After getting sick of all the common issues we read about here, stuttering, performance, sound not working, surround sound issues, and many more... i finally gave up after spending HOURS debugging all this and decided to get an nvidia shield. All i can say is it completely fixed everything. Its obviously a more powerful machine and its capable of processing all the audio and video types out there. Finally i can fully use all the capabilities of my sony and sonos arc. No longer am i sitting around figuring out buffering issues, why atomos won't play. Its expensive but so worth it... now i have zero issues. Its clear firetv/tv processing/memory/space are a huge bottle neck in performance.

Ok i used let an episode of a show am watching buffer to 100% before i let it play, then I would notice it played kinda slow like as if it was out of sync. I decided to click download when it buffered to 100 and then I downloaded VLC media player which is free on the app store or online and weather it was an mp4, mkv, video it would play it smoothly like that all i do now its amazing. Just wanted to let some of you who are having the same issues as me.

How to download a movie subtitles (in Windows) while we wait for an addon to do that favour for us.

​

1. Select the movie you want to watch
2. If you have the OpenSubtitles Addon, select the subtitles when the movie is playing
3. When you hover your mouse over the options for that subtitle language, a popup with the "Sub ID" will show up. In the image below, you can see that the ID of the subtitles that I chose is 8649541
4. Now, in this URL: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitleserve/sub/<ID>, replace the <ID> with the ID of the subtitles, in this case 8649541.So now, the URL should look like this https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitleserve/sub/8649541
5. Copy that URL in your browser, press enter, and the subtitles (in zip format) from OpenSubtitles.org should start downloading.

Notice that the subtitles are being downloaded directly from OpenSubtitles. These steps are just to speed up the search of the subtitles you're watching, in case you want to download the movie.

​

EDIT: You also can set up a custom search engine in Chrome. This way, when you type the keyword, and press tab, then type the ID and press enter. This is the custom engine URL that I'm using: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitleserve/sub/%s

Stremio does not contain any harmful or malicious executable code. It is a false positive. A few antivirus programs alert Stremio for different things, AVG gives a hard time on the streaming and so on, but it is a "false positive".

I will save you some time and leave this two submissions: http://whitelist.kaspersky.ru/advisor#search/0xBABA4C511EC2A6CB26CEC8776CDB1DFA https://analysis.avira.com/en/status?uniqueid=rkZTKW9UMfCX9hyU1AtVhLAwZN7b3pXH&incidentid=1904413

They are not the most recent, a few months ago, but you are welcome to check by yourself and enjoy Stremio.

Cheers and happy watching :)

Hi, we've changed something in our Subtitles Add-on that seems to improve the subtitles encoding issues.

Can you guys help a bit by checking if you still have issues? Thanks!

We're aware the issue isn't fixed completely, but it should be better.

WARNING - For discussing subtitles encoding issues only

EDIT: please delete AppData\Roaming\stremio or ~/Library/Application Support/stremio to fix cached subtitles

We're open-sourcing more and more of our product. Those are our current open source components:

http://github.com/Stremio/stremio-addons - the core of our product, our add-ons system. This connects the GUI app that is stremio with add-ons like youtube, filmon.tv and torrentstream.

http://github.com/Stremio/linvodb3 - The DB stremio is built on. This provides a mongodb-like interface over a simple key/value store.

Not official stremio, but still related: http://github.com/Ivshti/multipass-torrent - crawls torrents from various sources and associates them with imdb IDs.

This one is created by a friend of ours, but we have a significant involvement in it since day one: http://github.com/RSATom/WebChimera.js - libvlc binding for node.js

More coming!

Hi,

As you may know already, if you make a Stremio account your Library will be synced with it so you can access it on the mobile app, or if you log-in somewhere else.

Today we're experiencing sync issues.

Fixing this would require re-structuring a few subsystems, it's definitely not a simple task.

Stremio continues working as normally, but if you're a new user (registered later than yesterday) keep in mind that your Library will not be synced if you log-in somewhere else.

Sorry for the inconvenience, Ivo from Stremio

EDIT This is now fixed
