Hey everyone,

I recently switched over to Debrify from Stremio/Nuvio because I was getting tired of constant lagging and buffering issues. Performance-wise, Debrify completely fixed the problem. the streams load instantly and play flawlessly on my TCL C6K TV, which is amazing.

However, using the TV app with a remote control feels like a massive step backward compared to Stremio’s sleek interface. The current layout feels really messy and disorganized on a big screen.

A few major things that would make the Debrify TV app a killer experience if fixed:

• Add to Library Feature: We desperately need a proper "Add to Library" or watchlist feature directly on the TV interface to track what we're watching. Trying to manage content right now with a D-pad is a headache. Stremio handles library management perfectly; replicating that ease of use on TV would be huge.
• Messy TV UI & Alignment: The poster grids, text details, and overall alignments look all over the place on a television screen. A cleaner, more polished, and modern TV layout would go a long way.
• Search Filters for TV (Size & Resolution): The search results are completely flooded right now. When I search for a movie on the TV app, I only want high-quality, high-resolution links. Instead, I get a massive wall of mixed results that I have to scroll through with a remote. We really need an easy way to filter out unwanted results, or at the very least, a filter to restrict links by file size.

Debrify has the backend performance and speed down perfectly, but the front-end TV app makes it tough to use as a daily driver. Hoping the devs can look into polishing the TV UX and adding these essential remote-friendly filters!

What do you guys think? Anyone else struggling to navigate the clutter on Android TV/Fire TV?

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a really frustrating buffering issue with Stremio + TorBox on my TCL C6K TV, and I’m trying to figure out where the bottleneck is.

Here is the breakdown of the situation:

• The Issue: Large video files buffer constantly on the TV. I can’t even watch a 15GB file without issues. Meanwhile, on my PC, it's okay. It's not perfect, but it's totally watchable and doesn't get the kind of constant buffering the TV gets. I can usually watch 100GB videos normally on the PC.
• Internet Speed: I tested the speed directly on the TV, and it gets around 100 Mbps, which is exactly what my PC gets (sometimes the PC speed is actually a bit lower, yet it performs better). So, we can't blame the internet connection.
• TV Hardware: I don't think it's a weak TV processor either, because when I play high-bitrate files locally via Jellyfin, everything plays flawlessly with zero lag.
• External Players Tried: I tried using external players to fix the buffering, but VLC just crashes, and JustPlayer also has issues and doesn't solve it.
• The Difference: I noticed that on the PC app, there is a clear buffering/caching progress bar line that fills up, but I don’t see this at all on the Android TV Stremio app.

Is the Stremio Android TV app just poorly optimized for caching, or is there a setting I’m missing? Has anyone dealt with this and found a way to make it stable?

Appreciate any help!
