I'm asking whether the issues with cloudflare bypass will be resolved or I have to either go with Torrenting or paid options. Half of the HTTP streams don't have problems and other half has.

first: relax
next: I can't say yet. looks like hubcloud added cloudflare recently and on the public instance they detect some bot-like behaviour I suppose. last time a vpn restart fixed it and I thought the vpn just became stale or so. but looks like that's not it.. I have a couple ideas and I also have some backup sources (vixsrc we still have too).

eventually, if you want to have stable 4k streams with multi-channel sound - honestly, I think using a debrid service is better, e.g. TorBox, because they are quite cheap. but I get, that there are various reasons not to, so I won't keep pushing in that direction.

let's keep this open for my investigations..

I honestly don't care about Surround sound since I can't experience it, but in most cases it makes the sound coming from the sound system louder than when using other audios which is a good thing. 4K is good for me but the TV for now supports 1080p max, so much of a difference won't be seen, except the Bitrate of the 4K (ofc nobody is complaining about higher quality, unless it's buffering, and more unstable than the lower one). This addon is the best because it doesn't rely on Seeders therefore it has better stability (sometimes even with 40 seeders the down speed just keeps dropping until it reaches 0 for absolutely no reason). Also can't possibly get a Debrid so this is the only choice I've got with the torrents (for series/movies that a new and don't have this addon scraping the HTTP sites).

Since Hubcloud did the stupidest decision known to mankind, to add Cloudflare, the second the server goes down, with half the internet, so does their site. I understand they want to protect themselves from bots, but with how many times AWS or Cloudflare went offline this year, this is gonna cost them and us dearly.

Applied my other magic trick. Let's see how long that works..

We know Cloudflare must take down pirate sites. Way pirate streaming site use Cloudflare when Cloudflare are not safe.

Thanks for amazing work. You are the best admin for Stremio addons! 👍🏻❤️

Now most of the sources if not all work, but a question, how do you even play the torrents since on the Original site they're files, where do you get the servers?

There are no torrents involved. Webstreamr just scrapes websites with links to either mp4 files or hls playlists basically.
