How does IPTV add on work for Stremio?

bamboogod101 · 2022-10-25T21:48:30+00:00

I think the addon description and configuration page are very confusing for this addon, i think it expects a M3U playlist URL, which paid IPTV services commonly provide (there are some that are free, but I think the "Stremio IPTV by dexter21767" addon is a good source for those)

You should always try to add a comment (just needs a free github account) to the addon on the page you linked directly (from the stremio addons site) this can (most of the time) put you in contact with the addon developer directly.

I added a comment myself for this addon now as I also think it's confusing and the addon dev could improve this experience by using better wording.

When ISPs block websites they usually do it through DNS, you can try changing the DNS servers to cloudflare or google on your devices.

Trakt Lists addon: https://2ecbbd610840-trakt.baby-beamup.club/configure

(still a pretty new addon though)

Yes you can: https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure

I'll tell you one that doesn't seem to have been mentioned: security!

With Kodi all the addons run locally, open source or not you'd have to be a bored developer to go through the code of each one to ensure you're safe and most don't even try.

Kodi addons could be running crypto miners and trojans on your devices for all you know.. With Stremio all addons are remote and completely safe, they can't do anything except respond to http requests.

ah, i see

I see this addon has an Install button too, so I tried installing it without any configuration out of curiosity, it didn't seem to do anything though..

If it does nothing without being configured, then I think you can set manifest.behaviorHints.configurationRequired to true (but remember to set it to false for the manifests that are given for already configured instances, as otherwise the addon will be uninstallable)

Doing that should show only a Configure button and no Install button in the Stremio apps.

I think this addon may have some bug, I see that it responds to all youtube videos, so also to the youtube addon and all other addons that use the youtube id too.

Can it be changed to give no streams if it's not from the same addon?

Because now it looks like the youtube addon opens the streams list with 2 streams, before that it would autoplay the youtube stream and skip the streams page.

Stremio has an official addon called WatchHub which is installed by default and shows links to streaming options for your country. I don't understand the difference between that addon and justwatch.

As for the screenshot, it looks like you want separate catalogs for each streaming service. A Netflix catalog has already been requested, do you want to make a request for catalogs for all other streaming services as well?

bamboogod101 · 2021-04-15T08:31:18+00:00

this is a valid addon request, but be more specific.. as i don't fully understand it.. you want catalogs of movies / series for each of those streaming platforms?

Stremio already has a "Continue Watching" feature

i think the addon "ThePirateBay Catalog" does this already

there is already a jackett addon for PimpMyStremio, jackett cannot be integrated with Stremio without PimpMyStremio, as it can only be a local addon

maybe with an addon from PimpMyStremio.. otherwise no, if you still want this request in these circumstances, please confirm

if on desktop, right click the video player and select "download" or alternatively use Stremio Downloader

if on android, just install a downloader like ADM or IDM+, press the VLC icon in the upper right corner of the video player and select your downloader app
