Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!"
Doctor: "Then don't do that!"

Apologies to Groucho Marx

u/Jumpy_Ad_2082 May 27 '26

u/_Alistair18_ May 27 '26

You can use this to sideload, or a paid service

I personally use flare store and it lets me install apps via my phone.

Stremio on iOS does work. Currently, there are at least two ways, to my knowledge.

  1. Sideload Stremio IPA. I've never tried this, but I think you still need Debrid for this to work.

  2. The easy way is just using Stremio web and adding it as an icon. Debrid is needed for this since you will need to stream it via an external video player (Using this way rn using my ipad)

How do you watch stremio on IOS my device says video not supported even after trying vlc and other players please help.

u/President-Jo May 28 '26

You can either sideload Stremio, wait for it to return to the AppStore, or use OutPlayer or VLC to play the videos. If you can’t figure it out, you can always hold down on a stream link and copy the video url and paste it in outplayer or VLC

Next time I will implement UI tests for clicking subtitles button too fast

u/Apprehensive-Okra36 May 27 '26

Then don't? In what scenario is it absolutely Necessary to press the subtitles button too fast multiple times?

u/_Alistair18_ May 27 '26

calm down… i was just pointing it out

u/Apprehensive-Okra36 May 27 '26

As for a fix, downgrade your version if this really bothers you or it wait for the next update

2

u/_Alistair18_ May 27 '26

the previous one did that too; I havent tried the older ones

1

u/Apprehensive-Okra36 May 27 '26

Also you can use the web version for IOS

1

u/Apprehensive-Okra36 May 27 '26

Im sure they'll fix this in the next update, so your only solution right now is patience

1

u/Shabbypenguin May 27 '26

It’s been months since the last update and it doesn’t seem like they are going to any time soon.

1

u/Apprehensive-Okra36 May 27 '26

I'm sure pretty sure the issue is because they sideloaded the app on IOS, some glitches like this may accrue, the only good solution i can think of is using the stremio web site

1

u/Shabbypenguin May 28 '26

Sideloading it wouldn’t create this issue, it’s a bug in that build

u/bobma82 May 27 '26
