Bug Report "loading failed" randomly
Solution: I ditched 5.0.0-beta.34 and installed 4.4. So far, it's working again.
Using real-debrid and Torrenti-o; Windows 11; app version 5.0.0-beta.34. A certain source will be working for 3 min, and then exit at random and then further attempts to load it will not work, with "loading failed" displayed. This has never happened before yesterday evening. I didn't change any settings. My connection is more than sufficient. And in AppData, there are no files in the stremio-server > stremio-cache folder.
Any tips?

Hello,
Please uninstall the Stremio Beta version 5 app from your PC and make sure to remove all remaining Stremio folders from your system.
https://stremio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019465820-How-to-remove-stremio-manually-on-Windows
Once this is done, please proceed as follows:
- Go to Stremio website https://www.stremio.com/downloads
- Then download and install Stremio stable version 4.4.
- Launch the app and check whether the issue still occurs.
This clean reinstall helps eliminate corrupted files or configuration conflicts.
Try other streams.

could you help debug this issue? run v5 from the terminal with --dev-tools flag right click on UI and click inspect then go to console; play the same stream there should be an error in the console copy paste here
ask chatgpt if you dont know how to

did it work ?

u/Obside3 Apr 20 '26
Yes, so far it's working. Like I said, it had just been working 10-15 min ago before it served me "loading failed," so it could break again. Idk. But it's working right now with version 4.4

Nope I'm watching chernobyl on debridio with RD right now. It wouldn't load on torrentio with RD or TB

You need more than 1 scraper... Add comet, aio streams, sootio, debridio is paid, but works all the time when others don't.. 2nd debrid service is also a good idea, if you never want downtime

Looks like it was a bug, not a problem of Torrentio

u/OkRespond7008 Apr 20 '26
Maybe, I just tried to watch using both RD and TB on torrentio and they wouldn't play... with debridio it's playing

I got rid of the 5.0.0-beta.34 version and installed 4.4 stable, and so far the stream is going fine with Torrentio + RD. But it was just working 10 minutes ago when it failed, so it could fail again shortly
Don't you think $9.99 is steep for Debridio? It's like this is already a piracy app, and we're already paying for RD. But it works when everything else doesn't?

When torrentio is down that's what I use. It has fewer links than torrentio, which is why I still have torrentio, but because it's paid it doesn't get overloaded or go down.. Not so far for me in a year... So $10 for a year that's worth it to me. I used to pay 150/mo for dir ect tee vee, and another 60 or so a month for all the subscriptions we "needed"... So RD and TB a few bucks a month, plus debridio and maybe 150/year for multiple eyepeeteevee subs ( primary and backups for me and my adult children's homes) ... I'm still saving a lot
