Plex only plays files in its library folders, so every setup makes your own TorBox account look like a folder it can scan. TorBox has its own WebDAV, so unlike Real-Debrid it needs no Zurg. There are four ways to do it.
Updated
The lists show what each one asks you to keep running. Each has its own section below.
rclone mounts TorBox's WebDAV as a folder, and Plex scans that folder. It's the Zurg route without Zurg.
rclone mount torbox: /mnt/torbox --dir-cache-time 10s --vfs-cache-mode fullTorBox's help pages give the WebDAV address. Windows needs WinFsp for rclone; a Mac needs macFUSE or FUSE-T. The Plex settings and the ways a mount breaks are the same as with Zurg: see the Real-Debrid guide.
Decypharr poses as a qBittorrent download client for Sonarr and Radarr. It adds what they ask for to your TorBox account, mounts it with rclone and leaves a symlink where Plex looks.
It works with Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Debrid-Link and Premiumize too. You set up the content sources Sonarr and Radarr search yourself. More tools like it: Zurg alternatives.
A host like ElfHosted runs Plex and the TorBox side for you. You bring your own TorBox account and Plex Pass.
The server isn't on your network, so every stream counts as away from home and needs Plex Pass or a Remote Watch Pass. Prices change, so check the host's store.
One Mac app that puts films and series into your Plex library and streams them from your own TorBox account, to every Plex app. There's no rclone, WebDAV or config file: it takes care of the library folder, the Plex connection and the stream.
It measures your TorBox speed and picks the file that plays without stopping. Every source is listed by quality if you'd rather choose.
When a link dies, the same file is found again, and a source that's too slow gives way to another copy.
About 25 MB per title stays on the Mac, so Plex never scans over the internet.
The part that serves films runs on its own, so quitting, restarting or updating the app doesn't interrupt what's playing.
Stremio catalogs and your Plex Watchlist become Plex collections that keep themselves current.
A film in Plex gets them in Plex's own menu, on every device.
It works with nine more services, and Pro can use several in order: debrid services that work with Plex.
Find the line that sounds like you.
| If you have or want | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A Linux server or NAS, and you like tinkering | rclone on TorBox's WebDAV | Free, and no Zurg to run |
| You already run Sonarr and Radarr | Decypharr | Plugs in as their download client |
| You don't want to run anything at home | Hosted, like ElfHosted | Someone else keeps it running, for a monthly fee |
| An Apple TV and no server | Infuse on TorBox's WebDAV | Infuse plays the share itself, without Plex |
| A Mac running Plex, and no Docker | StreamBridge | One app, nothing to mount or keep running |
| If you | A better fit |
|---|---|
| Don't have a Mac | rclone on TorBox's WebDAV, or hosted Plex |
| Want open source | rclone, with Decypharr if you use Sonarr and Radarr |
No. Plex only plays files in its library folders, so something has to make your TorBox account look like a folder: rclone on TorBox's WebDAV, a tool like Decypharr on top of a mount, a hosted service, or, on a Mac, StreamBridge.
No. Zurg is made for Real-Debrid. TorBox has its own WebDAV, so rclone can mount your TorBox account directly, with nothing in between.
Use the username torbox and your TorBox API key as the password. TorBox's help pages give the WebDAV address.
On your TorBox settings page, at torbox.app/settings. Every route here uses it, StreamBridge included.
Yes, in StreamBridge Pro: you put your services in order, and a title plays from the first one that has it. A service whose account has lapsed is skipped. The free version plays from the first service in the list.
Not at home, where streaming on your own network is free. Away from home, the server owner needs Plex Pass, or each viewer needs Plex Pass or a Remote Watch Pass. That holds for every route here, StreamBridge included.
No. StreamBridge is a Mac app, and Plex Media Server has to run on the same Mac. Elsewhere, rclone on TorBox's WebDAV or a hosted server is the usual route.
No. It doesn't host, index or sell content, and it doesn't share debrid accounts. It streams files from your own TorBox account into your own Plex server, and what you watch is your responsibility.
