This is what I understand as well. I have been using it (well, specifically streamio + Rd with torrentio addon) for half a year so far and it's fantastic. Definitely seems too good to be true, but there's no catch imo :)
There's only 3 cons which for me aren't big deal breakers unless it's important to you
EDIT: As I was corrected below, bullet 3 only applies when ~~under the same IP~~ using different external IP addresses
So it's two months later, this still working for you? I'm looking at this for myself just setting up unraid now...
Yes, I use it practically daily and have had 0 issues aside from the very rare occasional maintenance/short outage. here's the guide originally from reddit that I followed after spending some time trying to figure it out
Your edit clarification is wrong btw. It should read: only applies when using different external IP addresses.
Thanks once again, jesus I can't read lol
I haven't looked up info on it yet - but the multiple devices at the same time, that's for one RD account I assume? So, could my spouse and I technically pay for 2 accounts in the same household, or no?
As far as I understand, yes! That's correct. ~~I have 1 account so I can't stream multiple devices at the same time~~. But if you have 2 separate accounts there shouldn't be issues. I'm like 95% sure but someone correct me if wrong
EDIT: As I was corrected below, you only can't stream multiple devices at the same time when using different external IP addresses
You can absolutely stream as many devices as you please at the same time from the same IP address from a single account. You only get in trouble with RD if you stream from 2 different IP addresses simultaneously.
Ah that's the important part I was forgetting, I appreciate the correction!
