Add-ons & Plugins

Stremio itself ships almost no content. Everything you watch comes from add-ons: small web services that expose streams, catalogues, metadata or subtitles through a manifest.json URL.

How to install

Open the add-on's configure page, pick your settings, press Install — or copy the manifest link into the search box on Stremio's Add-ons screen. The same link works in Nuvio and most Stremio-compatible clients.

Stream add-ons

These are the ones that actually return video sources.

• ⭐ AIOStreams — Meta add-on: queries several stream add-ons in parallel, deduplicates and filters the results into one clean list. The best starting point for most people.
• ⭐ Comet — Fast, lightweight torrent/debrid/Usenet scraper with a built-in proxy.
• ⭐ MediaFusion — Heavily configurable scraper with strong regional coverage (Indian, Spanish, French, German, East Asian) and parental filters.
• Torrentio — The classic. Scrapes public torrent indexes and supports most debrid services. Single public instance.
• Knightcrawler — Self-hosted scraper, good when you want your own instance.
• Jackett add-on — Connects your own Jackett indexers to Stremio, with debrid support.
• UsenetStreamer — Streams NZBs straight from Usenet through your provider.
• Usenet-Ultimate — Modern Usenet add-on with a proper configuration UI.
• StremThru — Companion/proxy that adds debrid and Usenet support to add-ons that do not have it.
• NuvioStreamsAddon — HTTP streaming add-on used by the Nuvio ecosystem.
• Orion — Torrent and debrid add-on backed by the Orion service.
• Deflix — Debrid-only add-on written in Go (YTS, TPB, RARBG, 1337x, ibit).

Metadata & catalogues

• Cinemeta — Built into Stremio. Supplies the default catalogues, posters and episode metadata. Leave it installed.
• AIOMetadata — Replaces the defaults with richer catalogues, high-resolution artwork and ratings from TMDB, TVDB, MyAnimeList and AniList.
• TMDB / TMDB Discover+ — Popular, trending and upcoming lists, plus deeper discovery by genre, year and release date.
• Anime Kitsu — Anime catalogues and metadata from Kitsu.
• AIOLists — Turns MDBList and Trakt lists into catalogues.
• IMDb list / IMDb tag — Use any IMDb list or tag as a catalogue.
• Toast Translator — Translates titles and descriptions into your language.

What to watch next

• Trakt — Built into Stremio's settings. Syncs your watch history and progress across devices.
• MyTrakt — Turns Trakt into catalogues: continue watching, watchlist, recommendations.
• Watchly — Recommendations based on what you have watched.
• ItsOut — Tells you when a new episode or release drops.

Subtitles

• OpenSubtitles — Official add-on, installed by default. Covers most titles.
• SubMaker — Generates subtitles from the audio track when nobody has published any.

Ratings, posters & trailers

• RPDB — Puts ratings on posters. Free tier available; plugs into a metadata add-on such as AIOMetadata.
• Rating Aggregator — IMDb, TMDB and Metacritic ratings side by side.
• Streailer — Plays trailers inside Stremio.
• ultra-max-addon — Curated catalogues and a clean setup for Stremio and Nuvio.

Add-on lists & discovery

• stremio-addons.net — Community-curated add-on directory with popularity sorting.
• stremio-addons-list — The JSON list that powers much of the add-on ecosystem.
• awesome-stremio — Curated list focused on open-source add-ons.
• ElfHosted recommended add-ons — Opinionated picks, updated regularly.

Keep it small

Every stream add-on you install gets asked separately for every title. More add-ons means slower stream lists, more broken links and more rate limiting. Two stream add-ons and one metadata add-on is a healthy setup.
