Trying to install Stremio flatpak

Post by nomadic »

I'm very new to Easy OS but need to get the Stremio app to work if possible.

I added the flatpak as a custom entry to Flapi. It brought up the correct flathub page which I confirmed. However when I try to install it immediately says that the flatpak was not installed.

Any ideas on how I might get this to work?

Thanks.

You may be having the same problem reported here:

...read through to page 4, where Federico posted a fix that worked for him.

Thanks very much, that thread did indeed provide the solution.

Firstly in time settings I chose to sync time from internet. I still experienced the problem after that but then ran the following command from page 3 in that thread:

flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

It then successfully installed from Flapi and works flawlessly!

Good, though I am mystified why syncing time with the Internet has fixed it.

I have fixed the Flatpak installer, so that if it has failed to register with flathub.org, then will not allow installation of apps, see blog post:

I will further modify the flatpak script to recommend sync time to Internet.
