Hi Peeps.

So the issue is that stremio wouldn't play a movie on my Thomson (onn box clone) media player tonight. I tried different streams, but every single one wouldn't play.

I then tried it on my android phone and loads of streams worked no problem.
Any idea why this would happen?

Cheers.

Stremio has been awful for me recently on android tv. I looked into nuvio as a replacement (can use stremio addons and import your libraries and stuff, has some other nice features like skipping anime intros) as well as downgrading stremio to version 1.8.4 (use apkmirror or something and a universal installer for the app bundle). Both ways seem to be working well.

Nuvio is basically what Stremio should be by now really, I quite rate it but tend to stick to Kodi generally.

Who would have thought that Stremio, after adding paid subscription, would not just not improve but actually get worse. That's shocking.

Thanks for the comment and info.

I've installed Nuvio and, for the moment, it's playing streaming files that stremio will not play.
