For someone with an established plex, jellyfin, etc system, what did Debrid and Torrentio offer for you to switch?

I have a "traditional" home server with Plex + *arr + torrent client set up. It's great, but I need to manage the storage space on my NAS and I have to wait a few hours between requesting media and watching it. Using Debrid with Torrentio means I don't have to wait for a download or find a place to store it.
Right now I run both Coaxist and my old Plex server in parallel.
This is so awesome, but any plans for Jellyfin integration?
I don’t have any plans at the moment but I welcome anyone who would like to fork the project for this. Happy to try and make things easy for you.
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 know it's been around for a long time, but I just heard about Real Debrid. My current setup is Wasabi + Rclone + Jellyfin, plus all the *arr services. What's the benefit of Real Debrid over this setup, aside from cached torrents?
You've identified the main benefit – Debrid services provide cached torrents for "instant" downloads. Streaming straight from a Debrid service's fileshare also means you don't need to buy drives or additional storage.
When you say Wasabi, do you mean the hosted S3-compatible cloud storage service?
Thats cool! I am curious, how does this differ from https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid or in one image https://github.com/I-am-PUID-0/pdrcrd ?
The main difference between this project and the ones you listed is that this project includes a Plex installation out of the box. The other projects require you to connect to a separate Plex instance.
Does this mean we only need one debrid account when using plex in different places? I am currently responsible for the movie+series management in my family and will put things on plex for whatever is in demand. However it would be nice if I didnt have to do this, and that they could just fetch things themeselves in Plex. Not super keen on having to pay for a debrid account per location, as debrid will ban the account if seen to be used on different public addresses (if im not mistaken)
