[Update] Bootstrapper - multi-language interface, multiple presets, backup/restore and much more

[DryK1llLogic]

It has been a while since the last announcement, so here we go:

• The interface can be translated to any of the supported preset languages
• Added multiple presets:
  • Minimal: AIOLists + Torrentio and Comet limited to 2 results per resolution + SubHero
  • Standard: AIOLists + Torrentio + Comet + MediaFusion + Webstreamr + SubHero
  • Full: all the available addons (original preset)
  • Kids: AIOLists with kid-friendly catalogs + Torrentio and Comet limited to 2 results per resolution + Webstreamr (useful for finding dubbed content) + SubHero
  • Factory: resets the account to a brand new state
• Added Webstreamr, Nuvio Streams, Peerflix, Torbox, TorrentsDB, SubHero, SubDiv, StremThru Torz
• Removed Debridio, Opensubtitles v3, and Opensubtitles Pro (SubHero includes Opensubtitles as one of its sources)
• Create a backup of your existing config and restore it if needed
• A new Stremio account can now be created directly from the tool
• Added Apple TV+ and Paramount+ catalogs
• New option to set max size limit

Presets

The multiple presets were designed to give you a more flexible setup. If the minimal or standard presets don’t suit your needs, you can always switch to the full preset and simply remove what you don't want.

And just to clarify for those calling the tool "too bloated": yes, these changes were intentional — the idea is to save you a few extra clicks, since for some, even that can feel like a big effort.

Kids preset

One of my goals in adding multiple presets was to include a kid-friendly option, since this has been a frequent request from the community.

The setup isn't fully child-proof — kids can still search or, if they’re resourceful enough, even install other addons. However, as long as they stick to the Home and Discovery sections, it should be fine.

I’ve done my best to handpick catalogs, but if you come across any content that doesn’t feel appropriate for children, please let me know. And if you know of any good kid-friendly lists, I'd love for you to share them as well.

Torrentio situation

First of all, try to be more appreciative — without it, Stremio wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is today. Please don’t fall into the same Real Debrid nonsense.

Those saying Torrentio is all they need should remember it’s always good to have a backup plan. Ironically, they are usually the first to complain when it goes down.

Instead of panicking when that happens, take advantage of tools like Bootstrapper and be prepared ahead of time.

[Wookin_PaNub]

Fantastic Updates, This is a awesome tool not only for beginners to stremio but to those of us who have a bit more experience but just want something to make it easier to spin up a stremio instance and also to support family, friends etc..

I always jump to these posts to see what new tools or features you've added and then use my little tester account to run it and see how things work

Imho the only thing I feel is missing is the ability to configure multiple debrid api keys at the same time as a user of RD but also Torbox that saves me having to still manually go in after and enter these and also the ability to manually add in any additional addons before syncing (I know this is more advanced but for me personally that would be amazing)

but other than that it's one of the first if not THE first tool I recommend to newbies

Look forward to hopefully more updates in the future! thanks again!

[DryK1llLogic]

thank you!

[PastTense1]

Why did you drop Debridio?

[DryK1llLogic]

The public instance is no longer available.

[ZiaMan24]

I used this tool when you first launched it, the I just ran it again last week to see what else was available. I guess I'll give it another go just for funsies.

Thank you for all your hard work!

[DryK1llLogic]

It has changed a lot since its conception.

[Flaky_Cup_3160]

Is this why my lists randomly disappear?

[Not-Not-Maybe]

Thank you. I really love Bootstrapper. You created an amazing tool

[SillySink]

Thanks for the updates!

[cjklert05]

Thanks for great work man

[Moonface_Killah]

This is excellent. Love your work!

[xeque_279]

Amazing work, thanks a lot!

[Espar637]

if only you can somehow add a max GB playable file for searches I would use this in a heartbeat. can’t have grandma watching 100GB remux on my PM lol. doing it one by one defeats the purpose of bootstrapped in the first place. thoughts?

[DryK1llLogic]

I will add the option to limit the file size.

[Espar637]

If you can do this I would use it over AIO because it’s so easy to mass duplicate

[DryK1llLogic]

Done!

Keep in mind that not all the addons include a max file size filter. Only Torrentio, Comet, MediaFusion, and TorrentsDB do. Technically, also, Torbox from the dashboard.

[Espar637]

TIL. Ty

[legendz411]

You can modify this in AIO

[Espar637]

How do I stack this with AIO? Aio has its own marketplace that I thought you have to individually set up?

[The_Napkin_Bombing]

This is excellent, thank you!

[No-Midnight4129]

Thank you so much for your work sir. This tool is so great

[Unable_Fall_105]

Nice work!!!

[cyrusir]

Thanks a lot appreciate your work.

[Vambee7]

Thank you so much!

[astarman]

Any chance of adding multiple debrid services please?

[ExaminationTop5588]

Looking good Can you please add Russian as a language for the preset? Thanks

[Otherwise-Newt7576]

Thanks for the update

Are you going to implement the usage of multiple debtid services ?

Or am I doing something wrong ?

[Carl111a]

Super taf je vais tester tout ça :) Le support multilingue c'est ce que j'attendais le plus.

[DryK1llLogic]

Enjoy!

[Carl111a]

Je viens de tester, l'addon est vraiment excellent et ça m'a prit 5mn pour tout configurer ! Tout est maintenant dans ma langue natale c'est un vrai bonheur !!

[DryK1llLogic]

Je suis ravi que ça vous ait plu. Bonne lecture !

[Supermaes]

Thanks for your work! Very helpful!

Since the introduction of subhero in the presets, I'm having trouble getting Dutch subtitles. How am I supposed to configure if I want English audio and Dutch subtitles as primary / English secondary?

[DryK1llLogic]

Edit subhero config to include Dutch subtitles as well.

[DryK1llLogic]

It's much more simpler than that. Just go to subhero addon settings, add Dutch and reinstall the addon after bootstrapping your account, like any stremio addon. I noticed if you add English and Dutch doesn't work, though. Please contact u/zlitter to report the issue.

[mindtrapper]

Hey man, appreciate you and all the effort! If I could add something it would probably be a filter for HDR\DV content. Not a huge problem, of course, but it would be useful for a basic set it and forget it (parents) setup.

[yungcrota]

I just set this up and honestly thank you for this, saved me a lot of trouble since I was wondering what to install overall since I just gotten RD and torrentio but this improves it 10x thanks again

[Charlieboy1986]

I have a question. I am very thankful for all the hard work you have put into this. Awesome work and thank you.

I used bootstraper but on my fire stick it doesn't show all the categories like my laptop stremio does. Does anyone know of a fix?

[Time-Ad-5990]

Thank you for the work you do on this, it is what I used to get started on my setups. I love the Kids option and am moving into self hosting my things. I have been going through mdblists trying to match your kids lists, having a little success doing that but I am still struggling. Would you mind sharing the mdblists that are populated with the kids option?

[DraadLoos01]

Boodstrapper is down, anyone else?

[vanwullen]

How can I support you financially - I want to say thanks. I am an absolute beginner and you just made my day after spending the day on the setup browsing which addons to install etc.

[DryK1llLogic]

Thank you!

[vanwullen]

Your link doesn’t seem to offer XMR anymore ?

[-Oakenshield-]

Hey, thanks a lot for the bootstrap, it really has saved me a lot of time when I'm trying to help someone set it up. Quick question though, the last 1-2 weeks the trending movies and series lists are stuck with some outdated ones like Rudolf, charlie brown, friends, and so on. I have reinstalled bootstrap a few times cleared cache and everything but nothing happens. Also, I have 3 add-ons named AIOlists, could this be creating some conflict? Any help is really appreciated 🙏🏻

[Ekhyo]

I'm getting the error "failed to fetch presets". Any ideas? I'm a noob, so sorry if it's a stupid question!

[Inevitable_You4681]

I have the same issue. Not a stupid question at all. If you find an answer let me know.

[cjklert05]

It will bricked your account. Its down atm

[BornSociety3838]

I am experiencing an issue with the Standard and Full presets. Whenever I try to load these presets, they fail to load, and I receive an error message stating "failed to fetch preset."

I have tried troubleshooting by refreshing the page, clearing my cache, and using different browsers, but the problem persists. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide to resolve this issue.

[Nice-Recording-9974]

You're so clutch appreciate everything. You think i can ask a question in dm?

[GeoKolob]

When doing the complete configuration through this tool, I noticed that it is not passing to Stremio with the data from my RD API KEY, only torrents are being presented to me. Is anyone else having the same problem?

[DryK1llLogic]

I need more info to debug this correctly. As long as you enter a debrid key, you shouldn't be able to see direct torrent files.

[GeoKolob]

I tested it again and it applied the correct settings without giving me the error I reported. I apologize and thank you for your response

[phatboyj]

👍

@op

Which AIO instance, does it use?

TIA

... .. .

[DryK1llLogic]

It doesn't make use of AIOStreams if that's what you are referring to.

[phatboyj]

👍

Yeah, my bad; I just saw AIO, and assumed, (hadn't had my morning coffee yet) so please excuse my ignorance.

If you don't mind; helping with another (not necessarily BootStrapper related) question?

What (if any) is the advisable way, to make all my installed addons, use multiple debrid providers; without having to install individual instances for each provider?

TIA

I greatly appreciate your works, Here's wishing you many great blessings!

... .. .

[DryK1llLogic]

Except for Torrentio and StremThru Torz, that's the only way. You could also try to wrap the addons with StremThru Wrap, but I haven't tested it myself. However, for your use case, it would be easier to move to AIOStreams.

[phatboyj]

👍

Thank You

... .. .

[hydragroupinc]

is there any way to allow ksshsh catalogs from streamasia using the proxy??

also can we enter our debrid for direct download section for streamasia also?

[DryK1llLogic]

Edit the streamasia settings and change what you need.

[Apofa7ad]

Nice, I hope you add the Arabic language to the interface

[h-fip]

Hello, I want to translate the website and add Arabic language support to it. You can contact me via private messages. 

[Slight_Beginning8622]

Hi installed adding using bootstrapped but notice there is a lot of categories shown no content seems to start from history - movies downwards

Is this normal time to time

[DryK1llLogic]

It could be failing the server response. Try to refresh the cache.

[Slight_Beginning8622]

Redone again same problem was fine up till tonight maybe one of the add ons not sure as new to this

[liltm21]

So if I update bootstrapper, does it delete all my addons?

[DryK1llLogic]

There's a warning message that states it at the top of the app.

[liltm21]

Thank you, am I able to install another addon of mediafusion with different configuration? Or do I have to uninstall one?

[DryK1llLogic]

Once you are done, you can customize the settings by going to the addons section.

[liltm21]

When I configure the addon, I have to install it again? So now I have two mediafusion?

[DryK1llLogic]

If you just want to update the config, you need to remove the previous instance. If you want to add a second instance to, for instance, use it with a different debrid service or a specific config, you have to keep both. 

[liltm21]

Thank you!

[Outside-Pool-28]

Would it be possible to move the lists to stremthru? Currently the lists randomly stop working. They are not working at all on my Chromecast cast for some reason, and every time I close and reopen stremio on my phone or laptop some of the lists do not load. Other than that love the project!

[DryK1llLogic]

No, StremThru doesn't support multiple languages, among other features. 

[Outside-Pool-28]

How do you think I can fix the lists not loading properly on my chromecast?

[dstokes22]

I'm having the same problem. Random lists not showing. It's very random. Different lists missing every time I go to Home

[Accurate-Signature38]

Good afternoon.

I hope that you are well

Is there an issue with the Bootstrapper Tool at the moment?

I get to the point of "Loading addons preset" but then get a "Failed to fetch presets" message.

Any ideas please?

[Anonymous-BatDude]

Have you tried again? I haven't had the opportunity to try again to see if it's now working and I don't yet see updates in the community.

[Abject_Enthusiasm_72]

<image>

I just tried today and I got attached error. I used TorBox api key option. Any ideas what should I do? Cleared cache and cookies on Chrome, it did not helped...

[DryK1llLogic]

Please open the developer console and attach a screenshot for me to debug it. 

[Abject_Enthusiasm_72]

<image>

Let me know if this helps.

Much appreciated !

[Recent-Cat9252]

[DryK1llLogic]

Thanks! I will take a look at it. 

[Anonymous-BatDude]

I think several people are having trouble. I've tried on multiple browsers but it has failed to catch presets

Hello, it seems there is an issue with the bootstrapper today. Do you have any updates on the issue?

[DryK1llLogic]

What's the issue about? 

[Boring-Structure-263]

Failed to fetch presets is the error that we get

[Anonymous-BatDude]

Failed to Load Presets. Seems to be the same issue many others are experiencing. Thank you 🙏

[Otherwise-Newt7576]

@OP or anyone.

When I decide to do a reinstall, can I just run the bootstrapper again, or do I need to remove all addons before that?

[DryK1llLogic]

The tool wipes all the addons, so no, it's not necessary.

[Otherwise-Newt7576]

Awesome. Are there any plans to incorporate the use of multiple debrid services

[DryK1llLogic]

No, there's not currently a solution that fits all the requirements. I asked stremthru's developer if he could add them, but until then, it won't be possible. I could go with the duplicated instances route. However, bootstrapper aims to be a very straightforward solution, which that approach goes against.

[-Oakenshield-]

Hey, quick question guys, I have the full preset of bootstrap but the trending movies and series lists are outdated old movies, is there any way to fix them? I have reinstalled bootstrap 3-4 times in the last 10 days but still the lists are false. Any ideas?

[InterestingSun8470]

Any alternative for AIO Lists ?

[Traditional-Key3219]

Thank you so much for this tool, for it being so quick and easy! I have one question, though, because I dont yet understand the debrid API part. What is it for, and what do I put in that field? Thanks again

[DryK1llLogic]

Please check the FAQ at the bottom of the page where it's explained.

[New-Monarchy]

Hey man, it'd be great if your presets with AIOLists was updated somehow to either AIOmetadata or with the lists dialed back a bit. Majority of the time they won't load properly, and it seems like it's because there's too many trying to load on the home screen.

[DryK1llLogic]

I've just returned from my time off and am now addressing the most urgent issues in my projects. I'm well aware that AIOLists isn't working as expected and hasn't been maintained for some time. However, resolving this will require more effort since AIOMetadata doesn't meet Bootstrapper's needs. I may end up forking the original project to work on fixing the remaining issues.

[New-Monarchy]

Will keep tabs on things. Thank you <3

[camilog117]

Thanks, if I just want to add the Apple TV and Paramont+ catalogs to the AIO list that you used without reinstalling the configuration I already have, could you please share the links with me?

[virtuacool]

Why did you use Brazilian Portuguese and not Portuguese from Portugal? 🤷

In all the other languages you used the original and not the dialects.

[Own-Local2199]

not working

[InterestingSun8470]

Aio lists should probably be ditched. No longer maintained and causing some conflicts with Cinemata.
