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)
