Stremio playing issues.

2026-08-06 20:46 UTC

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.

I’m experiencing this in the Smart TV at home. Both yesterday and today I had to uninstall and install again. I assume clearing cache would work but the Smart TV’s OS is some samsung crap based on Android that I don’t really know what it has or has not, and I can’t find a way to clear cache. It does have a “reinstall” option that does something pretty much instantly but I can’t tell what. It’s faster than an installation and it does not clear data. Maybe the “reinstall” clears cache and if it does, clearing cache would not work. Meanwhile, on a regular android phone it works with no issues.

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.
