🔧Technical Issue Buffering issues

I've been using Torbox for a 2-3 months now as a replacement for Real-Debrid.
I've never had any issues till yesterday - it's constantly buffering every few minutes no matter what I watch. I mainly use it in Kodi with the POV addon, have it paired with Stremio as well. Wired connection but it is buffering all the time since yesterday.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Whenever I can, I try to bring usenet into the spotlight. It's a great alternative. And to be honest, more reliable and consistent than when I had debrid.

I've been a HUGE user of Usenet with the ARR apps (Sonarr, radarr etc.) and only stopped when I discovered Stremio and now Nuvio. Can you explain to me is it as simple as re activating my newgroup provider and putting it's API into Nuvio? Thanks.

I'll shoot you a message, so we're not going back-and-forth in this.

Yesterday I finally got the nerve to self host. So built aiostreams, nzbdav, nzbhydra2, and mediaflow proxy. I got a vps and a really cheap domain and got help from AI. I'm just using for streaming to nuvio cause as hard drive space for downloading would need a lot of space especially for 4k. Indexers go into nzbhydra, providers go into nzbdav. I'm getting both debrid and Usenet is getting files from every indexer as I have 3. Newshosting has labor day deal that comes with 2 other providers. I do have another block account as backup and hasn't been used. I'm not saying this is the only way but is working great for me and I'm a slow non tech savvy country boy 😂 but after some frustration and getting mad at myself I got it working better than what I was paying elfhosted. Maybe a better way to do it but it works for me. I didn't wanna keep my laptop running so I went with a vps from Virtarix and the cheapest domain from porkbun. The vps I got is cheap and not even using 20% of it. So still room for a lot more containers. I could add radarr and sonarr but just using right now for playing files. The MediaFlow Proxy I think makes it look like one IP. I used my pixel 10 with terminal called Haven as the vps one wouldn't let me copy and paste.
