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.
my playback tunnel was off. I’ll try it on, but can’t test it until early evening. I’ll let you all know if it solves the problem.
Miki, I use fire sticks, I know what you think of them, is the new firestick 4K plus for 12.00 real? What did I read about updates prevent them from side loading? True. Or until I come around will it be an update from my 4K max?
I stopped using Firesticks when I came back from living in Mexico 2 yrs ago. Troy has posted some videos on blocking The Amazon changes. Lots have been successful in following those instructions. But as I no longer use FireOS I can’t verify any of the changes personally. I still have 3 4K Max, but won’t ever use them.
The “new” Firestick 4k plus is just the old 4k. Yes, you can still sideload it (unlike the 4k select). Where have you found it for $12.00???
Well turning on playback tunnel worked great. a lot of annoying things like the stupid cat appearing midway in a show has not happened.
I just tried again with playback tunnel on and Surf Shark–so far so good. As usual, Miki may have saved the day! I’ll check back in a few days because this issue didn’t happen even time, just off and on….D
So you are bypassing the VPN for the app?
No. Inside the settings for Stremio is a tunnelled playback option that has nothing to do with the VPN. I never shut my VPN off.
Tunneled Playback – Primarily for Android TVs, sending the video signal straight to the TV by-passing video drivers etc. Aims to improve 4K, audio sync etc. Hardware Acceleration – offloads video decoding to your graphics card rather than cpu.
Now I’m confused….. Tunneled Playback is a setting in the streaming box?
The setting is not in the steaming box it’s in the Stremio app.
open Stremio.
Click on Settings (far left menu, at the bottom)
Settings when clicked, on opens to the far right,
click on “Playback” in the new settings menu.
make sure Tunneled Playback is on.
I now have my VPN on also and no problem. I hated not having it on, especially for Stremio. All good now. let me know if you need more explicit instructions.
I’m upstairs now with my firestick 4K. Guess what? If SS is on—stupid cat. I turned playback on but that did not fix the VPN issue. Sigh. I hope you have better luck. At least my PCL is fixed.
Curiouser and curiouser, the cat said!
That darn cat has NINE LIVES!
I’ll mess around with it this weekend. I have not tried different Surf Shark connections on the fire stick.
BTW did turning on playback fix Stremio for you?
So far, simply using the VLC external player seems to have cured 90+ of the problem.
I just used an external player, the one I used is just player. Not had any problems since.
Same issue
I had to go to My Fire tv device and force shutdown and restart. Everything started downloading successfully.
I got the same thing and all I did was go to settings and changed the player to external and chose a different one.
