🔄 Last Updated: December 29, 2025

In this guide, I will show you how to set up and use Real-Debrid on Kodi and FireStick. Real-Debrid is compatible with most third-party Kodi add-ons and FireStick apps.

What is Real Debrid?

Real-Debrid is a premium downloader that enables you to download and stream files from multiple hosts at high speeds.

Apps like Kodi and Cinema HD offer free streaming links. However, free links are prone to buffering, and the servers hosting them may shut down unexpectedly, causing the “No Stream Available“ error in Kodi.

Real Debrid eliminates these issues to a great extent by providing links from premium servers that are better maintained than free ones.

I have found that it significantly improves the streaming experience.

Real Debrid pricing starts at €4 monthly, which is roughly $4.71 on December 29, 2025.

Many Kodi addons and FireStick streaming apps have built-in support for Real-Debrid.

Is Real Debrid Safe & Legal?

We scanned the Real Debrid website for suspicious files using an online security tool such as VirusTotal. I tested the URL on VirusTotal, and none of the 98 security vendors flagged the URL as malicious.

At FireStickTricks.com, we can’t determine whether Real Debrid is 100% legal.

You can use Real Debrid to download and stream content under a public license. However, accessing copyrighted content is illegal.

We strictly condemn piracy in any form. However, your privacy is important.

Many users prefer to add an extra layer of security with a VPN. I use ExpressVPN.

Real Debrid Plans & Pricing

Real Debrid offers 4-tiered pricing with varying subscription durations and fidelity points. The service is based in Europe, so pricing is in Euros (EUR). We have provided a rough estimate in USD based on the exchange rate at the time of writing.

Below are the four plans, their pricing, and fidelity points:

• 15-Day Plan at 3 EUR ($3.54) and 150 Fidelity points.
• 30-Day Plan at 4 EUR ($4.71) and 200 Fidelity points.
• 90-Day Plan at 9 EUR ($10.61) and 450 Fidelity points.
• 180-Day Plan at 16 EUR ($18.86) and 800 Fidelity points.

According to the Real-Debrid website, the 90-day plan is the most popular.

Fidelity points offer additional access to the services for a longer duration. For example, when you accumulate 1,000 fidelity points, you get 30 days of free access to premium services.

Real Debrid accepts multiple payment methods. These include:

• Credit Cards
• Prepaid Tickets
• Cryptomoney like Bitcoin

Real Debrid offers a loyalty program where you can earn fidelity points. With every RD plan, you get a certain number of points. Once you have accumulated 1,000 points, you can convert them to an additional 30 days of free subscription.

So, if you purchase RD N4 and RD N2 plans, you get 1,000 Fidelity points. This means you get an extra 30 days free with the purchase of plan 2 and plan 4.

This is how to add Real-Debrid to Kodi. Now that you’ve completed this step, let me show you how to use Real-Debrid with Kodi. If you encounter any issues following the steps, please comment below.

How to Use Real-Debrid on Kodi

Many Kodi addons are “debrid-only”, meaning they can stream only when used with a premium hoster like Real Debrid.  The Crew, Shadow, and Asgard are some examples.

Setting up Real-Debrid for most Kodi addons is straightforward. Open the movie or TV show you want to watch, and you will find several newly added streams. Real-Debrid links are usually labeled with the ‘RD’ tag or a different color from the free ones.

The images below illustrate the difference in the number of streams before and after adding Real-Debrid.

Before Real-Debrid:

After Real-Debrid:

As shown in the two screenshots above, the Real Debrid integration provides more links. The RD links are also of high quality, mostly in 4K resolution. On the other hand, you get fewer links without Real Debrid, and most of them are lower quality (720p).

What if Real-Debrid is Not Auto-Enabled

Real Debrid is auto-enabled in most add-ons, and no additional changes to the settings are required. However, if you don’t see the RD streams, you can enable them from the addon settings.

Here’s an example from the Shadow Kodi Addon. But the steps are almost the same for any other addon.

1. Go to Add-ons > Video add-ons from the Kodi home screen and open the addon. Select Settings from the list.

2. Click Debrid on the left. On the right, ensure that Enable debrid service is on.

Now, access the movie or TV show you want to watch. You will see the new streams from RD.

How to Use Real Debrid with FireStick Apps

Real-Debrid is compatible with several third-party FireStick apps that offer VOD content, including movies, TV shows, anime, cartoons, and documentaries.

These apps have built-in settings that enable integration with Real-Debrid.  Setting up Real-Debrid on these apps is relatively straightforward compared to Kodi.

I will set up Real-Debrid with the Cinema HD app for demonstration purposes. However, the same steps apply when setting up the service on other third-party apps.

Here is how you do it:

1. Open the app you want to pair with Real Debrid. The Real Debrid option is often found in the app’s Settings.

The following is a screenshot of Cinema HD. To open it, click the menu option in the top-left corner, then select Settings from the dropdown menu.

2. Click Account.

3. Click Login to Real-Debrid.

4. A window with a code should appear. Open the link real-debrid.com/device in a mobile or computer browser. Enter the code displayed on your TV.

5. Return to the app on FireStick, where you will see that Real Debrid has been authorized.

How to Delete Real Debrid Download History?

You can delete the Real Debrid history by signing in to your account. However, Real-Debrid retains your download metadata even after you delete it. Therefore, it’s best to use it alongside a VPN.

Here’s how you can remove Real Debrid history.

1. Visit real-debrid.com on a web browser and ensure you are logged in. Then, press the My Account button at the top of the screen.

2. The Accounts menu will open. At the top, you can view the Account Information. Now, scroll down to reveal the History section.

3. The Account History section is at the end of the Account page. Next, go to the Downloads History tab and click the See button next to it.

4. My Downloads menu will open. It lists all your downloads. Lastly, press the X and Delete All buttons to clear the list.
