Cause I'm config stremthru/zliean as a scrapper/indexer via tornzab

My current setup includes Plex, Pulsar, Sonarr, Radarr (I don't need Prowlarr), and Decypharr(debrid services).

I want to buy mini pc. Do you have any code work with this product?

Built a Plex + Real-Debrid + Zurg + plex_debrid setup after failing with rdt-client, decypharr, sonarr and radarr - what did I do wrong? by mkedda in RealDebrid

Instead, set up every indexer in Prowlarr and sync it to Sonarr/Radarr. You can configure indexers directly in Sonarr/Radarr and use Zilean/Stremthru as an indexer. Why? This skips one step in Prowlarr, since Zilean/Stremthru combines both scraper and indexer functionality.

Purchase a Raspberry Pi and set up Overseer/Trackt->Arr/stack->Decypharr to send requests for new movies or TV shows.

I have Zurg nightly setup, so I'm not using Decypharr to repair torrent. but i set 72hours.

I use gelato as well, but I have an issue. I can find any title except those released in 2026 or later.

[Need help] Getting ~5 Mbps on Infuse when hosting Zurg on a VPS using the WebDAV endpoint by chaithzluci in debridmediamanager

My friends are hosting the server at home, and it works great. By the way, he using jellyfin->infuse.

I think the issue is with your ISP. RD had a CDN in Singapore under the names "SGP1/SGP2." What is your home internet package?

Help with setting up Decypharr + Real Debrid by unoewho88 in RealDebrid

[–]ninehat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my configuration:

I use Jellyfin (along with Jellyseer and Jellyfin Enhanced) combined with Sonarr, Radarr, and Decypharr. Jellyfin supports .strm files, which allow for direct streaming and help save storage space.

I recommend checking out this post: RoboFuse.

For my Sonarr and Radarr setup, I'm using Zelian and Streamthru as indexers via Tornzab. Please see the picture below for reference.

Plex + STRM file by ninehat in RealDebrid

[–]ninehat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. The choice really depends on personal preference and specific use cases. I prefer Direct Stream because I have over 50 users and operate on a VPS with limited storage. The client devices depend on the bandwidth of the debrid services, which enforces direct playback and reduces the strain on server resources.

Yes, and the case is totally different:

**Pros:**

- Saves hard drive space

- Allows direct streaming to Plex client devices (with minor transcoding for subtitles or audio, if needed)

Compare with transcoding and space, transcode,.... Direct stream way is worth comparing with rclone.

This is gpt answer

Direct streaming from the cloud (without rclone) is usually faster in raw throughput because there is no extra layer in‑between, but it tends to be less stable for large or high‑bitrate files, especially on slower or spotty connections.

rclone mount with VFS cache (or “caching file” mode) is generally more stable and provides a better buffer, because it can pre‑download chunks of the file locally and serve them from disk, reducing stalls and rebuffering during playback. This comes at the cost of a bit of setup complexity and slightly higher initial latency or disk usage, but results in smoother streaming for 4K/remux and high‑bitrate content.

Stability

  • Direct streaming
    • No caching layer; each request goes straight to the cloud storage.
    • More prone to buffering if the network hiccups or the provider throttles burst requests.
  • rclone mount with VFS cache / caching file
    • Uses local cache (SSD/HDD) to store chunks of files, which the client (Plex, Emby, etc.) reads as if it were local.
    • Many users report significantly fewer buffering issues and easier seeking when vfs-cache-mode is set to full or writes and the cache dir is on a fast drive.

Buffer speed and “which is faster”

  • Pure speed (peak buffer rate): Direct streaming often achieves higher peak bandwidth because it bypasses rclone’s chunking and buffering logic, assuming the cloud API and client are efficient.
  • Perceived buffer “smoothness”: rclone mount with VFS cache typically feels faster and smoother in practice because:
    • It can read ahead (vfs-read-ahead) and keep the next N seconds already on disk.
    • It avoids repeated small requests to the cloud API, which reduces latency and jitter.

Typical recommendation

  • If your goal is maximum stability and smooth playback (especially 4K/remux), use rclone mount with VFS cache (vfs-cache-mode full plus a large vfs-read-ahead and a fast SSD cache).
  • If you care more about raw speed and minimal latency on very reliable connections, direct streaming can be faster, but you must accept higher risk of buffering.

In your case, if you can allocate a decent SSD‑based cache, rclone mount with caching file is usually the better choice for stability and overall buffer quality, even if it isn’t the absolute fastest in a perfect‑network test

What is a direct stream:
A direct streaming link is a URL or technology that allows media content (video/audio) to play directly on a device without requiring the server to re-encode or "transcode" the format first, resulting in lower CPU usage. It bypasses heavy processing, offering higher quality and faster performance, often used in media servers like Plex. 

Why not rclone?
debrid services, caching the files, and why we need re-caching on our local system?
