Stremio Tech Update #19 – Trakt Scrobbling and VLC on Android TV

Posted on September 1, 2022September 4, 2022 by Alex

We recently released updates for all platforms! Let’s see what changed.

Android TV: (v1.5.6)
– Trakt scrobbling support: Trakt still needs to be configured first on Android Mobile, Desktop or in the user dashboard on our site
– VLC player option: still very experimental, you can currently switch to VLC as the internal player from the video player settings menu – button with gear icon in the video player
– Performance improvements
– Updated translations

Android Mobile: (v1.5.5)
– Fixed translations language list: until now, this list was unable to distinguish between Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil), other languages suffered from this issue too, such as Chinese language variations
– Performance improvements
– Updated translations

Desktop: (v4.4.159)
– Added episode images to new episodes notifications (previously it used the backdrop, not the episode images)
– Performance improvements
– Updated translations

All platforms are currently in the process of auto-updating, the website downloads page will be updated within 24h. If you wish to install now and not wait, you can use this link to see the download options sooner.

Stay tuned as we have many surprises planned for our users!

    Please bring back the imdb cast list in movie info where we can click on a cast name and go to movies they featured in. (android tv)
    Also, the subtitle settings, let it be configurable to only include the languages you are interested in. It takes ages to reach my desired language.
    Also, in the new android tv player, the feature to change screen ration is gone.

      “the subtitle settings, let it be configurable to only include the languages you are interested in. It takes ages to reach my desired language.”

      No, it’s not working like that. I’ll give u a scenario, me and my wife we’r not the same nationality. When she watches something, she want her native language in subtitles, and I in my native one.

      Stremio is made for a lot of people and scenarios, not for only one.

      Thanks 🙏 for this small team of developers and for what they made for us…. And it’s FREE!
      From me, no suggestions or comments about the app.
      It’s perfect as should be because it’s free 🤪
      I’m on Sony TV Bravia 2021 with sound bar JBL. Everything works fine.
      DV+DDP5.1 working normally.
      Thanks again developers team!

    Finally trakt scrobbling, thank you guys. Is there any plans to add option to view trakt liked list and maybe able to sort them to the top?

    I’m glad that trakt scrobbling was added but there seems to be problems with certain movies & shows not scrobbling especially anime (eg: rings of power, death note..). It’s kind of hit and miss so it would be nice if you guys look into that.

    Another thing is while the Library syncs perfectly fine between devices- Playback settings don’t. It’s a hassle customizing all the subtitle and language settings for every device and everytime you logout they’re gone.

    I hope they’ll all get addressed soon as these small quality of life improvements are what actually make users appreciate the service more. Keep up the good work!
