Try clearing cache on Fire Stick. Settings/My Fire Tv/Applications/Manage installed applications/Stremio/Clear Cache. Don’t clear Data.
Are you using a VPN or your firestick?
Torrentio blocks VPN IP addresses, you might find one that is not blocked after trial and error, or simply don’t use a VPN if your already using a debrid service.
Or use other add-ons like Aiostreams, Comet, mediafusion, etc
Turn Stremio off, clear the cache, restart your device and it should sync then.
Simply go to the following Torrentio setup page and go down the list and configure each section to your liking. They’re pretty self explanatory.

Hi Miki
Thank you for messaging me back. I have tried to turn off and restart. Cleared cache. Still not showing up on the tv. Not sure why. Should I start over? It took awhile yesterday to go through everything. I had Apollo group tv since 2018. They started 2 yrs ago with bitcoin payments only and is a pain. So I didn’t renew this time. Tired of paying also. Is there anything else I can try before starting over? Please let me know.
Thank you so much

Are you installing Stremio on a TV?
I enjoy old shows and movies. Sometimes Torrentio doesn’t have any links. Is there a good complement addon for Torrentio that could provide more/different links?
There is an app called Old Movies for Android devices. Roku devices have several Oldie apps. Tubi (version 8.8 no ads) has a decent selection of older movie and TV shows. Hope this helps.

Over the last month or so, I’ve had increasing problems using Stremio. The error I get when selecting a stream is “Switching to LibVLC player owing to playback error” followed by “Error code IO, Network Connection Failed”. My network is just fine - this only happens with Stremio, nothing else. Never, ever had this before the last month but it’s afflicting 90% of links. I’ve tried restarting the firestick (4k Max, Gen 2 - happens on three of them), signing out and back in to Stremio, deleting Stremio and re-installing it, trying several versions of Stremio (from 1.5.9 to the current 1.7.4).
Anybody else getting this error?
Miki: Please don’t merge this thread with the Stremio How To installation thread as the question is not related to installing Stremio. Thanks!
Could be related to Torrentio blocking certain VPN IP addresses. Try different location in VPN or turn VPN off,

Trouble is, I’m suppose to keep all similar threads on like topics and this is about Stremio. I use Stremio daily and don’t have those issues. Try going into the settings and enabled tunneled playback and see if that helps.

Yes, tried it without VPN (SurfShark) - still get the same error.
What addons are you using?

I get the same thing when I’m trying to connect to some of the TV sources while others, for the same channel, connect no problem. If I remember correctly it’s just with the TV sources and the addon is USA TV. Tried all sorts of ‘fixes’ but without any success.
I get the error with both live TVchannels (USAtv) and VOD (Torrentio, MediaFusion, Comet, Scootio - all with or without RD). I’m trying with the external VLC player option and will report back tomorrow.
@sktn77a This happens to me ALL THE TIME on my Buzz TV P6L.
Stremio does not seem to work for me with Surf Shark on. Of course it is not advised to use Stremio without a VPN, but it won’t work with it on and I tried different countries and protocols.
Make sure you have Real Debrid or Premiumize to get multiple good links, that helps. You can be sure to set up one of these (RD or P) with the latest Stremio update videos from Troy (Ultimate Stremio set up video). Although I can still get that stupid cartoon cat and the LibVLC warning.
I do know using VLC tends to work but Max Pro player does not, at least often does not. This was happening often before I updated Stremio and employed Troy’s update video and started again since the update. It means I sometimes have to go through 8 links before one works. You have the best chance with 720 links and PirateBay.
I don’t know why it happens and would love a fix. @Miki has the same P6L as I do, I wonder why it never happens to him?
Anyway thank you for the topic. Here are my fixes, although they are not ideal. My hope is that because my wifi comes from T-Mobile, I’m less at risk from the men in black by using torrent files. A least that is what I tell myself.
Did you try using Stremio with SurfShark on but the cleanweb feature turned off?
Speaking only for me, I’ve never had clean web on.
When it works, it works fine with SS and Cleanweb. So far, VLC player has helped a lot (SS/CW on). I’ll keep updating this thread for a couple more days .
I can’t figure out for the life of me why my P6L runs stremio differently. I have no problems at all. I do use the Tunneled playback option that Troy refers to and have forever.
