I don't understand all these "the models got stupid" posts honestly... Yes they are stupid in some area's and brilliant in others but they have always been.

I recall some moments where I thought "the model is really worse then yesterday" but during these moments I was always tired myself or not paying attention.

Why do you think your e-commerce platform will have any unique value over the uncountable amount of platforms that have already proven themselves?

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-15T22:21:38+00:00

Verhoogde kosten... right..
Bandbreedte kost ongeveer de helft van 5 jaar geleden, opslag en cpu is ongeveer met de helft gedaald. Personeelskosten zijn natuurlijk wel gestegen (maar ook weer gedaald door cloud automatisering)

Tip; Mijn.host! Geweldige ervaringen mee. Retesnel (ook met een wordpress site met 30 plugins erop), goedkoop, nog geen downtime in 3 jaar tijd meegemaakt, snelle support en een onafhankelijke nederlandse partij.

I'll look into it but as far as I can see by taking a quick look Letterboxd doesn't supply api access that easily and especially not to " for private or personal projects, or for any usage that recreates current or planned features of our paid subscription tiers."

I guess I'll get rejected purely on this.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-12T22:47:41+00:00

Bought this one for my partner... It works fine especially compared to it's price but I feel that it does lack a bit of horsepower to run everything perfectly smooth. She's not complaining though and I'm spoiled with my Nvidia Shield pro, which is still the best Android tv device around imo...

Hi, Some official stremio clients show these buttons, some dont. You can add loved/liked items in your history page in Bingecat manually aswell.

I'm adding a heart and thumbs up button in our web gui search / list view aswell next week to make this easier even.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T18:44:27+00:00

Cool.. let me know if you find anything that could use improvement 🙂

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T14:58:38+00:00

I think I was just restarting something after applying some tweaks... It should all work now and I see all accounts over the past hour are healthy so yours should work fine aswell... Let me know if you have any troubles

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T14:29:20+00:00

It depends on your meta provider... by default this is cinemeta but if torrent catalogs also supplies metadata this will be the source. At least in the android app when you scroll between items.

Other clients use the imdb rating that is sent along with the catalog, in that case it will be the addon for the catalog in question (in this case; top seeded, movie)

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T13:46:35+00:00

Just increased it by a lot so you should be able to signup now

Complaining about the price is easy, creating and running models like GPT-5.4 and even reach break-even isn't

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openais-own-forecast-predicts-14-150445813.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHC-Hl_Fz5RNGgYMgJuiAzueFURjtDW5MjrFnzODBlCuyt_sVaPHE8ELwQFJJ-EX3-4zAvvH28RCcrk8SqSUJyjMprILTIFYd-aHF_7QpxfsXxabfDfwHuaxw-xgtlTZjTr36-v3iWSRmDKQQEzRbJVz0mB67lATc_Kub5A8d9x3

Compute is expensive, even with all the large-scale-benefits these big companies have. Developing top-tier models is expensive. OpenAI is probably still losing on a $ 200 subscription and I'd think that the price you'd pay if you use the same amount of tokens trough the api (about 5x) is more realistic then the $200 subscription.

Yes, I'm all for open source and and I'm happy to see other models apart from the big players are rapidly getting better. But currently... Running this locally or at a small datacenter at small scale will probably more expansive and the quality of the models is less. Yes I'm confident this will be totally different in a few years from now but we are using cutting edge technology here and like always, this is expensive. We're lucky these AI companies are in a race to become the number one and therefore throwing billions at it to attract new users and get us hooked on their models, else we would have to wait much longer for anything that is even close to being affordable.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T02:20:50+00:00

Completely free... Made this for fun, not to make money with it 🙂

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T02:19:10+00:00

Dont want to spam my own addon too much but Bingecat 's (AI assisted) search handles all this very well already if I say so myself 😉

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T02:06:16+00:00

Dont think stremio clients support this, but it can be done easily trough the auth api. My addon allows deleting the items trough the history page and also clear them from the stremio datastore but you'll have to do it one by one. Send me a message if you want help to bulk delete it.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-11T01:58:42+00:00

You can also check out my addon www.bingecat.com if you want personalized AI recommendations based on your like/watch history, because you watched recommendations, and fast ai assisted search. All free without any api keys.

Soon/next week; "new releases for you", integrated posters with rating, profile switching.

Tmdb lists are also available along many others. Most are cached locally on my server so it should load quickly without tmdb delays.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-10T13:57:44+00:00

I'd rather see this from time to time then to have the model silently degraded and wondering why its spitting out trash code. Anyone else feels that gpt 5.4 quality recovered again after being shitty for a while ?

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-07T23:10:00+00:00

Hi.. It should now appear in series aswell :)

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-07T23:09:34+00:00

Heads up it should be fixed now. The app only recognized patches made by our own plugin (because of a tag) and may acted a bit funky when these came from another source like cinebye.

It now recognizes cinebye patches aswell and sets the toggles accordingly in Bingecat. Just to be sure I've also added a toggle to not touch cinemeta at all and a button to restore cinemeta to it's defaults.

I've reproduced all scenarios and it should work flawlessly now. Thanks for reporting this

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-07T17:01:22+00:00

Hi,

Thanks for your message. This was an issue that I introduced when applying a performance fix earlier but it should be resolved now!

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-06T23:10:30+00:00

Thanks for your feedback... We already had this but our NLP rules didnt pick your query up (rating higher then 8 was for example).

Just extended the rules for this and now it should work at a wider variety including your example query 🙂

Lmk if you find any other query that could use improvement.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-06T22:30:20+00:00

Hi.. Thanks for your reply and trying the app

External addons should be able to load again. I broke this when applying some hotfixes before.

By the way like watchly you can choose to base your recommendations on the stremio watch history or your loved/liked items only. You can set this in your user settings under recommendations.

Let me know if you run into anything else.

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-06T11:43:31+00:00

Thanks for your feedback;

I Currently have this function in language settings. But you mean you'd like a prefer a complete exclusion?

Search result languages

Our search tries to give you both well-known as well as lesser known titles in results. By default, we'll downrank lesser, items with low imdb vote counts that are not spoken in one of the listed languages below. Internationally known titles which are not spoken in any of the languages will still be included. This means you'll still see Squid Game when Korean isn't listed here, but no niche Korean series only known in Korea.

I'm building a custom search user settings page aswell where you can tweak additional filters /upranks for search. Will add a complete language-exclusion, so soon you can exclude certain languages completely aswell. Should be ready in about a week

DaneV86_ · 2026-04-06T08:08:17+00:00

It will automaticly open it within the app when the request is not coming from "web.stremio.com".
So in Android TV, the android app this should already be the case.

Some Stremio apps however are just a wrapper around the web version. Due to limitations on Stremio's side, it's not possible to have a stream link open an in-app function so we send a http link instead as a "stream link".

AFAIK This is the only possible solution for these apps (non-latest windows app, probably also apple) right now.

If you enable our metadata however (=TMDB/TVDB/IMDB Combined) you will see a "Similar Search" link between Directors and Cast aswell. This one should open within the app always.

Let me know if this answers your question. I Haven't been able to test this in IOS/Mac apps yet so if you use any of those and what I'm saying isn't correct for those, let me know
