MediaFusion

MediaFusion is a heavy, configurable scraper with two things the others do not have: strong regional coverage and built-in catalogues. It also handles Usenet natively.

• Repository: mhdzumair/MediaFusion
• Public instance: mediafusion.elfhosted.com

What makes it different

• Regional content — Indian, Spanish, French, German and East Asian sources are first-class, not an afterthought.
• Catalogues — it can add browse rows to Stremio, not just streams.
• Usenet — works with Usenet providers and indexers as well as debrid.
• Parental controls — filters that a family setup can actually live with.
• Background scraping — it can pre-fetch results so the list is ready when you open a title.

Setup

1. Open the configure page on a public instance, or your own deployment.
2. Add a debrid account (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, TorBox, Debrid-Link) and/or a Usenet setup.
3. Pick the catalogues you want. Keep it to a handful; every row is another request.
4. Set filters: quality, resolution, size, language, and the parental options if needed.
5. Choose how aggressively it pre-fetches. More pre-fetching means a faster list and more upstream load.
6. Install the manifest.

Self-hosting

MediaFusion ships a Docker Compose stack with a database and a worker. The short version:

git clone https://github.com/mhdzumair/MediaFusion
cd MediaFusion
cp .env-sample .env
# set POSTGRES_*, SECRET_KEY, HOST_URL and your provider credentials
docker compose up -d

Read the project's own deployment notes before exposing it: the compose file expects a PostgreSQL instance and a public HTTPS hostname.

Practical advice

• Do not enable every catalogue on the first run. Add one, check it works, then add another.
• If your list is slow, turn off background scraping for a day and compare.
• Regional users should set the language filters first; they change the results more than any other option.
• If you use Usenet, expect to configure both a provider and an indexer. See Usenet.

When to pick MediaFusion

• You watch non-English content.
• You want catalogue rows in Stremio.
• You use Usenet rather than debrid.

Otherwise AIOStreams is simpler and Comet is lighter.
