myself in the SS Facebook site about doing the update all by myself:)
Exodus is still there just go to Video>Addons>Exodus. They just took it off the favorites, I put mine back on cause I don't use Sports Devil or Silent Hunter. Oh and way to go on the update I'm proud of you.

@oldbroad I still didn't get did you pay for real debrid and then try to cancel it. It will not automatically renew and should automatically log you in if you go to real-debrid.com. That's why I use a paid password manager. Never forget your password again and they update it a lot to keep prying eyes out. Called Roboform

No, I didn't get that far!!!I chose the free trial and then cancelled it, but have no clue what my user name/password was:(As on any site, I guess, if you try too many times, they think you're a hacker and won't let me in...and besides, I don't understand their format for signing up.

The free trial isn't even worth the price I've heard. It is real good in Exodus, Specto it is good but it doesn't put all your RD streams together like in Exodus. RD if you don't get one of the paid packages you should be able to set up a new account. My CC went right thru but they did call me the next day to confirm it. If you decide on one of the paid ones it won't work till the CC gets confirmed and they don't tell you when it is about to expire you have to watch that yourself. the 6 month is the best deal at 16 Euro with the Euro at around $1.05 makes it around $3.20 a month. Also since you have Charter Cable internet have heard some not so good things about them for streamers.

I really like the way Zen seems to get the 1080 streams very fast. So far today the 1st one has worked everytime. Don't know if they are RD or not I have it authorized but it doesn't really tell you which ones they are. I don't think these are I don't recognize the name of the stream but it seems to be an outstanding addon. Not quite as many titles but that's OK the quality makes up for it.

I got rid of Charter a few months ago( tho they're still trying to charge me for Feb. and March!) And I intend to get a premium pkg., the shortest one for now..well, that is when I can coordinate my bank acc't. with RD...I had to call today and the person I talked with said that I had to call my bank on Mon. to get the issue ( it wouldn't accept a payment to RD) resolved. And RD would only let me choose the premium?! But that's what I want anyway.

I think that is all there is besides free so your going to take the 15 days to try it out? It is the easiest with Exodus in Specto for me anyway the RD streams don't show at the top usually down about 5 then there will be 3 or so then it's hit and miss all through the streams you just have to look for them. Exodus they are always at the top. Zen which you should have in your favorites works really good. Very similar to Specto but the streams are set up a little different and RD doesn't really show up. It is kind of slow when going between movies but once you decide on one and the streams show up I usually get the first one to work and its usually in 1080 and loads really quick for me. I heard that Exodus is working better since the 2 updates yesterday.

I agree...Specto is taking a long time lately to upload, so I've been using Zen also.

Did you see my PM to you?

Yep works much better then the SS1 for Netflix, Amazon, HBOgo, and for PS Vue which I probably won't keep cause doesn't have my locals. I already had it before I bought the SS1 actually 2 of them one is a 3 one is a 2 which I think they have changed the name to something else but have been using them for 2 or 3 years. Just wanted to watch the race today and didn't want to mess around with trying to stream it on whatever addon there is and putting up with the buffering.

I have a Roku from a few years ago and I'm thinking of putting my other tv in my bedroom...it's now in the guest room and never used... then I don't have to keep going to the library for books! ( I can't just go to bed and hope I'll fall asleep anytime soon)

I just found this thread and haven't read most of it. I have a linux laptop with kodi and also a streamsmart, both work great. I see people paying for real-debrid what is the advantage to have this?
Most of the time you will get a good stream the first time. Exodus has been having some problems although I tried it after the last 2 updates and seems to work better. Also to get good HD streams fairly easy especially for 1080. It's not a must have but for me it is worth $3 a month.

Real-Debrid gives you access to servers (providers) with better bandwidth, ie more likely to get a 1080 stream and usually with less buffering that standard providers. My experience has been that add-ons that support it will benefit well. I dont know what all add-ons support it, but I do know that Exodus, SALTS, and Zen all do.
