A source doesn't start

With The next source if one doesn't start on (the default), StremioK tries the next one on its own ("Didn't start: trying the next source (2 of 4)…"), up to 3 more.

A notice instead of the video. When a source doesn't start, StremioK looks at where its link leads. A debrid addon that can't give the file sends a short notice video the TV won't play; StremioK says what it means, naming the service from the source's tag ([TB⚡]: TorBox, [RD⚡]: Real-Debrid…) and the addon:

Message What to do
"TorBox refused access (AIOStreams): check its TorBox key in the addon's settings" Your key in that addon's configuration is wrong or expired. Fix it in the addon's setup page (Configure on the addon).
"TorBox: your limit is reached for now" Your debrid account's limit. Wait, or use another service.
"TorBox won't give this file" The service refuses this file. Try another source.
"Still downloading on TorBox: try again later" The service hasn't got the file yet. Try again later.

For notices about your account (access refused, a limit), the next source skips that addon's other links through the same service, since they'd say the same.

A few seconds of video, then "not ready yet". Some debrid services answer a file they're still downloading with a short video saying so (Real-Debrid through AIOStreams). A source shorter than 2 minutes is taken for that: it isn't marked watched, and StremioK goes back to the sources. Try again later.
