To make Stremio work better, there are several steps you can take. I will explain each one in detail:
1. Check your antivirus software: Some antivirus programs may classify Stremio as dubious software, which can prevent it from functioning properly. To resolve this, you can try adding Stremio to the whitelist or exceptions list in your antivirus software. This will allow Stremio to run without interference.
2. Set DNS resolution: Sometimes, issues with DNS resolution can affect the performance of streaming applications like Stremio. You can try changing your DNS settings to a more reliable option, such as Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220). This can help improve the speed and stability of Stremio.
3. Check the VPN: If you are using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) while using Stremio, it could be causing connectivity or performance issues. Try disabling the VPN temporarily and see if Stremio works better without it. If that’s the case, you may need to configure your VPN settings or switch to a different VPN provider that is more compatible with streaming applications.
4. Update your video card (GPU) drivers: Outdated or incompatible GPU drivers can cause problems with Stremio, such as video playback issues or crashes. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card. You can visit the manufacturer’s website to download and install the most recent drivers.
5. Update your operating system: Keeping your operating system up to date is important for the overall performance and compatibility of applications like Stremio. Check for any available updates for your operating system and install them. This can help resolve any underlying issues that may be affecting Stremio’s performance.
In my personal experience, updating the GPU drivers and the operating system has often resolved issues with Stremio. Additionally, ensuring that your antivirus software is not interfering with Stremio and optimizing your DNS settings can also greatly improve its performance.
Remember, these steps are general troubleshooting measures, and the effectiveness may vary depending on your specific setup and configuration. If the issues persist, you may want to reach out to Stremio’s support team for further assistance.
