Any time you pause it or rewind it or sneeze it throws the “EXO failed to play this video” error.

That’s WHEN it decides to play sound.

I noticed they said they aren’t worried about fixing it on github??

What is going on here?

I’m using a shield tv pro and it acts like this on my gaming PC too always freezing and making me force shut it down.

Did something happen with stremio lately?

Edit: anyone know of any viable alternatives that don’t require learning hours of self hosting stuff like Jellyfin?

    It’s notoriously bad through TV if you’re running through there. I have VLC installed on TV and through the stremio settings, playback, default player - set to external. Since using VLC I have had so many less issues. I haven’t had any issues on device, but I don’t use it much there. Having said that, once I also had to refresh my API key and cleared the cache for good measure and that also helped.

    Hope it helps you!
