- Backup Config: Save your add-on list somewhere
Reddit Pro Tips:
“Less is more. I use 5 add-ons total: Torrentio, RPDB, Trakt, OpenSubtitles, and Kitsu. Perfect setup.” - u/minimalist_approach (r/StremioAddons)
“Install add-ons gradually. Don’t add 20 at once then wonder why Stremio is slow.” - u/performance_conscious (r/Stremio)
“Keep a text file with your add-on URLs. Makes reinstalling Stremio super fast.” - u/backup_everything (r/StremioAddons)
Troubleshooting Add-ons
Common issues reported on Reddit and their solutions.
”No Streams Found”
Reddit Solutions:
“90% of the time this is fixed by reinstalling the add-on. Just remove it and add it back.” - u/it_support_reddit (r/StremioAddons)
Steps
- Check add-on status at status.dinsden.top
- Verify internet connection
- Reinstall the add-on
- Try a different add-on
- Check if content is region-locked
”Slow Add-on Loading”
Reddit Solutions:
“If Torrentio takes forever, try Comet. If both are slow, it’s your internet or Stremio cache.” - u/speed_troubleshooter (r/StremioAddons)
Steps
- Clear Stremio cache (Settings > Advanced > Clear cache)
- Reduce number of active add-ons
- Try a faster add-on (Comet vs Torrentio)
- Check your network speed
- Restart Stremio
”Add-on Suddenly Stopped Working”
Reddit Solutions:
“Check Reddit first. If an add-on breaks, someone posts about it within 30 minutes.” - u/reddit_first_responder (r/StremioAddons)
Steps
- Check r/StremioAddons for announcements
- Visit status.dinsden.top
- Check add-on developer’s GitHub/Discord
- Try reinstalling with updated URL
- Switch to alternative add-on temporarily
”Duplicate Streams”
Reddit Solutions:
“If you see the same stream listed 50 times, you probably have multiple add-ons providing the same sources. Remove redundant add-ons.” - u/duplicate_detective (r/StremioAddons)
Fix: Keep only one primary streaming add-on (Torrentio OR Comet, not both)

Frequently Asked Questions (Reddit Edition)
Real questions from Reddit, answered by the community.
Q: “How many add-ons is too many?”
“I keep it under 10. More than that and Stremio starts feeling sluggish. Quality over quantity.” - u/performance_optimizer (r/StremioAddons)
Q: “Do I really need Real-Debrid?”
“If you want 4K, yes. If you’re okay with 720p and occasional buffering, no. But honestly, just get RD. It’s €3/month. Skip one coffee.” - u/reality_check_rd (r/StremioAddons)
Q: “Why aren’t my streams loading?”
“Check status.dinsden.top first. Then restart Stremio. Then reinstall the add-on. This fixes 95% of issues.” - u/troubleshooting_veteran (r/StremioAddons)
Q: “Can I use Stremio without add-ons?”
“Technically yes, but you won’t have any content. Stremio is a platform; add-ons provide the content.” - u/platform_explainer (r/Stremio)
Q: “Are add-ons safe?”
“Stick to well-known add-ons from r/StremioAddons recommendations. Avoid random add-ons from sketchy websites. Read reviews first.” - u/safety_conscious (r/StremioAddons)
Q: “Which is better: Torrentio or Comet?”
“Torrentio has more sources. Comet is faster. Use both if you want the best of both worlds.” - u/addon_comparisons (r/StremioAddons)
Q: “How do I update add-ons?”
“Most add-ons update automatically. If one stops working, just remove and reinstall with the latest URL.” - u/update_helper (r/Stremio)
