How to reinstall Stremio add-ons
Open Stremio and go to the Add-ons or Plugins section, now go to My Plugins.Here, find any add-ons that don’t work for you and click Uninstall.
Once you’re done uninstalling them, the Install button will bring them back to Stremio. Press this button and complete the installation process of each add-on again (we recommend that you configure them manually as we do in this tutorial with Torrentio) and that’s it.
Try other Stremio add-ons
If the Stremio add-on is not installed, the last solution we recommend is to try another plugin. And this can happen (with some add-ons’ feature to share copyrighted content) because the add-on’s servers have crashed or the developers have disabled it.
In these cases, we recommend uninstalling the icon that doesn’t work and installing a similar one that offers the same functionality or content… Don’t know which icon to replace the icon that doesn’t install? Well, we invite you to check out these articles that will definitely be useful to you.
