Scanners have gotten better recently, meaning they can tell the difference between water and explosives, but these restrictions weren’t pulled out of thin air like many others.

There was a thwarted terrorist plot to use drink bottles to hold explosives.
Other comments seem not to mention the Real Debrid bit, so I’ll focus on that here:
Personally, I use my preferred debrid service to reduce the amount of stuff I need to store. You can mount the files you’ve got saved in your debrid using rclone with the webDAV creds that Real Debrid gives you.
You should probably use rogerfar’s rdt-client, even if you only use real Debrid to download torrents without using your own ip. It implements the qBittorrent API so you can point *arts at it as a download client. It’s got a couple of modes, so you can either have the files downloaded or symlinked from the mount discussed above.
Zerg from DebridMediaManager is something I’ve heard good things about, but i haven’t been able to try it as its source-available for a fee, which i disagree with.
Whilst it would be lovely if us Englishmen didn’t have student loans, they could be a whole lot worse. We only pay them once we earn over a certain threshold, and they’ll disappear after 30 years. Plus our unis are funded in large part by international students (which has its own issues), so Brits’ course fees are slightly subsidised.
Not good, but hey at least it’s not the US(!)
Other than being able to transcode, not really. You could probably instead set up a proxy for AD’s sftp/webDAV so only one connection/ip is active at a time
If OP’s already using jellyfin/plex, alldebrid provides a webDAV server which you can mount with rclone. You can then make symlinks from that mount to your media library.
Yep, those are 2 different ways to turn media requests from users into something oldx/jellyfin can use.
Might be worth noting that real debrid’s webDAV implementation (the protocol that lets you access the files in your mount) is a little funky, and might get very slow for large libraries (over 1k links), so itsToggle (author of plex_debrid) has a fork of rclone to fix this. There’s also a new project called zurg from the debrid-media-manager people, but it’s closed source, and the devs don’t intend on making it open source.
One way is to use rclone to mount your Real Debrid link onto your server and run plex/Jellyfin using the remote media. That way all your clients talk to the server, so you’ve only got one connection to RD
RDT-client implements the qBittirrent api so you can point radar/sonar at it, and it will make symlinks from your mount to a structured media directory
Plex_debrid is a python script which is a standalone method to get media onto RD. It can take requests from your plex watchlist or ombi/overseerr and will search trackers to grab the release. As plex is less fussy about the file structure of your media, you can just point plex straight at your mount.
Sorry maybe I’ve misunderstood your stack. The “typical” plex_debrid stack has the debrid mounted via WebDAV using rclone so plex/jellyfin/whatever can see the stuff on your debrid as though it was a local file, only downloading bits of each file as they’re requested.
The option I suggested lets rclone download to your disk as a cache, which I found mae the experience much smoother
What args have you passed to rclone? I found setting ‘—vfs-cache-mode full drastically improved streaming performance
I use Alldebrid over WebDAV on infuse. The sync times can be incredibly long, opening the magnets folder of my WebDAV takes around 2 minutes with around 300 torrents - around 4k files. You only need to do this long syncing when your library changes, streaming is near instant.
Jellyfin is a bit trickier because it requires quite a strict file structure, and most (if not all) debris services don’t let you change the file structure of your drive. Itstoggle is working on an artificial sorting branch for his fork of rclone for real debrid which should be able to rename files for jellyfin to understand
I use alldebrid because my use case is slightly weird (I want to keep files in my debrid and stream them from it so I can have a big Jellyfin library without having much storage) and their retention is best.
Torbox is a newer to the market (less will be cached) with a couple of bonus features. My second hand impression of it is that it’s still in Beta (usable, but not free of bugs or stable). They seed the torrents you download.
Debridlink is less popular (less will be cached), but seems well liked. They also seed the torrents you download
