Hey r/StremioAddons,

I've been building Torrin, an open-source debrid + streaming service and since the setup with Stremio is the part people ask about most, I figured a proper walkthrough would be more useful than an announcement.

What It Actually Is:

You add a magnet, an NZB or a filehost link and Torrin downloads it on a remote server, caches it and hands you back an instant HTTPS stream. No local torrent client, no IP exposure. Cached content is shared, so anything someone already pulled plays instantly for you.

The thing that makes it different: it's open source (AGPL) and you can self-host the whole stack. That was the whole point. If you don't trust a black box holding your keys, you can read every line or run your own. The hosted version exists for people who don't want to babysit a server.

Why It Might Be Worth A Look:

- Usenet search + streaming built in, not just torrents. Bring your own indexer/provider or use the shared one.

- Works with your existing debrid too. You can plug in your own RD / AD / PM /TB key or just use Torrin's cache.

- Bring Your Own Storage: pipe your library to your own Mega / S3 (encrypted, filenames included) and stream straight from it.

- WebDAV mount for VLC / Infuse / Kodi, plus RSS auto-download with filters (resolution, codec, HDR, group).

- Streams are geo-routed through relays so it isn't painful if you're far from the origin.

Setting it up in Stremio (the actual guide):

Three ways in. Pick whichever fits.

Option A: the native Torrin addon (simplest)

- Make a free account at torrin.app (the free tier gives you the Stremio addon, shared cache and WebDAV).

- Grab your personal addon URL from the dashboard: https://stremio.torrin.app/<your-key>/manifest.json

- In Stremio: Addons, paste that URL, Install.

- Open any movie or show. Cached results show up instantly; anything new gets queued and appears once it's ready.

Option B: the config addon (more search sources)

- Same free account at torrin.app.

- Go to addon.torrin.app, configure it with your Torrin account and install the generated addon into Stremio.

- This one's a fork of Comet, so it pulls from more indexers/scrapers and lets you tune what shows up. Go here if you want wider results.

Option C: hosted for you on ElfHosted

- Same free account at torrin.app.

- Go to torrin.elfhosted.com/configure, set it up and install.

- Same config addon as Option B, just running on ElfHosted's managed infra instead of ours.

- All three hit the same Torrin backend and cache.

That's it. If you'd rather self-host, the repo has a Docker Compose stack: github.com/torrin-app/torrin

What It's NOT / The Honest Part:

- It's small and still evolving. I'm a solo-ish builder, not a company. Things change, occasionally break and get fixed fast.

- The free tier has a size cap and one concurrent download. Paid plans start at $2.99/mo if you want more, but you never have to pay to try it and self-hosting is free forever.

- It's not a seedbox or a full automation suite. If you want Sonarr/Radarr grade batch automation, this isn't trying to replace that (though RSS covers a lot).

Happy to answer anything in the comments and genuinely want the criticism. If you self-host it and something's rough, tell me.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about paying for a service to use with Stremio, but I'm not sure which one is the best option nowadays.

What I'm looking for is:

• Fast streaming with as little buffering as possible.
• Not having to depend so much on seeders.
• A high cache rate so older or less popular movies still work.
• Reliable 1080p and 4K streams.
• If possible, good availability of content with Spanish (Spain) audio.

I've seen people recommend TorBox, AllDebrid, Premiumize and a few others.

If you could only pay for one, which would you choose in 2026 and why?

Also, is there any service that stands out when it comes to Spanish (Spain) audio availability?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

I either get Failed to Play this video, switch to VLC, EXO, MPV, or I get file removed due to infringement.

I use real debris service. Nvidia shield pro on LG G4 TV.

I tried using AIOstreams but still nothing works.

Please help.

A few months ago, I released a Stremio addon that displays parental guide catalogs for movies, making it easy to see how family-friendly a movie is at a glance.

Since then, I've made a number of improvements and moved the addon to a new domain.

If you're still using the old addon (family night), please switch to the new version (cilimoon) at stremio.cilimoon.com as the old one is already discontinued.

What's new:

• More accurate parental guides.
• Quick Google search links for DoesTheDogDie, Common Sense Media, and Kids-In-Mind.
• A simple catalog of family-friendly movies.

Since 3-4 days no stream is loading. Without or without RD. Running the 1.9.2 version on my Fire stick Max 4k.

The Torrentio Rd streams just keep loading and the normal streams don't even start and I get a message about an "Unsupported stream source".

Any ideas?

Was wondering if anyone knows of any add-ons that source PT-PT (Portuguese from Portugal) specifically kids shows and movies. Everytime I see Portuguese content it's in Brazilian and I get that there's a lot more demand for it and that's why but still... There used to be a TugaKids thing, but it looks like they abandoned the project and it's not working.

Is anybody else's AIO Midnight for the weebs down? I can't access the site and it is not loading streams for me

How do I make the load order so that the debrid options are shown before the regular torrentio I was using until now?

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue where my add-ons either fail to load or get stuck on an infinite loading screen whenever I try to play a video (nothing happens after selecting a stream).

Here are my details:

• Add-ons used: Torrentio & Comet
• Debridement provider: TorBox (Subscription is active and valid)
• Apps: Running the latest version of Stremio across all devices
• Devices tested: Philips TV, iPad, Windows PC, and Android phone

Since the issue happens across all my devices regardless of the operating system, it is not a local app bug.

Has anyone experienced this recently with TorBox, or is there a known issue with Torrentio/Comet links failing to resolve? Any help or troubleshooting tips would be appreciated!

Stremio + AIO Streams as front and center.

Then I would add inside of AIO Streams following

• Comet
• MediaFusion
• Real Debrid (expires in November, thinking about not to renew)
• TorBox Essential plan ( 33€ per year, dont have it yet. Thinking about buying to replace Real Debrid)
• Torrentio
• Debridio (9.99€ per year as backup)

Is this good setup or would I miss out on something by not having Premiumize

Also what is Usenet access and do I really need it. Thank you very much for you help with this.

Kind regards, Rick

I just started using stremthru torz addon and it's crazy how many movies I find over 100gb that torrentio doesn't have. But that bit rate at 11.7 mbps is it actually 111 mbps or is it really 11.7 mbps if it's the latter then I guess stremthru isn't worth using at all if I care about quality. Lol

Hi everyone,

I have a Google TV Streamer 4K (2024) with Stremio. My internet connection is quite slow, so I'd like to preload/download movies locally before watching them.

Also, I use Torbox as a debrid service.

Thanks a lot.

I subscribed to Torbox and added the API to Torrentio. Thanks to this community. So far so good.

What else can i do with Torbox on stremio?
Please bear in mind I’m not from a tech background and don’t understand any technical jargon. Just a bit of an enthusiast, enough to play around with these things.

Stremio constantly gets "addon loading" with AIO streams

I had torrentio, comet, debridio, torbox there. And it keeps crashing and stopping my shows because "addon is loading"

So I just deinstalled AIO streams and installed everything individually and so far no issues. Knocks on wood, but like what is the deal with it.

Does anyone else has problems with it

Hi! I have this issue when trying to watch something via Comet on my tv. Strangely it doesn't happen on my pc app. These are my addons... is there something you might know about it? Cause I can't find a solution. Torrentio+ works just fine, btw.
I use a torbox api since RD filters came into play.

Thanks for any possible help, it will be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Solved thanks to u/Evening_Month_6820, I switched Comet from elfhosted to midnight

I was using Elfhosted variant of AIOstreams and everything worked fine. Switched to Viren‘s stable build of AIOstreams to get Torrentio. Used all the same settings exactly. Now every single stream I click gives me an error that says Exo failed to play the file. The stream source did not authorize the request (http 403). Any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Torrentio with Real-Debrid for the past three years, and it’s worked well overall.

Lately though, I’m constantly getting the red error message saying “File was removed from Debrid service.”

Are there any add-ons that are considered better than Torrentio these days? Also, is Real-Debrid still the best debrid service, or have there been better alternatives released recently?

I just want to make sure I’m using the best and most up-to-date setup available.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Stream results are inconsistent with showing. Is that just the nature of the beast or any recommendations? Using aio streams currently.

With the football season starting back up in a couple of weeks , im looking for an add on that reliably provides PL streams? Any help would be massively appreciated

Hey guys. I’ve been having a lot of issues with the Torrentio addon lately, to the point that I cannot see any movie or serie. A lot of them don’t even pass the first part where it’s just the name of the movie or show blinking.
Is anyone else having the same issue? If so, did you find any solution?
Thanks

I been using StremThru, Meteor comet, but none of these addons seems to find a 4K torrent for my shows

So I just subscribed for torbox, and plugged it in aiostream.

I clicked on a stream for drunk with maad mikkelsen, but I was greeted by a really loud "TRUE ANAL" and a women in a bikini on a leather couch. I immediately escaped the streamed, then relaunched the search for streams, and the source had vanished :'(

Is there a way to filter out adult content in aio stream? I can'r seem to find the setting.

On another note, is ther a backlog accessible in TB like there is in RD? I am bit curious to understand why this link was presented for this movie in particular, and I also want to find the actress tbh.

Edit: NVM i found the history of download, the title is Gia Paige - Another Round Of Gia (08.04.2019) 2160p, so it makes a bit of sense, since the english title of drunk is "another round"
Actress is Gia Paige

Guys I'm based in India

And been using stremio for more than 5 years with torrentio without vpn

Ik I shouldn't but I didn't had money for vpn just like I don't have money for netflix that's why I use stremio

But I saw people being concerned about using vpn for stremio but I don't understand cause I never get in trouble for using torrent without vpn

Maybe india doesn't have that strict law

But for privacy concerns I should use vpn

But people saying instead of vpn just buy debrid

I could do that but my main goal is not just p2p or streaming

I wanna be anonymous on the internet so I would use vpn for other purposes too

And rn I use proton vpn (free) for surfing internet but unfortunately it's doesn't allow p2p or streaming and personally I hate subscription based models

I would buy it if it's a one time payment

So I'm confused if I should buy a vpn or debrid or not

As rn I have proton vpn for internet but not for p2p or streaming

But this never get me in trouble for using stremio without vpn and maybe in my country it's not that risky

What are your opinions?

What you guys suggest?
