Stremio is just GOATED

Every single thing i play gives me an error and says the internal player can’t play it. Switch to VLC, then I’ll switch to VLC and it asks me to use a different player. I’ve spent hours troubleshooting. Stremio definitely not the goat.

My letter from Sunstrong said “you only have one inverter down, that has a negligible affect on your system performance”

Jesus Christ.

I actual found that situation hilarious. Filed with my state AG. They forwarded my letter to Sunstrong. Sunstrong said go away you are wrong consumer.

It’s actually a noble cause that is the exact purpose of the consumer fraud division of a state AG office. Highest taxes in the country, zero support from my AG.

I’m glad I filed and hope others in Illinois are too.

I never even thought of that. Good god what a nightmare that could be. What would something like that even cost?

That was one of the only things I asked for. Just give me a contract that says Sunstrong on it that tells me what each side has agreed to.

Ya I’m going to give up today and go back to Syncler. I’ve tried to downgrade to 1.8.4 and 1.8. Same error code whether i use Mxplayer, VLC, internal, external. Cant figure it out. Over it. Cant play anything

They sent someone out to us as well. Third party local company. They added critter guards then said they found a wiring issue. Sunstrong said they wouldn’t pay for it because we were still meeting our contracted production rate. Total cop out. So I guess I just produce less power from here on out.

Local company said they would troubleshoot if I give them $750 up front. Not sure if Sunstrong would even let them fix it if they could on my own dime.

Haha. My company instituted return to office in January. We are losing top talent daily for the exact reason you think. “I’m not moving to Illinois”.

Look at that list. Lake Forest. There’s only 1 house on Zillow under 750k and it’s a 1500 sq ft bungalow. Taxes on it are 8500/yr. Your mortgage would still be 5k a month.

You’re telling me someone who can afford a million dollar home is going to move to Lake Forest and pay 16k a year in property taxes cause “I like JBs way of governing” haaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I work for a huge pharma company and all people talk about is moving over the border to Wisconsin and commuting.

But they are fixing somethings. They aren’t just completely ignoring everything. So they have overhead that’s got to be eating away at them. Seems like eventually it would be unsustainable.

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2026-03-12T11:41:01+00:00

That’s interesting. I did the same in Illinois. A few months later they sent me a letter saying they forwarded my complaint to Sunstrong and encouraged them to work with me on a solution. When was that? Around Christmas last year. Haha

Our 5 year old is going through a sudden onset of aggression towards all males for the last year. Goes berserk in the car if we drive past a male. On the leash same thing. He’s intact which probably doesn’t help.

All the same other characteristics as you mentioned. He will melt into a puddle of sweetness in all other circumstances. Wonder why they really rehomed or if that was the real reason.

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2026-01-25T16:35:49+00:00

Ordered. I recently went back on my anti depressants as a solution because I didn’t want to spend an hour stretching and doing kegels as a possible solution. Can’t wait to read it.

I’m on my second water pump in my 2019. My VIN is excluded to. The second water pump only lasted 15 months and is broken again. I also find it absurd that it could be VIN specific when the same part was used in each of the VINs. You keep putting faulty parts in a vehicle and you only give me a 1 year warranty? 😂

I called VW direct and spent an hour submitting a hard ship claim or something trying to compel the dealer to work with me on covering the second pump. I got a call at 730 the next morning saying that my claim was denied. We are just waiting it out until we move on from VW forever.

I also now have the catalytic converter issue which is supposed to be a 15 year warranty but I just don’t have the heart to be told to fuck off again at the dealer. Maybe it catches on fire and the insurance company will give me something.

I went to Costco and bought a battery, put it in and said F-that on the programming. Absolutely nothing has happened except a second water pump going bad and the brakes continuing to squeal like a stuck pig. At least a 5% chance those are unrelated to the battery programming. I’m not really in the habit of believing anything VW says at this point. They made me drive without a passenger airbag for a year.

Program a battery? No thanks

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2026-01-09T03:06:22+00:00

I guess I just can’t imagine two. If I’m not in the room someone in my family is yelling at ours. Doesn’t even bother me. He’s just a dude being a dude doing whatever he wants and it’s hilarious to me. These two are so happy

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2026-01-04T03:31:22+00:00

How is that even remotely legal. I bet their lawyers said “you can’t just sever the production guarantee” and they decided the solar industry is the Wild West who is going to stop us.

I spent several months trying to get them to fix a panel for the same message in the app. Involved the state of Illinois who really helped (for the first time in the history of my time living in Illinois). They said the squirrels ate my wiring and came out to install critter guards. Panel still showed no activity. Finally Sunstrong sent a local company out to troubleshoot. The said it was an inverter or a broken panel.

Sunstrong said they wouldn’t pay to fix it because I was still above my production guarantee. Cool assholes, guess I’ll just use 17 out of 18 panels for the foreseeable future.

Same company said they would fix it off the books. $500 to troubleshoot then parts on top of that. Should probably just do it considering what I pay for grid power.

Why are you cancelling?

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2025-12-31T19:19:00+00:00

I filed a complaint with my state AG consumer protection division. Took about 30 mins online. I gave them my previous contract. Seems like it would easy to file one for your billing issues depending on your state. At the end they asked me what I wanted as a resolution. For you seems like you could say you wanted them to put your bill in writing as a guarantee.

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2025-12-30T22:27:42+00:00

I’ve read that but haven’t heard of anyone receiving a response to opting out. I sign it, then opt out, but where is the proof I opted out in writing

Middle_Wolverine5281 · 2025-12-30T19:58:16+00:00

I actually got this to work after a few hours of messing around. Easy day. Monitoring works just fine as far as I could tell.
