Addons - Stremio

An addon is an object with three main fields:

Example: A minimal stream addon that always returns the same video URL.

const  serveHTTP  = require('stremio-addon-sdk');
const addon = 
manifest: 
id: 'my.stream.addon',
version: '1.0.0',
name: 'My Static Streams',
resources: ['stream'],
types: ['movie', 'series'],
idPrefixes: ['tt'] // IMDB IDs
,
async get( type, id ) 
if (id === 'tt0111161')  // The Shawshank Redemption
return 
streams: [ url: 'https://example.com/video.mp4', title: 'HD' ]
;
return  streams: [] ;
;
serveHTTP(addon,  port: 7000 );

Run it: node index.js. Then install http://localhost:7000/manifest.json in Stremio.

The Stremio add-on system operates on a unique protocol designed to standardize how content is delivered to the application. stremio addons

Here is a recommended "starter pack" of Stremio addons for optimal experience:

| Addon Name | Purpose | Priority (Order Matters!) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | TMDB | Clean metadata, posters, descriptions | 1 (Highest) | | OpenSubtitles v3 | Automatic subtitles in all languages | 2 | | Torrentio (w/ RD) | 99% of your movie/TV streams | 3 | | Annatar | Backup stream provider | 4 | | CyberFlix Catalog | Trending & recommended lists | 5 | | Local Files | Your own downloaded content | Lowest |

Why order matters: Stremio asks addons in the order they are listed. Place TMDB first so metadata loads correctly. Place your best streaming addon (Torrentio) above backup ones so its results appear at the top. An addon is an object with three main fields:

While Torrentio provides streams, TMDB provides discovery. This addon populates your home screen with rows like “Trending Today,” “Top Rated,” “Upcoming,” and custom lists from TMDB. It’s the best replacement for the limited official Cinemeta addon.

Stremio has an official addon repository, but the most powerful addons are community-built.

Official Addons (Safe, Reliable, but Limited): Example: A minimal stream addon that always returns
