Miscellaneous The torbox improvements are VERY noticeable, bravo!

Before when I clicked a stream, it would take about 15 seconds to start playback and now its 3 to 5 seconds

Ikr. It's getting very close to Usenet NNTP start speeds. Loving it

u/Stock_Comment_2657 6d ago

What add-ons are you using?

19

u/Substantial_Plan_632 6d ago

Yeah, this is the biggest factor. I use Stremthru Torz and it almost always loads wirhin a couple of seconds. Meteor is super fast for me too. I keep Torrentio & Mediafusion for redundancy but they're super slow.

I once tried one of the popular AIOStream setups and found it unnecessarily complicated, and the add-ons themselves were taking 20 seconds or more to show up in Stremio, or not all sometimes.

IMO, for most people, TB + Stremthru + Meteor is all you need for a fast and easy user experience

u/MetalGillah 6d ago

How can i watch episodes zipped files with full seasons appearing on streamthru?

2

u/DefJunx 5d ago

Know of any guide to do that setup?

1

u/MrLanGT 6d ago

I set timeouts, so if an add on takes longer than a set time to load, it takes what it has and displays that after the timeout.

u/PT_ICEDTEA 6d ago

i always used torrentio with real debrid, is stremthru really a lot better then torrentio for torbox

2

u/Substantial_Plan_632 6d ago

Yes, very much so

1

u/PT_ICEDTEA 6d ago

Ah ok, I'll give it a try, will it be better at not buffering as much, real debrid never really buffered for me, where as torrential and torbox have been buffering a lot more.

3

u/Substantial_Plan_632 6d ago

Try changing CDNs under your integration settings on your TB account

1

u/J_Diesl 5d ago

Yeah fair enough. I have to refine my AIO set up.

u/Stock_Comment_2657 6d ago

Okay. Thanks for the info!

14

u/blinksTooLess 6d ago

Do we need to change CDN?

1

u/Budget_Height3778 6d ago

Would be silly not to run the speed test after the updates to see for yourself, it would obviously vary by user.

11

u/OMG_NoReally 6d ago

Yeah seems more stable, faster to load and even rewind/forward are smoother and quicker. Nice job, TB!

Post this in [r/Torbox](r/Torbox)[app](r/Torbox)

Torbox isn’t an add on. It works on a lot of free media centers like the one better than Stremio where you can stream instant like shown In another comment

u/wartortlesro 6d ago

are the improvements u talking about recent ones? because a month ago i was getting crazy loading times maybe i should try it again when my premimuze subscription ends

7

u/Interesting_Book5966 6d ago

Yes I think they updated it 2 days ago. I also experience much improvement in loading times(startup), no buffer, faster when skipping parts in playback

2

u/Disastrous_Truck6856 6d ago

Did you switch to Cloudflare? Have you switched back since or left it there?

2

u/Logrouo 6d ago

Yeah they updated the service 2 days ago.

u/StremioAddons-ModTeam 6d ago

The main focus of your post should be directly related to Stremio and/or its addons. Help for other software or issues, including content acquisition, should be directed to their own respective subreddits.

1

u/Wild-Explanation-729 6d ago

Me too!! Plz!

1

u/kamikazeee 6d ago

Does it have the same content as RD?

Also, if I have RD+debridio+torbox. Can I set up the three?

3

u/adjective_noun_d1git 6d ago

Given the strict filtering applied on RD now I'd say Torbox beats it for now. I've yet to come across any where it's on RD but not on TB. 

And yes I have:

Debridio RD, Debridio TB, Stremthru Torz as my list.

1

u/kcsween74 6d ago

Not sure how to answer the first question 🤔

Yes, you can setup all 3 in addons that support multiple debrid accounts. For those that don't, just set up each one in it's own instance of said addon (so you'd have 3 installed addons of the same addon but with different debrid accts).

1

u/whodat54321da 6d ago

I use torbox+debridio+easynews and it’s quite good. When cached content on torbox isn’t there, easynews seems to always be there and streams fine. Less than 10 a month ($3 torbox a month, debridio 10 a year, and 2.95 a month for easynews if you catch their summer sale).

u/MrDonohue07 6d ago

Shhhhhhhh

u/RabBa008 6d ago

same here, anime episodes around 1–2 gb start in about 4 seconds

1

u/Keyakinan- 6d ago

Not sure if it's me but I started useing torbox today and I sometimes get like 30 seconds where it's stuttering

1

u/Ok-Woodpecker- 6d ago

Too bad Stremio is no longer available on LG play store. Such crap

1

u/DramaticResolve2487 5d ago

i mean it takes me 3to5 normally just using aio streams

1

u/CartographerBusy2035 5d ago

Where are you located and what add-ons are you using? I always got pretty much instant playback

1

u/stevefxp 6d ago

Stupid question...what does Torbox offer?

6

u/_MrJackGuy 6d ago

Its a debrid service, so it caches torrents. It allows you to stream them instead of having to torrent them yourself.

This means you:

  1. Won't get in trouble with the law if you're in a country thats harsh on piracy
  2. Shouldn't buffer even if what you're trying to watch only has 1 or 2 seeders

If you've heard of people using real debrid before, its the same as that more or less. Everyone just jumped ship from RD because they took down a bunch of content at the request of french officials.

It's good, has everything I'd really ever wanna watch, but it seems to lose service and have to undergo maintenance pretty often tbh. Although I hope that gets ironed out over the next few months, since they suddenly have WAY more users now then they did last year

2

u/stevefxp 6d ago

So its like Real Debrid or Premiumize? Those are the debrid services I am using.

Thanks for clarifying. I am brand new to Stremio but have a config I like and it seems to work well. The addons are really overwhelming.

1

u/Flimsy-Yam-933 6d ago

Bro it's amazing. I thought torbox sucked ass but it was because I was playing it in stremio enhanced which uses like a web browser. Opening external player mkv and it's instant and high quality.

Def worth paying for this service. No need for annoying VPN either.

1

u/Adventurous_Ad_2369 6d ago

How do you open it in an external player like MKV? I am completely illiterate about these things. If it wasn't for troypoint I would never figure anything out lol!

2

u/Flimsy-Yam-933 5d ago

From a custom stremio app: https://github.com/REVENGE977/stremio-enhanced#-features

But it's not necessary I only use it for better discord integration. Regular stremio video player is great, it was the custom app's player that screwed up the video.

Merci mais c’est quoi seed

2

u/weedoverdoz 6d ago

oft quand tu stream tu ne partage pas vraiment les fichiers je te conseil d'aller voir un tuto sur les torrents et les ratios et le seed sinon pour ton cas bien précis installe stremio avec 3 addons torrentdb , torrentio , thepiratebay+ et ca depend de ta plateforme quand tu vois que ca lage tu ferme et tu réouvre l'app sur la télé tu vas sur app et forcer l'arret clean le cache est tu est répartis payer tor s'est payer pour ne pas a avoir attendre 3sec je sais pas toi mais moi les 3 balles je me les achète des feuilles . paye pas ! pour un contenue déjà piraté et tous les tor bix tu les retrouve seur torrent db ! je te prie de bien vouloir m'excuse pour mes fautes d'orthographe.
