Any time you pause it or rewind it or sneeze it throws the "EXO failed to play this video" error.

That's WHEN it decides to play sound.

I noticed they said they aren't worried about fixing it on github??

What is going on here?

I'm using a shield tv pro and it acts like this on my gaming PC too always freezing and making me force shut it down.

Did something happen with stremio lately?

Edit: anyone know of any viable alternatives that don't require learning hours of self hosting stuff like Jellyfin?

Okay self hosting means you use an old laptop or raspberry Pi to run a server with all the movies and TV series and stuff right?

You don't have to have a second PC, although that is the most common method. My Raspberry Pi 4 is not powerful enough for the quality I watch at so I use it as a Navidrome server for music and have Jellyfin running on my main PC instead. Ideally, I would have another mini PC for Jellyfin but my setup still works fine currently. It's just a bit clumsier and uses more power.

My question is, how do you get these movies and TV series and stuff if you self host?

Through P2P file sharing like torrenting.

My main PC is slow enough already and I don't have a 2nd PC, I think I'll save money to get one. Until then, I'll use Stremio, thanks for answering!
