In Win11 under Caching Drive, Stremio-Server & Stremio-Cache are labelled as “Unavailable”. #975

Closed EurosE77 closed 1 month ago

Describe the bug On my laptop in Windows 11, under Caching Drive, the default caching folder (Stremio-cache found in Stremio-server) is labelled as (Unavailable). When I find the stremio-server and stremio-cache in my files nothing is inside. It doesn’t allow me to choose any other folder to store cache. Due to cache not working, movies end up crashing the app after 20 minutes. Heavy GB torrents don’t load at all even with Real Debrid.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click on Cache Drive
  3. Scroll down to Cache Folder under C:\Users\''Your user''\AppData\Roaming\stremio\stremio-server\
  4. Labelled as (unavailable) Stremio-cache seemingly not accessible.

Expected behavior Default cache folder Stremio-server/stremio-cache to be available, accessible, and working.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context Everything is updated to the latest version. No Windows firewall is blocking Stremio on public and private networks. I believe no permissions are blocked for Stremio. Hidden files are shown in file explorer so I can see App Data, Roaming, Stremio files. I can see Stremio-server file and inside then Stremio-cache file but nothing is inside the latter.

Reported issue has nothing to do with crashes, you can just ignore Unavailable message, it is default cache location. If you select C as cache location it will then create there stremio cache folder. It is not possible to set custom cache patch you can only change partition and you have just one. Additionaly cache is only for torrent based streams, nothing will be stored in these folders if you use real debrid. Regarding crashing ensure you have enabled hardware accelerated decoding in the settings

Thank you for the hasty reply! Hardware accelerated decoding is enabled. I wonder if the crashing is something to do with the AMD drivers then? I’m totally lost now

You can try removing GPU drivers using DDU - https://www.wagnardsoft.com/display-driver-uninstaller-DDU- and install them again
