I had the following issue: Stremio would open normally and even load subtitles but would not load videos at all in Linux Mint 22.3. Other people on github have had the same issue.

You can revert to an older version like 1.1.4. by downloading it from the offical Github of the stremio linux shell. You can then install the flatpak by going into your downloads and typing the following commands into terminal:

cd ~/Downloads

flatpak install com.stremio.Stremio.Devel.flatpak

You then should stop the app from auto-updating with:

flatpak mask com.stremio.Stremio

I hope this helps anyone in my situation, I'm fairly new to using Linux and it took me some time. Also can you edit text on Lemmy to be in code block?

For those that like the cli, you can use flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.stremio.Stremio to scroll through the list of past versions, and look for the "Commit" id of the version you want, then do:

flatpak update --commit=<commit id> com.stremio.Stremio

Then use flatpak mask to prevent further updates.

    Thanks for the write up.

    Lemmy prefers markdown, so you can make code blocks on Lemmy with backticks, this is inline code with single backticks at each end of the string, and this is a code block, with three backticks at each end in their own lines:

    Yes, codeblock is possible.
