Lets first start out with a glossary of all the things you may encounter with the TorBox Stremio Addon. There is more below, but it is nice for you to know all of the small things about TorBox's Stremio Addon. If you already know the glossary like the back of your hand (don't lie, you skimmed over it), then you can move on. If you are looking for something specific, this is a long document, so maybe search this using the headers on the right hand side, or search for something using CTRL+F or CMD+F.

Settings Page
Qualities to Show. These are qualities that you want the addon to show. These include Blu-Ray, WebRip, Cam, HDRip, and more. Simply click on the ones that you want the addon to show and it will have a nice checkmark next to it. These setting save instantly, meaning that the next time you use the addon (even the next second) your settings will go in effect. Pretty neat.
Resolutions to Show. These are resolutions that you want the addon to show. These are simple resolutions, split into 4 groups. Unknown, SD, HD, and UHD. This makes it easier to choose options rather than selecting specific resolutions. SD includes everything under and including 720p. HD is simply 1080p or similar. UHD is anything above HD including 4K or similar.
Languages to Show. These are languages that you want the addon to show. Pretty simple. If you want to show torrents in a specific language, make sure that language is selected with a checkmark.
Cache Settings. These are cache settings which will determine what the status of the torrents that show up. If you don't care, or simply want as many results as possible, then select the Cached and Download setting. If you want only cached torrents, then select the Cached Only. If you don't want any cached torrents (not recommended) then select the Download Only option. If you have multiple selected, it will go in order of selection with Cached and Download always going first, then Cached Only, then finally Download Only. So if you have Cached and Download as well as Cached Only selected, it will show Cached and Download. If you have Cached Only and Download Only selected, then it will show Cached Only.
Seeding Settings. These settings determine if the torrents created from TorBox will seed or not. If you want TorBox to decide whether it will seed or not, depending on specific internal parameters, then choose Auto. If you don't want to seed at all, then set the setting to Never (this is recommended for Stremio specifically). If you always want to seed then select Always.
File Size Settings. These 2 inputs are used for you to enter a number for the size of the torrents you want to show. There are 2, so you can give TorBox a lower limit and an upper limit. Here are some scenarios:
If you want any file size, in the lower limit, you would put 0, and in the upper limit you can put some number (likely 500). This will show any torrents between 0 and 500GB.
If you only want high quality torrents, you would likely put the lower limit at 30GB and the upper limit at 500GB.
If you only want small torrents, you would put the lower limit at 0, and the upper limit at 50GB.
Show adult rated streams/searches. This switch simply allows or disallows showing adult rated streams/searches. This does still allow R rated, or similar shows. Anything such as "NC-17" movies or porn are hidden from search and stream results.
Stremio Addon
TorBox (Instant). If this is the name of the stream, then the torrent is instantly available for you to download and watch. It will start playing right when you click the play button without waiting to download the files first. If this is available for your media, this is the recommended one to choose.
Video Error, TORBOX IS DOWNLOADING THIS TORRENT. This means that the stream you selected is currently downloading from TorBox. You should simply wait, or if you have notifications set up, wait for a notification, before trying to play the stream again. This will play until the torrent is done downloading and is available for streaming. You can view the status on the dashboard.
Video Error, TORBOX ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR WITH THIS TORRENT. This is a serious error. This means that something has gone wrong in the process. You should give it a few more tries, but if it continues to occur, you should contact support. Just make sure to give us the name of the torrent and your email so we can get access to the information.
Video Error, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ACTIVE SLOTS FOR THIS TORRENT. This is a general error, and may come up if you have a lot of torrents in your TorBox. If you have over your limit, and the torrent isn't cached, then you won't be able to add an uncached torrent until you remove a torrent.
Your Media. This is all of your streamable files from TorBox. This can be found in the Discover -> Movies -> Your Media section. If you download a torrent to TorBox and want to watch it from Stremio, this will show the stream for you to use. This will also show in any stream searches like TorBox (Your Media) and always be at the top.

Some Cool Things
With a TorBox Pro account, you can stream from the Usenet as well! No more waiting for slow downloads with low seeds, and with a much better selection of premium sources you will never run out of content to watch.
Changing the filters and other settings on the Stremio addon is instant. No more are the days where you have to reinstall addons. Simply change the setting to how you want and refresh the page (sometimes you may have to close the app to clear the cache). Your settings will be instantly applied. This is awesome and has never been done before in a Stremio addon. This allows you to experiment with your settings without wasting time.
Along with filters and settings, all updates are down OTA (over-the-air) without your intervention. You will never have to reinstall you Stremio addon. That's awesome.
