Troubleshooting


No streams appearing

Symptom: Stream list is empty when selecting a title.

  1. Confirm addons are installed — go to ⚙️ Settings → Addons and verify your addons are listed and active
  2. Verify your TorBox API key — go to torbox.app/settings?section=account and confirm the key matches what was entered in the Bootstrapper. If it has been regenerated, re-run the Bootstrapper with the new key.
  3. Test with a popular, recent title first — niche content may have fewer sources
  4. Check TorBox service status — occasional maintenance may temporarily affect availability

Buffering or playback interruption

Symptom: Video begins playing but pauses or stops.

  1. Select a lower-quality stream — choose a smaller file (e.g. 1080p WEB-DL instead of 4K REMUX)
  2. Try an alternative stream from the same list — performance can vary between sources

Bootstrapper changes not appearing in Stremio

Symptom: Addons are not visible after running the Bootstrapper.

  1. Wait 30–60 seconds, then log out and back in to the Stremio app to force a sync
  2. Confirm the Bootstrapper was authenticated with the correct Stremio account
  3. Re-run the Bootstrapper — it is safe to repeat

TorBox API key not working

Symptom: The Bootstrapper or a TorBox addon rejects the API key.

  1. Ensure the complete key was copied — check for leading or trailing spaces
  2. Log in to torbox.app/settings?section=account and confirm the key shown matches what you're using
  3. Click Get New API Key to generate a fresh one, then re-run the Bootstrapper
