ElfHosted's LitterBox will clean your RealDebrid library of infringing_file content

Hey folks,

It's looking less likely that RD will reverse their infringing_file filters, across WEB-DLs and friends, so we vibed up a tool to help you remove the dead weight from your Real-Debrid library.

Introducing... LitterBox (https://litterbox.elfhosted.com)

Without requiring auth, LitterBox shows you the filename patterns RD is currently blocking — the same ones we're band-aid blocking on our addons to keep streams playing.

After authentication with your RD account (OAuth flow, no API token necessary), it will:

  1. Scan your library for files matching those patterns and let you insta-purge them (they're useless now)
  2. Offer to deep-clean your library, testing each survivor for playability
  3. Surface any new filters the deep-scan turns up, so you can quickly share them here for the community to verify

This way, we can crowd-source a current list of the filters RD is applying and keep our blocklists up-to-date (also helps all those AIOStreams users who are manually maintaining their own blocklists).

LitterBox is open source (https://github.com/elfhosted/litterbox), auditable, has no persistence (everything lives in your browser's storage), and was fully vibe-coded while I drank a margarita in my pajamas (/s)

Update for v1.7: RD's filters were blocking our user-agent/ssl-signature combo resulting in 451s on login, even if you were running it locally / with Docker. This is fixed now. I was aggressively testing, and the only way I could unblock my token was to regenerate it, but it's possible it would have naturally unblocked given enough time.

ElfHosted's band-aid fix for the May 2026 RD "infringing" errors

Hey folks,

At least in the immediate term, it looks like RD is blocking all files matching certain filenames, which is why so many streams are failing with "infringing file" errors.

Hopefully this is an oversight and will be corrected by RD in due course, but in the meantime, to avoid surfacing streams we already know will fail, we're just filtering out results with filenames we're confident will be blocked, currently:

[(rartv|rarbg|eztv)\]|\b(YTS|Erai-raws|WEBRip|WEB-DL|AMZN|DSNP|CR)

This means you can continue to use the ElfHosted Stremio Addons with RealDebrid, and have the addon surface the "best" result for you as usual (per your filters, etc), without having these "false positives" clutter up your stream results and prevent real, playable streams from surfacing.

We'll continue to monitor, and remove the filter if RD rolls back the blocks.

If you wanted to take this opportunity to explore non-RD options, TorBox and Usenet are popular alternatives which we know work well.

Edit: You don't have to change anything, just use the ElfHosted addons as normal - the code I pasted above was just to illustrate what strings we're filtering out! :)

Hey folks,

Here's the ElfHosted AIORatings addon inspired by ratings-aggregator, rebuilt by a fan, and sponsored and brought to scale by ElfHosted (assisted by Claude!).

Primary differences from the original:

  1. Your config is stored with a UUID and password, so changing it doesn't require reinstalling the addon.
  2. Heavy caching design for a super-fast, highly-available instance
  3. "Compact" and "Full" views for mobile/TV users, auto-detecting based on user-agent
  4. Order your ratings, disable the ones you don't want.

There are no rate-limits imposed by us, but it is possible TMDB/MDBList will impose ratings at scale, in which case you can add your own keys if you want to.

Have fun! D
