First, install any Stremio update available through your normal Android app store, then reopen the series. If the app is current, temporarily reduce Android’s Display size or Font size; this may give episode titles more room, although no permanent fix has been confirmed for the reported Stremio 2.3.2 layout. If titles remain cut off, use season and episode numbers to identify them and report the affected layout to Stremio.
What is happening?
An Android phone user reported that Stremio’s episode list truncates titles after only a few words. The problem was observed in Stremio 2.3.2 on Android 15, in both portrait and landscape orientation.
This appears to be a display-layout problem rather than a playback or streaming failure. The episode row must fit several pieces of information into a phone-width area, including the title and date. A long title, narrow screen, large Android text setting, or increased display scaling can leave too little room for the complete name.
The report suggests reserving more room for the title and moving the date below it, but that is a proposed interface change—not a setting currently confirmed to exist in Stremio.
Try these fixes in order
1. Check for a Stremio update
Open the app store or installation source you normally use for Stremio and check whether an update is offered. Install only a normal release intended for your device; do not install an unknown package solely to address this visual problem.
After updating:
- Force-close Stremio.
- Open it again.
- Return to the same series and season.
- Compare the same long episode title in portrait and landscape modes.
An update is the preferred permanent solution if Stremio changes the episode-list layout. However, there is no supplied evidence confirming that a later release already fixes this specific report.
2. Temporarily reduce Android display scaling
Android’s text and interface scaling can reduce the width available inside each episode row. Try a small adjustment rather than selecting the minimum setting immediately.
- Open Android Settings.
- Find Display size and text, Font size, or similarly named display options. Labels vary by phone manufacturer.
- Note the current values so you can restore them.
- Reduce Display size by one step.
- If necessary, reduce Font size by one step as well.
- Reopen Stremio and check the episode list.
This is a workaround, not a Stremio-specific repair. Do not keep text uncomfortably small, especially if you rely on larger text for accessibility. Restore your preferred settings if the adjustment does not expose more of the title.
3. Test whether every series is affected
Open several series and compare:
- A series with short episode names
- A series with long names
- Another season of the affected series
- Content supplied by a different catalog, if one is already installed
If only long names are truncated at a consistent point, that supports a layout-width limitation. If one title has missing, malformed, or unusually formatted text while other long titles display correctly, its metadata source may also be involved.
Community addons are independently operated and may provide their own catalog metadata. Stremio controls how the mobile interface displays that metadata, but an addon operator controls the title text it sends. Reinstalling streaming-source addons is unlikely to correct a consistent episode-row layout problem and is not recommended as an initial step.
4. Use episode numbers as the safe fallback
Until the layout is changed, identify the episode using its season and episode number, such as S02E05, rather than relying only on the visible fragment of its name. You can compare the number against the series information from its official network, distributor, or another legitimate catalog.
The displayed date can sometimes help distinguish entries, but release dates may vary by region or metadata provider. Treat the season and episode numbering as the more useful identifier when available.
5. Refresh the app without deleting account data
A corrupted temporary interface state is less likely than a genuine layout limitation, but a safe refresh is quick:
- Open Android’s recent-apps screen and close Stremio.
- Go to Settings > Apps > Stremio.
- Tap Force stop.
- Open Stremio again.
If your phone provides a Clear cache option, you can try it after force-stopping the app. Avoid Clear storage or Clear data at this stage because those actions can sign you out and reset local app data without being likely to change a fixed-width layout.
6. Reinstall only if the interface is corrupted more broadly
Reinstallation is not a strong fix for titles that are consistently truncated, because reinstalling the same version normally restores the same layout. Consider it only if labels overlap, interface elements are missing, or multiple screens look broken—not merely because long episode names use an ellipsis or end abruptly.
Before reinstalling, confirm that you know your sign-in method and that anything important is synchronized with your Stremio account. Reinstall from the same trusted source you normally use.
What worked for affected users
No successful workaround or confirmed fix was included with the original report. The reporter specifically stated that switching between vertical and horizontal orientation did not make the full titles readable, so rotation should not be treated as a verified solution.
Reducing Android’s display or font scaling is a reasonable temporary diagnostic because it can create more horizontal space, but it was not reported as a confirmed solution by the affected user. Updating Stremio is also appropriate, but only an available release containing a relevant layout change would provide a permanent app-side fix.
Report the issue with useful details
If the problem continues on the newest release available to you, add information to the existing bug report or contact Stremio support. Include:
- Stremio app version
- Android version
- Phone model and screen resolution, if known
- Android font and display-size settings
- Whether portrait and landscape are both affected
- One example series, season, episode number, and complete expected title
- A screenshot that avoids exposing personal account information
- Whether the same clipping happens across multiple catalogs
Mention if reducing display size changes the amount of visible text. That helps distinguish a responsive-layout limitation from missing metadata.
Frequently asked questions
Is this caused by the video source?
Probably not. The reported problem occurs in the episode-selection interface before playback. A streaming source does not normally control the width of Stremio’s episode rows.
Will clearing the cache restore the full titles?
It may refresh temporary app files, but there is no evidence that cache clearing fixes this report. It is safe to try, while clearing all storage is unnecessarily disruptive for a likely layout issue.
Does landscape mode fix it?
Not in the submitted report. The affected user said titles remained unreadable in both portrait and landscape orientations.
Is there a Stremio option to show titles on multiple lines?
No such option was identified in the report or supplied evidence. Do not assume a title-wrapping setting exists unless it appears in your installed version.
Should I remove my addons?
Not as a first step. If every long title is clipped similarly, the mobile layout is the more likely cause. Investigate a catalog addon only if incorrect or incomplete text appears exclusively in metadata supplied by that addon.
