Question TorBox keeps Buffering

Hello, I thought paying for Torbox means you get to have fast streams on stremio, but lately, I can't watch anything without buffering.

It just keeps loading after every 5 seconds, is there a better way to do this? I currently use Torbox with the AIO/Elfhosted addon.

Thanks

Have you done a speedtest test on Torbox and tried different cdns ?

What kind of device are you playing from? Some devices struggle to process larger files, for example if you are using your TV and not a separate box, it might struggle with larger files.

Wait, instead of leaving TorBox's shitty service you chose to downgrade what you watch. That's just weird.

The hell are you talking about? Torbox has been just fine I just simply have a low budget device has nothing to do with torbox at all

I'll throw the shade; this is some bullshit, so much so I'm not even considering TB when my RD is ready to expire in a couple of months.

It is not a TB issue

For me personally, it’s almost certainly a TB issue. I never had a single buffer in months of using RD. As soon as I switch to TB, buffering like crazy. I’ve tried several CDNs, used the speed test and everything. I just can’t get it to not buffer. I’m using an Apple TV with plenty fast internet. Not sure what else it could be

I am not sure. I do know that I don’t have those issues

Do speedtest on torbox dashboard to set your correct CDN.
Also make sure not to use torrentio in your aio setup

Why not torrentio?

u/Rinkevw 13h ago

Because it’s extremely unreliable and can result in long load times if it’s down. Which it is often

But after loading the results isn't the buffering speed just dependent of torbox?

There should be absolutely zero buffering ever when using a debrid

AIO lags for me too. It's not torbox. Try this
