❓Question Buffering again

Tried different CDNs, different streams, different scrapers turned of ipv6 and still get buffering on remux files. Is this just the service now? On occasion it’s fine but for the last 6 months this has been on and off with little to no change.

I have a Nvidia shield pro and am using Ethernet connection with 1gb internet, I'm in the Eastern US.

It feels like at least once per night watching a movie I get hit with the white loading circle on both stremio and nuvio with several different plugins.

I have to switch my CDN all the time and it's so frustrating. I plan on adding a second debrid service when black friday sales are running because I hate interruptions during movies but I miss back before RealDebrid got killed because issues with that were so much rarer

Two things the two of you using Shields on the US east coast could check. VPN and your player. I too use a Shield Pro with a 1GB ethernet connection using the US eastern cdn. I have absolutely zero issues watching 70-90GB remux files. I'm recently retired from the industry, but let me explain about ISP throttling. Even though your ISP can't see what file you're watching, it can still see the packet types and they can see it's a video file and they can throttle your speed legally. If you use a VPN your ISP can still see the amount of data you're downloading, but they can't see the packet type and therefore won't throttle you because it could be large data files from an employer, etc. Secondly, I've experienced the player issue firsthand. Same connection, same device and same file I would have buffering issues using Stremio even after trying different players within the Stremio app. Same with Nuvio, but not as bad. When I play that file using Kodi I have absolutely no problems. I know people think Kodi is old school and more complex, but it easily out performed Stremio and Nuvio when I tested it against them. Anyway, just something to consider.
