Stremio is a Video Streaming platform that allows you to stream movies, videos, TV series, live tv and web channels.
The platform works with add-on systems that are installed once you have created an account.
You can select add-ons from the catalogue that is present on their website or go to Reddit communities, PimpMyStremio or Stremio Downloader to install other addons.
Stremio can be accessed through desktop apps available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
The app is accessible on both iOS and Android devices. However, the app may not work efficiently on iOS compared to Android because it does not support most of the add-ons.
The add-on system is the most important thing you need to have for Stremio to see the content smoothly.
But if you are facing an “ADDON_PUSH_FAILED” error on Stremio even after meeting the required specification then you can fix it.
In this guide, you will know what is causing the addon push failed error and how can you fix it.
What Causes Add-on Push Failed Error On Stremio?
When you face an “ADDON_PUSH_FAILED” error it is usually because are not installing the addons correctly or from a reliable source.
Also, when you have too many add-ons installed in your account then it can interfere when you try to add new add-ons.
Another reason is using an OS that is not supported with the latest version of the Stremio desktop app.

The addons that you should avoid to minimize risk to your system are Maximum Sports, RAR and Popcorn Time.
3. Use Stremio Supported OS
The desktop app of Stremio is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Ensure that you use the updated version of the operating system for the smooth functioning of the desktop app.
