Integrating Real-Debrid for Better Streams

While Syncler works great on its own, you can supercharge streaming by integrating a premium account like Real-Debrid (RD).

Here are the steps to connect your Real-Debrid account:

Sign Up for Real-Debrid

First, you‘ll need a Real-Debrid account:

• Visit real-debrid.com

A Premium account unlocks faster speeds and more high-quality streams.

Link Account in Syncler

Inside the Syncler app:

Authenticate Device

When adding your account, Syncler provides a unique code:

3. Sign into your RD account if prompted

This step verifies your device to use your Real-Debrid account. And that‘s it! Syncler can now access your RD premium links.

According to a Syncler developer, integrating Real-Debrid provides:

• Faster streaming – RD unlocks CDN servers for higher speeds
• More 4K/1080p links – You‘ll get more high-quality sources
• Enhanced reliability– Avoid buffering and lag with premium CDNs

So if you want the best experience, Real-Debrid integration is highly recommended. Now let‘s look at adding provider packages.

Here‘s how to add a provider:

Get Authorization Code

Inside Syncler, go to:

1. Settings > Provider Packages

This unique code links your device.

Enter Code on syncler.net

Next, grab your phone, tablet or computer:

2. Enter the code from the previous step
3. Click Next

This verifies your device to receive the package.

Confirm Installation
