Stremio platform banned from torrent website. #294

Open svetlozardraganov opened 3 months ago

svetlozardraganov commented 3 months ago

Few months ago I published an addon for streaming from a popular torrent website.

This week a few users reported the addon no longer works properly.

I run some tests and found out downloading .torrent file manually and opening it with Stremio also doesn't work properly but it works fine with other streaming platforms.

This let's me think the issue is not in the addon itself but somewhere else.

I suppose website administer found out the addon and took measures to prevent it to play streams from their torrent website by banning Stremio somehow.

Can anything be done here? Is this something new or it happened before with other torrent websites?

Hi @svetlozardraganov it is zamunad blocking Stremio client

Thanks for the confirmation @TRtomasz Is there any way to workaround that?

@svetlozardraganov normally private trackers ban apps by either:

i can't think of other ways that it could be blocked, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be others

@svetlozardraganov I just tried playing a movie from Zamunda and it worked, both the .torrent file and the magnet link. But then i tried a few others and they didn't work at all. But this one works consistently. I cannot figure out how and why this is happening.

Thanks for the provided updates.

Interestingly,for the last couple of days the addon as well as Stremio works fine again. I haven't changed anything on the addon-end, not sure if there is any change on Stremio side but everything works just fine.

This might be temporarily of course, we'll see what will happen.
