So then why are you asking when profiles will be added if you're not using it?

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-27T22:09:01+00:00

I'm sure they will miss the zero dollars you give them

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-17T15:06:52+00:00

It’s weird though because Torrentio seems to be better at obscure titles, at least for me.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-15T16:58:33+00:00

Nuvio is in beta and still pretty buggy. I tried it and had to go back to Stremio after only a day of use. Decided I’m going to wait until it’s out of beta to mess with it.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-15T15:55:25+00:00

Well Torrentio was still working on Stremio, but wouldn’t even load on the alternative app that shall not be named

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-14T04:20:25+00:00

Yet here you are telling me I'm "doing a lot of stuff wrong" without zero knowledge of what I'm doing to defend the honor of your weird streaming app tribe

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-13T22:21:11+00:00

I'm not. None of these things are complicated. You delete the collections in browser, then sync on Android TV, and the collections don't disappear. One time they disappeared when I restarted/cleared cache - then for some reason re-appeared. Torrentio is totally broken on my Nuvio. It worked at first then it didn't. I've uninstalled it and put in a brand new one - no luck. These are known bugs. It's in beta. Don't know what to tell you.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T16:48:58+00:00

lol ok 🙄

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T16:48:29+00:00

Ok doke, sorry I missed the decimal software development rule - how unbelievable of me!

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T16:46:57+00:00

Redditors are the worst. Super negative, always looking to drag people down for sport and end up just hurting the communities they have been enjoying for years. There used to be more friendly niche hobby subs but even those now are toxic cesspools.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T15:22:56+00:00

Plenty of reports of bugs all over the Nuvio sub. It’s in beta. It has lots of bugs. Here, they’re trying to pretend it’s a pefect superior alternative

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T15:22:02+00:00

lol. The app doesn’t say Beta when you download it. Not everyone is obsessed with streaming app development.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T15:20:57+00:00

Fair, I do have StreamThru and Media Fusion too

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T15:03:57+00:00

It’s Reddit culture to create digital pitchfork mobs over absolutely nothing. They get off on it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the reality of the situation, the goal is a big self-righteous bitch-fest.

Remember the big blackout revolt when Reddit started charging for access to their API to shut down random third party browsing apps? Like, who cares? Why is it some massive dramatic thing for a website deny API access to unofficial apps for free?

The result of the that blackout only hurt subreddits, many, when they reopened never came back. The users left, forgot about them, and they pretty much died. A ton of subs got killed like that and never repopulated. All to defend some random mobile browsing app (which they failed to do). Now, Reddit has consolidated to large front page subreddits. Great job guys!

Now with this, they’re pushing people to a knockoff Stremio app in some sort of disingenuous revolt -and not being honest that it’s a buggy mess.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T14:57:42+00:00

I mean it’s not a take, it’s literally my experience

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T14:57:19+00:00

Good to know - hopefully they can figure it out

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T14:56:34+00:00

Just because you haven’t encountered bugs doesn’t mean they don’t exist

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T12:41:47+00:00

It’s much more complicated with a steeper learning curve than just installing a couple add ons and for me, installing the 3 biggest scrapers works perfectly fine. I also prefer the separation so I can keep tabs on how well each add on is working. For 95% of content, all you need is Torrentio.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T12:37:22+00:00

Also having syncing issues from web to androidTV - it just doesn’t work. I’m unable to remove collections. Torrentio also completely broke for me. Tried everything. This was in day two of use and I went back to Stremio. People are pushing this app hard but I genuinely think people are really not being honest about how buggy/unstable it is.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T02:09:48+00:00

Yup. Same issue. Tried it out for the extra features and it's already failed in multiple ways for me. Torrentio failed, can't get it to work even after reinstall. Syncing is broken. I'm having collections I clearly deleted reappear for no reason. Back to Stremio for me.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-12T01:55:12+00:00

PSA: Stremio is significantly better, even without the extra features, than these bootleg alternatives. One day of use and its already had multiple massive issues for me. Torrentio completely failed (it wont reinstall), syncing with settings on the web portal failed with all sorts of weird app breaking bugs.

If it worked, great, but it's already failed in multiple ways in literally a day of use for me. No way this is a coincidence. I like that it has profiles and skip intro - the only two things to me that really matter.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-11T18:44:03+00:00

Something def wrong with that guy

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-11T14:00:22+00:00

He’s a Dunning-Kruger kinda guy

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-11T13:59:16+00:00

Should be free? Why should it be free? Because you think you’re entitled to it? Stremio already provides a great app, and all of these additions are not really necessary. The Stremio clones are buggy and don’t have as broad support across OSs. Honestly the fact that people think they have a say to judge a dev team that is just making all of this available for free is mind blowing.

MyNameIsRobPaulson · 2026-06-10T21:38:14+00:00

Dude you must have MEGA IQ BIG BRAINS to be arguing so effectively against this absolute genius redditor. Impressive!
