Posted on July 14, 2021July 14, 2021 by Tomek

It’s been a while since our last Tech Update, here’s what changed:

Android App

  • Improved General Performance
  • Improved Chromecast Casting (you can now cast any video without missing audio or video)
  • Filenames Are Now Passed to External Video Players (such as VLC, which can now find subtitles for videos too based on filename)
  • Added a Setting to Allways Play in External Player
  • Fixed the Movies of some Addons (such as “The Movie Database Addon”, it would not show any streams for this addon before)
  • Long Pressing Continue Watching Items Now Displays an Options Menu
  • Added Streams Loading Indicator (as the Desktop app has)
  • Fixed an Issue That Caused Stremio to Close When Playing in External Player or Chromecast for Extended Periods
  • Fixed an Issue Where External Subtitles Would Show Over Embedded Subtitles

Desktop App

  • Video Filenames are Now Passed to External Video Players
  • Increased Values of Default Torrent Engine Settings (torrents should download faster now)
  • Fixed an Issue that Sometimes Caused the Last Day in The Calendar to Not Show Entries
  • Fixed an Issue Where Some Torrents Would Not Download Correctly
  • Added a Setting that Allows Always Closing the App When Pressing the Window “X” Button (instead of keeping the app in the OS Tray)
  • Added a New Video Player Button (Gear Icon, bottom right of the video player) that Includes the Following Options: Download Video, Watch on VLC / MPV, Copy Magnet Link
  • Fixed an Issue Where the Selected Poster Would Show Above the Search Pop-Up Menu

  • Support for Using the Trackers from Torrent Files (when a torrent file is dragged & dropped in Stremio, or opened with Stremio)
  • Fixed a Navigation Issue When Going Back From Board or Search
