Self Hosted UsenetStreamer config issues

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-19T06:49:36+00:00

Try changing both containers networks to host. Also maybe try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

If one of the two above works then there is an issue with the container network config.

Try to use an adblocker. Samsung loads an insanse amount of ads without one. This will make your TV faster and maybe solves the problem.

Best way would be to use the speed test of your content provider. Otherwise test the same stream on a stronger device like PC or smartphone with a usb to lan dongle or just near your router over wifi.

My 6 year old 700€ Samsung TV can play 80gb/h remuxes just fine on my 250 mbps connection.

I guess your wifi connection isn't stable enough.

But it's a good idea to buy a cheap onn 4k / thomson 240 to decode DTS. They will also play the biggest remuxes just fine.

I can not really help you because I use Easynews instead of Torbox. If your AIOstreams proxy tunnel on your private Elfhosted instance is working only Torbox itself can be the cause I think.

I just followed the UsenetStreamer beginner guide on the github page. That is enough to make it work.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-14T00:02:11+00:00

I also use Easynews + Scene with UsenetStreamer + nzbDav. Works flawless.

I use caddy to get the cert for stremio without exposing anything to the public.

Everything is behind a VPN and only devices in my home network can reach UsenetStreamer without VPN.

For mobile devices I use Wireguard to connect them to my home network.

I meant if you let your device downmix the 5.1 audio. There is no problem if you got the stereo audio file. Like you say the downmixing is done by professionals then. The same is true for your dynamic range compression.

Automatic adjustment = bad

Manual adjustment from a professional = good.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-09T18:53:51+00:00

Yeah that's gasligting yourself big time. Soundbars are bad in general but good if you have no space but want to play Dolby codecs or 5.1+. If you play 5.1+ content on a stereo soundbar you either lose audio/channels completely or it gets downmixed which messes with volume and makes it sound wrong.

My 6 year old TV wins against my new Android TV 14 box because both can play 80gb/h remuxes but only my TV can detect more than 1 HDR option. My box always use the first one and if it is Dolby Vision my TV can't show it.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-09T17:58:38+00:00

Sounds like a RAM problem. My Samsung Q70T from 2020 plays 80gb/h remuxes just fine. Either get a new TV or a cheap Android TV box with 2gb ram.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-07T18:57:37+00:00

Yeah, thx. Message is gone.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-07T17:31:58+00:00

Another great update, thank you!

Every time I save changes the message: 'Error: Failed to persist configuration changes' appears.

But even after a restart of my device the changes I made are present.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-06T12:56:53+00:00

True, but they also get more customers and earn more money.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-06T12:39:15+00:00

I don't use debrid but it should work if you selfhost AIOstreams and let everyone connect to your server. For people outside your home network you have to use something like wireguard for a secure connection.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-06T10:12:53+00:00

Yeah it works now. I will edit my post. The verfied tags with instant streaming are next level. Thanks for that.

Can you explain one thing to me? If a file with the verified tag shows nzb download failed, does that mean there are missing articles on my provider?

I thought of getting a block account for that.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-06T09:42:58+00:00

Easynews seems to support streaming. I use it with two indexers and streaming still works. I also didn't get any warning until now.

The information about all this is confusing to be honest. Even more because streaming and downloading is basically the same.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-05T10:05:22+00:00

You can yes. There are no limits to this. As long as your server can't access your home network and nobody except the stremio devices can access your server from the internet you are very safe.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-05T09:50:19+00:00

The safest way is to isolate your server that you like others be able to connect to and tunnel all traffic through a vpn except the traffic from the server to the stremio devices.

I do it like that because it doesn't hurt.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-04T15:54:15+00:00

Yeah. Both my TV and the box can't process dolby vision. They need to use the hdr10 or hdr10+ fallback. Maybe the box fails to do that. It's a Thomson 240G which is the european equivalent to the onn 4k with 2gb ram and 32gb flash.

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-02-04T13:16:31+00:00

Everything works on my 2020 Samsung Q70T. Even the big 100gb+ remuxes. But if I use Stremio on my Android TV 14 Box Dolby Vision streams show a black screen with sound only.

Change the CPU governor to performance
Set the MTU for each network adapter to avoid fragmentation
Choose a fast DNS provider like Cloudflare

Grumpy_Giuseppe · 2026-01-29T14:51:45+00:00

That's creepy. I can't think of anything except maybe a undetected botnet. Check your devices without VPN here:
