S7eele has posted a message for fans of the Genesis add-on on the website regarding the current state of Genesis and information on a new Real-Debrid API.

We are receiving a lot of posts reporting problems with Genesis not working as well as it used to or failing to work at all. Some of these posts specifically ask if problems using Genesis v5.1.4 are to be expected or not. These posts are understandable given the situation and I wanted to take a moment to answer ‘yes’ to the question of whether problems are to be expected or not. I also want to take this opportunity to explain to a wider audience that there is simply not much that can be done to help in the majority of cases where problems with Genesis are being encountered. As we all know Genesis has not been updated in quite some time so it is dated, most of the scrapers and/or resolvers have since broken and entire sections are failing as well. The only way to improve the situation so that you are receiving reliable streams is to employ one of the premium services supported. However, you should keep in mind that these could start failing soon as well. As a matter of fact, there is a very good chance that RealDebrid will stop working with v5.1.4 in a month or so. They have implemented a new API and plan to shut down the old one in February. So to summarize and restate in bold print for all to take special notice of:

If you choose to continue using Genesis v5.1.4 you should expect to encounter problems, especially if you are using it without one of the premium services it supports. As explained above, most of the scrapers and resolvers are no longer working. Many people are still using v5.1.4 with great success by utilizing one of the premium services supported, most notably RealDebrid. While the premium services are working well with v5.1.4 right now there is no way to know how long they will continue to work, RealDebrid is likely to stop working with v5.1.4 in the next month or so because of the new Real-Debrid API they implemented recently.

It is our hope that this announcement will answer questions many of you out there have and curb the number of posts we are receiving asking why Genesis is not working or if there is anything that can be done to make it work. There will be some cases where something can be done so we still welcome posts BUT if you are having trouble finding reliable working streams and you are NOT using a premium service there probably isn’t much that can be done. One final reminder that RealDebrid will almost certainly stop working with v5.1.4 in the next month or so.

Thanks all!

P.S. – I don’t want to create unnecessary concern over the shutdown of the old Real-Debrid API. SALTS (using URLResolver) is already using the new API and our other developers are aware of the situation so our other add-ons that are in active development should not encounter problems when the old API is shut down.
