# Troubleshooting

If the repositories are not loading in the official site or in the Extensions section, repeat the process using VPN connection.

1. Open the site in the browser. If the site is not loading in browser also, use VPN or try site cloning .
2. If the site is working in browser, post a report in the reports channel.

Change/reselect the download location. Cloudstream → Settings → download path and then select a custom location.

Rename the extension of the file from json to txt. Now try again to read the backup file.

Change the video cache on disk. Cloudstream → Settings → player > video cache on disk and set a lower amount of cache.

Clear the app cache and restart the app. You can also set a lower amount cache to avoid this issue.

Video player → sources → subtitles and click the Auto at the top. Now change the encode of the subtitle language.

If subtitle isn't casting on the tv with the native casting system., try casting using this app.

Cloudstream → Episode page → Press and hold the epsiode → play with Web Video Cast → choose the link and then cast. The subtitle selection maybe not as good as cs3.

As it scrapes a lot of sites, it takes time to load all of them. Skip loading after 3-5 seconds.

1. Sora has some geo restricted sources. Use a VPN to access those sources.
2. Or, exo player can't handle the video. Use external player like VLC.

EXO player can't handle the video. Use external player like VLC.

Try 1DM to download from Sorastream
