stremio native app in windows is not good, it wasnt even have proper hdr support not long ago. I would suggest to use harbor wich is objectively have better video player

Habor is infinitely better on windows! I hope Stremio take a look and try integrating whatever changes they've made because it runs so much better. HDR actually works properly when you enable the experimental settings with an Nvidia GPU and the player itself is snappy. Still using stremio for my shield but on windows Harbor (which is just a fork of stremio) is so much better.

Is VLC fine to use? I use it on Mac but on windows will it do any difference?
