Stremio Add-ons
All of the video content Stremio provides, it gets exclusively through this add-on system, with no content or specific provider being built into the app.
This package includes both Server and Client for a complete Add-on System.
Add-ons are being hosted separately (on a server). As such, they have increased security and support their own node modules.
What do they do?
The purpose of an add-on is to gather media content (not to extend app features) and respond to requests from the Client which will expect:
- a manifest (add-on description)
- an array of meta elements (primary meta feed)
- an array of meta elements (requested by search query)
- one meta element (requested by ID)
- an array of subtitle objects (requested by ID)
- an array of stream links (requested by ID)
Benefits
Getting started
To get started with Add-ons, you first need to have Node.js installed.
You can scaffold an empty Stremio add-on by running:
npm -g install yo generator-stremio-addon # use sudo if you're on Linux
yo stremio-addon
