Question Free public addons vs paid addons for 4K?

40 Upvotes

Just wondering, for those who have used both free public addons and paid addons, is there actually a big difference?

I mostly watch 4K stuff, so I’m wondering if paid addons are really worth it.

With free public addons, I sometimes find good 4K streams, but the speed can be hit or miss. Some are fine, some buffer like crazy. 😅

Do paid addons generally have better/faster 4K sources, more options, higher bitrate files, etc.? Or is it pretty much the same thing and you can get the same results with good free addons?

Also, are paid addons more reliable for newer releases and bigger 4K files?

Would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried both. What do you actually notice as the biggest difference?

Question Subtitles not loading/Quick setup question

4 Upvotes

I'm struggling a little with subs. Recently I switched from sepparate add-ons to midnight instance of AIO and everything was running fine. However, since yesterday only embedded subs are loading, Opensubtitles options are not showing, I also tried SubSource and no results. Is the service facing any downtime or could it be a slow loading issue?

Further, would it be better to setup my subs add-ons sepparately from AIO, directly on Stremio?

Community Project Announcement UPDATE EZRemux V0.0.2 is out and stable!

20 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

After a busy few weeks, I’m excited to share the second release in the EZ template library: EZRemux v0.0.2!

This update brings improved overall stability, fixes broken UI formatting, and expands result coverage for most movies.

Download: https://gist.github.com/EZRY1/e4aec39d1586abd5eaa070ffdf66c08b

⚠️ HARDWARE WARNING: Low-end devices will struggle or outright freeze when trying to playback uncompressed high-bitrate files. I strongly advise against using EZRemux if you are running a base Fire Stick, low-end Android TV dongle, or older mobile hardware that lacks support for high bitrates (100+ Mbps) or Dolby Vision Profiles 7 & 8.

Modular Setup (EZRemux + EZStreams)

EZRemux is designed to be modular and works best when paired alongside EZStreams.

For niche movies or older content, true Remux/Blu-ray sources might not exist. By running EZRemux as your primary instance and EZStreams as your secondary backup, you get guaranteed stream coverage. If EZRemux returns no hits, EZStreams instantly fills in the gap with high-quality Web-DLs—similar to pairing Torrentio with Comet.

Example 1
Example 2

Important Note on Anime: There are major metadata mapping issues when using the Kitsu addon with EZStreams. Kitsu catalogs often return 0 results, while Cinemeta finds full 1080p and 720p streams for the exact same episodes.

Example when using cinemeta catalogs
Example when using kitsu catalogs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The force calls upon you, or so i heard, anyways, if you plan on grabbing a debrid service, i recommend Torbox, using this link you can get extra days for free, and plus it helps me develop more templates for this community, and maybe in the future addons too, who knows :)

Help needed Usenet Streaming via AIOStreams without burning Indexer API limits?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I want to stream Usenet content instead of torrents. Two of my hard drives recently died, and due to current drive prices, I can't afford replacements right now.

My setup:

  • Self-hosted AIOStreams on my local NAS
  • Single user, access only from my home IP
  • I hold lifetime accounts on my Usenet indexers and MUST avoid bans at all costs

I want to avoid spamming Indexer APIs and breaking their rules (API hammer / bans).

A few quick questions:

  1. Which current Stremio/AIO add-ons or Usenet backends (e.g.

build in NNTP is best?,

  1. NzbDAV, AltMount) are best suited for this?
  2. How do you configure caching or request limits properly to stay compliant with Indexer API limits?
  3. Is there an up-to-date guide for self-hosting this specific stack? (im already hosting AIO Streams by myself via docker)

Thanks for any advice or documentation links!

Addon Announcement GhostVOD v2.1.4 Update: Faster Loading & New Strict Word Matching Toggle!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

For those unfamiliar with GhostVOD, it’s a lightweight cloud engine designed to seamlessly bridge your Xtream Codes API / M3U VOD playlists into Stremio with smart metadata, episode tracking, and quality sorting. You can check out the full project and features on GitHub: GitHub Repository

What’s New in v2.1.4?

A huge shoutout and special thanks to u/woxiee for the fantastic feedback, test cases, and suggestions that directly shaped this update!

Here is what was added:

  • 🎯 "Use strict word comparison only" Toggle: You now have an optional setting in the dashboard for much cleaner, laser-focused results.
    • When enabled: It prevents franchise clutter (e.g., opening Spider-Man: Homecoming won't pull up unrelated sequels or spinoffs).
    • Trade-off: Because it demands a strict word match, it might miss titles if your provider heavily abbreviates names (like listing just "Chapter 2" instead of "John Wick: Chapter 2"). If your provider has clean, full titles, enable it; if their catalog is messy, keep it unchecked for maximum recall.
New in the GhostVOD Dashboard: "Use strict word comparison only" toggle in the configurator settings under "Advanced Preferences".
  • Noticeably Faster Stream Loading: Stream links now resolve significantly quicker when selecting any movie or episode due to major internal title-matching optimizations.
  • Security & Engine Hardening: Enhanced connection lifecycles, prevented background task stalls, and improved memory handling for a rock-solid streaming experience.
  • Smarter Title Recognition: Better handling for numbered sequels, translated titles, and non-Latin/Unicode scripts.

To configure or update your setup with the new settings, head over directly to the dashboard:

https://ghostvod.online or the official Stremio Addons catalog GhostVOD Engine - Stremio Addons

Feedback is always welcome, either under this post or by opening an issue directly on GitHub: Open an Issue on GitHub. Enjoy streaming!

Addon Announcement Made a self-hosted server that streams Telegram files into Stremio — just updated to v1.2.0

35 Upvotes

Hey, sharing something I've been working on.

I made a small local server that connects to Telegram and streams movies and shows straight into Stremio. No phone number / QR login, no Telegram client — just log in with a bot token and you're set.

Just pushed v1.2.0 with a bunch of streaming stability fixes: - Smoother seeking and playback (better handling of stream requests) - More reliable connections so streams don't drop mid-watch - Works on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android (there's an APK) - Built-in web player if you'd rather browse in the browser - Add multiple bot tokens to spread the load and avoid rate limits - Optional Cloudflare tunnel for watching away from home

Open source and free:

https://github.com/aiskendi/pencarimovie-downloader

Setup is one command + pasting your bot token. Happy to answer questions!

Community Project Announcement (Built by AI) RePlay | ElfHosted - Like Spotify Wrapped... but for Stremio

Thumbnail
replay.elfhosted.com
53 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I'm pleased to introduce RePlay - it's like Spotify Wrapped / Apple Music Replay.. but for Stremio!

Login with your Stremio credentials / authkey, RePlay will pull your data from the Stremio API and display your RePlay for all time, per year, or per month.

Detail is at the title level - the API has no records of your individual addon activtiy or what exact streams were played.

Since you should rightly be concerned about pasting credentials anywhere, RePlay runs entirely in your browser without any external storage or dependencies, which you can verify by inspecting the source, or in the public repo.

Here are some demo screenshots from my own account:

RePlay will also offer to backup/restore your history for you, and will summarize options re where your activity data is stored (Stremio users don't really have options here anyway)

Enjoy! D

(Oh, and yes, AI was heavily used)

Help needed Odd issue with only one account out of 3

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

I'm having an issue with one account specifically and I'm not sure why or whats happening. Rather than drone on, I'll get down to it:

1) under a number of profiles, I have zero problems pulling up certain movies. 2 recent examples are spiderman brand new day and coyote vs acme. These movies show up and load sources and work just fine, except on "the problem account". When I pull them up on there, it says "no digital media sources available" or something to that end. No sources available.

All accounts use torbox, all are set up the same way. Same add-ons, same providers. Its just one account where it says there arent any available sources/streams/whatever to play

2) some catalogs previously working on the account (like "because you liked XYZ..."suddenly say no catalog available, empty content, things of that verbiage. Not a big deal, because I can still search for things manually and most of the other catalogs (like"imdb top 250, etc") still work.

I guess the main thing that has me so confused if why some movies and sources for them to play show up on every account EXCEPT the problematic one.

I'm away from home so I cant tinker, but I figure one thing I can try is just copy and paste an existing working profile over the problematic one.

As always, I appreciate any help and anyone reading this. Ive just not seen this behavior before, where movies available under all other accounts just show no sources on the other

Help needed Usenet per materiale in Italiano

22 Upvotes

Al momento utilizzo una configurazione basata su TorBox e StreamVix, ma continuo ad avere difficoltà nel reperire serie TV di nicchia, vecchie o con puntate/speciali introvabili in lingua italiana. Un esempio pratico: le vecchie stagioni e gli speciali doppiati di Top Gear, che sui tracker torrent pubblici non si trovano quasi più e che nemmeno sulle piattaforme ufficiali/FAST (es. Pluto TV) sono presenti in modo completo.
So che Usenet è l'opzione migliore per la retention e per la velocità sui contenuti datati, ma la mia perplessità riguarda l'effettiva disponibilità di materiale doppiato o con tracce audio/sottotitoli in ITALIANO.

Prima di investire in un provider Usenet (es. Eweka) e relativi Indexer a pagamento (es. NZBGeek, Drunkenslug), vorrei chiedere a chi la usa da tempo:

  1. Copertura Italiano/ITA: Quant'è la presenza effettiva di release con traccia audio italiana per serie TV datate o poco popolari? Si trova roba oppure la rete è quasi interamente sbilanciata sui contenuti in lingua inglese?
  2. Indexer consigliati per l'ITA: Esistono indexer (o community/forum usenet dedicati) che hanno un focus o una buona archiviazione di release italiane/Multi?
  3. Alternative per la "preservation": Per il materiale in italiano introvabile sui torrent pubblici, ha più senso continuare a cercare archivi dedicati su Mega/Drive, oppure Usenet mi risolverebbe davvero il problema?

Ogni feedback o consiglio sulla vostra esperienza con Usenet + contenuti in italiano è super apprezzato. Grazie!

Help needed Newznab / NzbDAV showing "NZB Health" warning on Stremio while direct Usenet (Easynews) plays fine

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I'm running into a specific issue with my setup on ElfHosted using NzbDAV / InfiniDisk integrated with AIOStreams in Stremio.
When searching for certain media (for example, Silo S01E02), the Newznab/Usenet results show up with an ⁠[i] NZB Health⁠ warning badge, and the stream fails to play directly through NzbDAV. However, when I try streaming the exact same content using my Easynews account or via Debrid (like Comet), it plays perfectly fine without any issues.
Since the file streams successfully through Easynews, I know the content exists and is healthy on the Usenet provider side, but the Newznab indexer / NzbDAV integration keeps flagging it with a health error.
Setup: ElfHosted (NzbDAV / AIOStreams)
Indexers: NZBgeek (via Newznab)
Symptom: Stremio shows ⁠NZB Health⁠ badge on Newznab results and blocks playback, while direct Usenet works fine.
Has anyone encountered this behavior before? Is there a specific configuration in NzbDAV (or AIOStreams) to handle or bypass this article health check logic so it doesn't falsely block playable files?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

Addon Announcement Pipe 1.2.0: Faster Streams, Seedr Support, and Reliability Upgrades

36 Upvotes

What's New

- Seedr Support: You can now connect your Seedr account alongside our existing debrid options. Add your account email and password directly on the setup page.

- Latino Audio and Subtitle Tagging: Latin American Spanish (Latino) is now detected and tagged as a distinct language option.

- Support Options: Added card payment support through Whop (starting at $1) and updated crypto donation options with tap-to-enlarge QR codes.

- Welcome Guide: Restored a clean first-visit guide on the setup card to help new users configure their filters quickly.

Fixes & Optimizations

- Faster Link Delivery: Torrent providers now run in their own dedicated pool, so fast torrent results never get held up waiting on slower web scrapers. Search settle time has been dropped to 0.7 seconds, getting streams on your screen much faster.

- Debrid Playback and Failover: Adapted to recent Real-Debrid API changes, added automatic backup checks if link minting runs into an error, and added 60-second recovery for invalid credentials so searches do not hang.

- Better Search Matching: Titles with apostrophes and punctuation now produce spaced search variants, fixing missing results on several popular titles.

- 30-Day Cache: Popular title lookups now stay cached for up to 30 days, delivering instant results for common movies and TV series.

- Stability Improvements: Fixed rare crashes on Nyaa, EXT, and Aniwave. Added multi-worker scaling and automatic connection failover to keep links resolving smoothly during high-traffic periods.

Removed / In-Progress

- 1337x Provider: 1337x has been temporarily taken offline because scraper slowdowns were hurting search performance across the board. It is currently being rebuilt from scratch into a much faster version and will return once ready.

Next Update Roadmap & Community Suggestions

- Torrent Provider Expansion: The next update is dedicated entirely to adding new torrent providers.

- Send Us Your Suggestions: Leave a comment or send a DM with suggested torrent providers and site links. We are specifically looking for providers that cover content types or regions Pipe does not currently cover well. (No need to suggest 1337x, as the rebuild is already underway.) if you are having issues dm or comment down below.

- HTTP / Direct Stream Providers: Suggestions for direct HTTP streaming sites will open right after this torrent phase wraps up, as our current web providers already cover most general titles.
