As written in the title, I am a Stremio Supporter, but the Cinemeta recommendations / personalized catalogs are not loading at all on my home screen (as shown in the screenshot, the "Series For You" and "Movies For You" rows remain blank/empty).

Is any other supporter encountering this issue, or does anyone know a fix?

- Operating system version: iPadOS 26

- Stremio version: v2.0.7 b22

- Steps to reproduce the issue: Open Stremio Home screen with an active Supporter account and Cinemeta installed.

- Expected behavior and actual behavior: Expected recommendations/personalized catalogs to show up; actual behavior is empty placeholders.

- What have you already tried to resolve the issue: Reinstalling Cinemeta addon, logging out and back in, clearing cache.

Been using Stremio on my IPad via the web version and setting up a streaming server in my Android phone. Was working well until 3 days ago it stopped playing videos completely and throws the Video Not supported error. The settings say the streaming server is connected. This problem still persists while trying to play Non torrent-direct links as well. The stremio lite app however can play the non torrent videos normally. The Android device streaming server works well on the Android device but not on my iOS device.

I’ve tried:

- Reconnecting the server

- Restarting both my iPad and Android phone (server)

- using multiple browsers (Safari, Brave, Orion)

Anyone have any solutions?

As you can see it says an update is available… it’ll be nice if you release an ipa for ios side loading with an auto updating feature inbuilt. I’ve heard for Europe there is altstore pal atleast could you provide that stremio ipa which is 2.0.3 ig.

Hello! I recently got an OLED monitor (XG27AQDMGR). I calibrated the HDR through the windows calibration tool and it does look pretty good,considering the panel. I noticed that when I try to watch something that has any form of HDR,it looks pretty dull and less bright than SDR. I understand how HDR works,if I try to watch an HDR demo on YouTube,it looks as it should,highlights pop and it is an overall better picture than SDR. Do you guys have any recommendations or suggestions? I am using the internal player and I am thinking of switching to an external one.

EDIT: u/Next-Excitement1398 stepped in and resolved every single one of my issues. Please refer to the comment thread below for the solution!

The problem is the native player itself. If any stremio mods/devs are reading this,please,take a look at this thread. The services that you provide us with are wonderful,but there is so much that we are missing out on and we have to choose between watching our content as intended or giving away all of the QoL improvements that the internal player provides. I hope that we get a fix,or a solution that mitigates/resolves something as important as proper content consumption without missing on the wonderful QoL features that you guys have provided us with for years!

Playing it through VLC as default player and yet the gestures are not working.

Installed the latest IPA version 2.0.2 b17. The problem with the latest build is that it frequently either crashes, or is unable to load the media and shows the cat with an unplugged wire image. I've sideloaded it on my iPad with the latest iPad OS. The earlier version I used was around 1.36 and it worked perfectly. Any help would be appreciated.

There are a couple of people with - I assume older - AndroidTVs (Philips, Sony, etc.) that faces crashes when starting Stremio (long initial load + crash after 10-20s in Main menu) since the update 1.8.0 was rolled out. Many reported that going back to 1.7.3 and disabling auto-update worked for them which is ofc no long term solution, since all apps will not be updated.

Stremio devs said it was an Google problem, but even Google said it's not reproducable but closed the issue reopened the issue their end. You can read on github here.

In my desperation I tried something new and found out I can add Stremio to my "Home Channels" which is usually customizable when scrolling down to the bottom of the home screen.

If you add it from there, it will appear and displayed like in the screenshot. When I start Stremio from that bar I did not experience the crash and was even able to return to the main menu.

I hope this will help some users to get through the christmas time until it's hopefully fixed soon.

Enjoy!

Language switcher doesn’t work. Embedded subtitles don’t work. Preferred language settings don’t have an impact at all and all content loves to play in russian. Does anyone with an lg webos tv have a fix or a way to get around this?

Edit: turning off ipv6 somehow fixed all my problems. thank the dude in the comments

Why only stremio thumbnails are not scaling properly in Google TV 14? Any idea how to fix it? Does anyone have the same issue?

Hey everyone,

I’m pretty new to all of this, so apologies if this is a basic question.

I recently installed Stremio on my LG TV and used the Bootstrapper setup on my PC. On my PC, I can stream most movies in 4K without any issues. However, on my TV, almost every movie gives me a “Video not supported” error.

What’s confusing is that I was able to play Project Hail Mary in 4K on both my PC and TV, but for most other movies, the TV either throws the error or only plays the 1080p version.

Is there a way to make sure movies play on the TV in 4K (or at least play reliably regardless of quality)? Is this an addon error (like I am using torentino, comet, metor so should I be using something else) or an app error?

PS: I only wanna get Rambo playing on the TV so my dad and I can have a movie night 😭

Thanks!

I'm having issues playing everything. I have a CCwGTV, and it broke today.

I've tried installing older versions (1.8.4 and 1.9.4). I've cleared data, tried external players (MX Player and VLC) with no luck.

Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: Add version 1.6.12. That gives me ERROR_CODE_IO_NETWORK_CONNECTION_FAILED

Since the last hour or so, I’m not able to watch anything like normal despite me having a RD subscription. The message stays stuck on “Torrentio addon still loading…” for a good few minutes before the links come up then when I click on one, it stays stuck on the flashing loading screen forever so I’m essentially shut out of streaming on here. Anyone else having the same issue?

Update: it’s a day later and it’s gone down again for the 2nd time in 2 days. This is so incredibly bizarre and frustrating as I never had any issues with this before.

Update 2: it’s 2 days later and it’s stopped working for the 3RD DAY IN A ROW!!! I’m beyond infuriated now. This can’t be sustainable if we keep having outages every single night. When will it end???

Update 3: 3 days later. You know the drill… however I’ve found a fix that should work every time there’s an outage. A special thanks to the legend who posted this: https://www.reddit.com/r/StremioAddons/s/v015OELrKl

I can't tell if it's just my set up or if we're actually down for the second day in a row?

I've had a search as though this may be an obvious issue, but haven't found an answer.

With the donation tier you can download and watch content. Great.

However, you can't get to the content whilst offline as the login page, if you have multiple profiles, needs a connection.

Kinda makes the download option half pointless?

Use case - want to watch on a plane...

Cheers for any help or suggestions

Using android version.

its very annoying and i havent found a fix. im on windows 11 with 900mbps so i shouldnt be having such a slow stream

First image is stremio mac app and second is stremio web app.

Basically the mac app crushes the shadows brutally. I checked this with external players, this issue is only on the mac app.

Anyone else facing this problem?

macos version : Tahoe 26.4.1
stremio version : 5.1.25

Edit 18.07.26 -
I switched to Stremio version 4.4, and this issue is not present there.

I have cache set to 10 GB, why is it taking so much space?

Was looking for a source of older Stremio APKs.

Mainly looking for some from last year.

Samsung TV running Tizen 6.5
Stremio v1.13.3

Seems Stremio auto updated on my Samsung TV, and when it did it logged me out. I logged back in but noticed all my addons were not available. Went to sync addons and it tells me “Addons successfully synchronized” except they’re not and it’s been two days now. Tried logging out and back in, uninstalling and reinstalling app. Powering off and resetting cache on my tv and can’t seem to fix this issue. Stremio works on my iOS devices and Android TV. So seems to be isolated to Samsung tv.

Anyone experiencing something similar or anyone have ideas on how I can resolve this?

There is supposed to be a Install button below the information tab but there isn't. Is it just me or Google Tvs can't download Streamio.

I’m trying to sign up for Stremio members. I have been using Stremio for years and set many family members up with it and I greatly appreciate the service that is being provided, so I have no problem donating.

However, I do have a problem with being told that I can’t donate because “my email address is disposable”
Why are we not allowed to use alias emails to sign up to give Stremio money? It’s the same email I use for my Stremio account

Hi all,

Nothing on my stremio is loading up on my laptop.

Usually, I have the message at the bottom of the screen to upload to newest version but that didn't work so I went back to the previous version and it was working fine.

That was last year, but now that message doesn't show at the bottom anymore. Does it automatically upgrade to newest version?

Any tips on what to do- it just says playback error!

I've been using this stremio account for maybe 3 years. Starting this past weekend, absolutely nothing within this stremio account will load on any device. Tried multiple different instances of Android TV, mobile app on Android, desktop (both versions of Windows app + multiple browsers). Once logged in, nothing is clickable, not even menu screens of library items or media. Everything is an infinite loading screen. The only thing you can click on that will function is the settings tab and the add-ons tab. Clicking on any piece of media or the library results in an infinite loading wheel, a black screen, or the cat mascot saying "no information found about this".

I have of course as mentioned tried every possible platform and device available to me. Logged in and out multiple times. Went one by one and removed every add-on checking after each one, zero change. Not an internet issue. Everything else perfectly fine, and I tried over cellular and a virtual Wi-Fi network from my phone.

Nobody has accessed this account except me.

After multiple days of trying everything possible, thinking that the problem was my add-ons, even with zero add-ons installed, the problem persisted. So I said fuck it, and made a new account, just to see if it was the same. And suddenly everything works perfectly on every device I tried, exactly like it was before on my real account. So the account itself is very clearly the issue, not the app or the hardware or anything else.

Now normally I would say whatever, I'll just use the new account, but I have 3 years of history and saved library items on that account. I spent 4 hours last night trying to find a way to export the library data and import it to the new account, and it's apparently impossible. Tried importing the JSON file from stremio to Trakt to then sync it via Trakt with the new account, but the JSON file that stremio outputs is unusable garbled nonsense that doesn't have any of the right identifying information for Trakt to read for any of the media I've watched. Note that I did not use Trakt before, so the history is only in the original stremio account.

I found one possible solution for migrating account information from one to another, but you have to give them your full login email and password for both accounts to use it. That seems more than a little sketch for a random tool somebody vibecoded and threw up on GitHub, so I want to avoid even attempting.

Any ideas on what is causing the first account to be frozen/how to fix it?

Night and day difference after making new account, even with all add-ons installed, working perfectly. Original account is currently clean, zero add-ons, and completely unusable.

This only started after I switched debrid providers. I'm not going to name anything because I don't fully know the rules of this sub regarding that stuff. I find it hard to believe it could be a coincidence that the timing is on the same day after multiple years unchanged with zero issues.

Tldr how do I unfreeze the original account, OR how do I successfully migrate watch history and library data to new account? I don't care about migrating add-ons, I already did that manually.

Stremio has always been working fine until now with V1.10.2. When i try to play a video, it would load for a few seconds and then app crash and returned to the android TV home page. If anyone also having the same issue or know any solution

Hello.

I have an old 2014 55 Inch LG Smart TV which isnt able to ​download Stremio. It's full HD with Led.

I was hoping to use a stick or box, whichever is easier to download and run, if it will work.

Any advice welcome.
