I find it's flakey at best. Non functional at worst. I regularly have to disconnect then reconnect my VPN to get it to work. then the torrentio plugin will just uninstall constantly. Half the time it doesn't even find any results. I'm considering going back to a home server if this stupid thing doesn't work. Anyways, any alternatives? I saw that popcorn time seems to be legit now, so that's out.

TIA.

Hmm, having checked “Download first and last pieces first” usually fixes that. e.g. a .mp4 with its moov atom at the end of the file won't stream unless you make sure to download the last part of the file starting out. Just curious which media file type are you referring to that won't stream regardless of having the first/last pieces downloaded?

But either way OP using Stremio + torrentio won't fix that, that's just another torrent client doing a torrent stream. If it won't play mid-stream via qBittorrent it won't play mid-stream in torrentio either.
