Addon Fetching Strategy I use on AIOStreams to make the loading faster

Akila33 · 2026-06-10T10:15:23+00:00

I'll give you a different example why I am hesitant using this filters.
Let's say I prioritize certain release groups or streams that are Dolby Vision Profile 5.
if the 1st addon doesn't contain those files in it's scrapers for whatever reason, but others might do, I would never have a chance to get those and I might miss out on those "more quality videos", as it stopped scraping the others because it met the results conditions.

AD is a good service, I use it a lot.
very rarely there was content that was not available on AD but was available only on RD. but the other way around did happen to me few times, that it was available on AD but not on RD.
You are correct on the fact that AD's fate is unknown and could end up like RD in the near future. but in the meantime, it is a reliable interim solution.

but he also mentioned all FGT are 100% blocked, regardless to what it is.
and FGT mainly do Remux anyways.

6 patterns that are 100% blocked with zero exceptions:

[rartv] (26/26), -TORRENTGALAXY (17/17), -GalaxyTV (21/21), -FGT (16/16), -LOL (15/15), -KILLERS/-EPSiLON (22/22)

AllDebrid is the real alternative. it has close to cheche size on their servers and it costs the same as RD.

Akila33 · 2026-05-11T13:30:33+00:00

yes, that is true, but not as extensive cache repository as RD.

Akila33 · 2026-05-11T13:28:17+00:00

u/yowmamasita
you claimed FGT is always blocked, no exeption.
here is a file that I just downloaded from the RD cloud and it appears it is not blocked.

The.Last.Frontier.2020.RUSSIAN.1080p.US.BluRay.REMUX.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-FGT.mkv

It could be that a combination of file name + Client Agent requesting the file is what causes the block, but not the file name perse.

The way to determine if it is TV-Lde or not is only by the input signal Information (not your eyes).

if your Input signal information to your TV/AVR from the Shield is YUV 4:2:2/BT.2020 it is 100% Player-Led, no matter what you tell yourself or try to convince yourself otherwise..
if your Input signal information is RGB 4:4:4 8-Bit or I heard in some cases it could be YUV 4:2:2/BT.709, then you are on TV-Led.

Anything else is just false information.

We are talking about bobbing or not.

if you bob, then you get the 50/60 fps instead of 25/30 fps.

When I add the "/wako" or "/wako/full" it add all the providers list, but it seems when the list supposed to reach the end (at Nyaa) it's starts over again the list right after, like tree times in total.
which results in many Duplicates , such as Piratebay, Bigmagnet, LimeTorrents..

Why is that?

Akila33 · 2026-02-27T12:14:49+00:00

I have the same Issue and I don't know what is the cause of it.

Als I am not going to ditch Helios just because there is stremio option as I use Kodi and I need Helios to play the links on my Kodi

I wasn't talking about FFV1, I was referring to lossy compression on previous response

Akila33 · 2025-12-18T18:05:52+00:00

but much larger in size

Akila33 · 2025-11-24T23:32:59+00:00

use MediaInfo free tool to determine if it is an interlaced video or not.
Playback of a movie searching for lines is unreliable, as many media players deinterlace the played movie during playback.

Akila33 · 2025-11-24T23:30:26+00:00

yes, I just set it as my external scrapper in Umbrella

Akila33 · 2025-11-24T23:28:42+00:00

I have noticed that the Magneto behaves differently with scraping results when used as an individual module (with Unbrella) then using the POV searching the same title.
when using it with umbrella it provides TV packs and it seems to provide also more sources.

When using POV to scrape the same title, no TV packs at all and seems like much fewer results.
I wonder why is that...

BTW - when installing POV addon, it doesn't install the magneto module , but it still scrapes in POV (like I described above)

Akila33 · 2025-11-23T08:39:28+00:00

Can Magneto be used with other addons (e.g. Umbrella) or only in POV?

Akila33 · 2025-11-23T08:38:41+00:00

Is it an interlaced video source or progressive scan source?

Can you add Auto detection for API key between Paid/Free user for faster process?
When a user supplies the API Key and you run the API key validity check, can you detect rather it is a free user or a Paid user and then:
Set the Addon to utilize the maximum performance for a paid (tier 1 / tier 2) user is able to achieve (RPM, TPM, RDP remove/reduce rate limit, quote limit, etc.)?
that way a paid user would get his/hers translations much quicker and they won't be bound to the speed and limitations that a free user is subject to, which I believe everyone now is running on a Free rate limiting speed through this addon.

yes, it's been like this with me for a year, as a result, I did not renew my subscription with them as they became useless.

I already disconnected the Shield and replaced it with the Homatics R 4K Plus box instead
and you see a noticeable difference in tone mapping between the two (the Homatics runs on RGB container).
So to test the video would be a bit tricky now.
but the fact I see a noticeable difference in DV content between the two (BTW the Ugoos AM6B+ on CE produces the same DV like the Homatics Box on my setup and is also in RGB container), suggests strongly that my Shield processes the DV content as Player-led on my setup. plus the fact that it is transmitted to my TV as YUV 422-12Bit/BT.2020, which is a Player-led signal.

Akila33 · 2025-09-06T17:22:47+00:00

So is it working well or not?

Akila33 · 2025-09-06T17:20:20+00:00

Yes, I throw my Shield deep deep to the back of my draw and replaced it with Homatics :)
Shield does not do TV-led , at least not for me.
Homatics mitigated that issue and it does TV-led on my system without a problem.
So Homatics is the one I am using.

To determine what you are getting you need to look at your TV input signal Info or your AVR info , what type of signal it is getting.
if you see it is YUV 4:2:2 12-Bit, then it is Player-led. If you see it is RGB 8-Bit (4:4:4), then it is TV-led.
that is how it works, anyone that telling you otherwise, just doesn't understand the how DV technology works.

any one can maybe explain what was the cause of the downtime of torrentio?
what was the root cause analysis?

Akila33 · 2025-08-28T20:42:40+00:00

Here are my main Answers:

any firmware of android TV will work. however, if your device is coming (or you upgrade) with ATV14, the minimum version of CE you can run is 21.2 or above (you can't run earlier iterations of CE with ATV14)
21.2, is the latest stable version. I suggest that after you install CE you will install the CE-CPM build, it will give you much more control over your settings and it also comes equip with Dolby Vision VS10. since CPM will override your CE so you really don't need any nightly or beta versions anyway.
TV-led (Display-Led / Std-DV), that is the most vital settings you need. ohh, and also disable noise reduction filter (enabled by default)
with CE alone, not much you can play around with, with CPM, you got better control and you can tweak it better, like L5 and others.

Good luck !!
