It’s been a long time since the last update again, but this time it’s another big one! So big in fact, that we had to include a table of contents:
– What is Stremio Web and how to use it
– Android TV v1.5.8 Release
– Stremio Desktop v4.4.160 Release
What is Stremio Web and how to use it
We are very happy to announce the official release of Stremio Web!
We have been working on this project for many years, and we would like to thank all those in the community that joined us in building it.
But how does it work? Stremio Web is a project that can be used either alone or with the Stremio Service companion app.
When using it without the companion app (and thus with the server disconnected), Stremio Web will be able to play only browser supported sources, this means that it does not support all video/audio decoders and that it cannot play torrents.
When the companion app is connected, you will be able to use a fully featured Stremio app in your browser.
If you wish to know how to install and use Stremio Web along with Stremio Service, you can read about that in this article.
Many users have also chosen to use Stremio Web (without the companion app) on iPhone and iPad, for a more feature rich experience compared to the Stremio Organizer app that is available in the App Store. If you wish to learn how to use Stremio Web on iPhone / iPad in this way, there is an article available for that.
It should also be noted that Stremio Desktop also runs its own service, and can be used instead of the Stremio Service app to act as a companion app for Stremio Web. This means that if you have Stremio Desktop installed and running, you can also use Stremio Web to its full capacity on the same device without needing to install Stremio Service too.
And for those that are tech savy, we also created a docker version of Stremio Service.
Stremio Web and Stremio Service are both fully open source projects, and can be found on the following github pages:

Thanks
Nice to see you are working on improving the app, well done and thanks!
it’s a lot better than it was – i get hd video now, where i had very blocky low res video before. shame theres no scroll wheel volume control and the stream info button (showing bitrate % downloaded etc) is greyed out. very useful though, i’ll use this and the service from now on.
thanks for all of you whos developing this amazing app! i hope soon stremio will have watch later feature, or save film specially on phone. Thanks
awesome – thanks for the hard work
I just cant believe this is happening! Amazing!
Can I watch stremio on iPhone/iPad? When i try to watch on it, I get an option to open an external player but it doesnt do anything
i am having the same problem could anyone help with this please,
Try going on the stremio downloads and download from there. Make sure it’s an updated version. It works great on my phone and laptop (I’ve used it for 3 different phone switches due to technical issues with my phone and for the past 5+ years)
On iphone you need Real Debrid (premium link subscription) for it to work. I’ve been using RD for years now and it works fine on iphone
Go to the stemio downloads and download the updated version there. It’s an apk but it honestly works amazing on my laptop and phone.
use VLC and it will open it (if supported)
Great update I hope you can add the label where shows the actors that are in the movie🎥👍📺
God bless you guys with all the tiddies. ♥️
Love Stremio and new features. Few I would love added:
1: Volume booster for android TV.
2: Time and Ended time while playing
3: Film collections so you don’t need to manually search for Sequels in a franchise.
+1
Collections and/or lists are a must! Learn from Letterboxd please!
Very nice. Congrats!
The only problem that I saw with Stremio Web was that the pop-up with the episodes list (with TV shows) doesn’t appear like with the desktop app. Besides that, very nice.
It would be good if you guys have discord server!
Thank you for all the effort in making the best app possible!
I hope to see adding a subtitle file to a tv show or movie from the device.
of course the Stremio app can add external substitles to tv show or movie, if you use Window OS, you can drag the external sub and drop it directly into the show/movie
We would like to update the sound from simple stereo to at least 5,1 DTS. That would be really nice.
thank you all for giving us the best streaming app! we owe you hours and hours of entertaining.
Se atualizar alguma dessas opções ou instalar algo perde-se as addons originais?
Novas versões costumam ser restritivas, oferecendo bem menos opções de fontes, ou apenas fontes “árabes”, ou versões com áudio de pouca qualidade, além de um catálogo menor.
Precisamos de atualizações não restritivas ou negativas.
Obrigado
ı m so glad used to this app thank you all

Thanks for this amazing app. You guys truly rock.
obrigado, isso e incrivel
really good
great updates! thank you very much for your hard work
Is there a donation link somewhere?
Thanks for this wonderful application, the best one with Debrid.
Would be good if we can sort the movies in the library by name on android tv.
how can i help stremio?
In the Android TV app –
Please add sub-division for the torrents resolutions, so I can easily navigate to 720P, 480P. 1080P and so on.
Right now, the only division is the source of the Torrents.
Thanks
MTO
i had some isues before .i hope that they are solved
before this app i had so much difficulties to watch stuff but this app makes it soo easy to watch and maintain library of my fav shows/movies. I am very grateful to you all who are behind/part of streamio team and wish you all the happiness of this world!! <3
good job!
Not working with High Sierra version (10.13.6 MacOS).
We recently learned that the new version crashes on High Sierra and Mojave, we stopped updates on these versions while we investigate and created a new download option for them, see: https://www.stremio.com/downloads?macos-downloads
Hi !
First, Thank you so much for your effort, and I want to tell you that the method of Stremio Service companion app doesn’t work in Brave browser.
anyone here has the issues that the video cannot load the subtitle and the external subtitles cannot be added to video in the Stremio latest version? This issues are so annoying, i have to uninstall this app and install the previous ver, fortunately i still keep the previous ver download file.
Thank you. I hope one day you guys can update the UI.
great app guys keep the good work
i’ve been using it for 2 years now and I’m still discovering new content that i can watch in the app
just one thing if u could add a search bar for the discover page that would be great.
Completely stopped working on my mac , trying to use the web , no Addons work
such a shame, was good while it lasted.

Video Not Supported. Open in External Player when trying to watch anything in https://web.stremio.com/
Check the settings of Stremio Web, is the server online? What device?
so good thankyouuuuuu >3
Team, streamio is a great platform.
Man, extremely grateful for always updating and adding new stuff on this already great app!
After the update the ExoPlayer keeps on crashing on Android TV 9. When loading a stream the screen will flash blue and sound of stream will play. Had to switch to external player (VLC) to watch movies/series
When I’m on the Web Stremio, it doesn’t have any sound. Why does it happen?
Then you did not set a default external player in the settings. All audio tracks work when an external player is used.
Probably because it’s still a beta app in progress. Try reloading it.
That is an amazing approach but please can you maybe make it compatable with Lg tvs in the future ?
I really enjoy this app but why android tv app uses 261mb of storage . I couldn’t update the app from play store and kept getting error messages until I deleted some cache from others apps and uninstalled other apps. I use Google TV 4k. stremio version 1.5.8 com.stremio.one (it’s the app that uses more storage from my apps by far)
Color theme options PLEASE
I want to thank the whole team that has made this wonderful app possible. Good job guys
Thank you for what you’re doing, always supporting you, STREMIO
Well done! Would an Apple TV app be in the works? 😀
Stremio Web was working GREAT till today. It suddenly says “Video is not supported.” Server says its online. MacOS Ventura 13.0.
I LOVE YOU – keep doing what u r doing, there are people around the world that u actually changing their lives
Hey guys. Stremio hasn’t been working here for 2 days now. I’m from Brazil and when I open it, it almost instantly shuts down by itself. I already downloaded it again but the problem persists.
I appreciate any help someone could give me. Thanks.
Thank you guys you’re awesome!
Love the app! Thanks to everyone who has worked on it and keep up the great work!
awesome job guys, keep up the good work, really wish we could have a download button tho
constantly crashing on windows 11 . usually when trying to go full screen mode. AMD based pc
when update for the pc clients? it needs serious UI overhaul, and better joystick/gamepad support. Least i wanted is at least looked like the TV one but has more desktop Amazon prime looks and a little more customizable like Kodi, just for an idea
so when is the Stremio desktop be updated and has the same features and UI as the web version? i personally prefer desktop app variants since alot more versatile and has close to tray features. Please make it soon like the web version, or at least make a web app inside the desktop build.
Update is great thanks so much for the effort and the team. since the Stremio app is back on android & google TV’s i bought a Chromecast device solely to have stremio on my s95b TV. Here are some of finds i dug during my use. App works like magic, but the Frame rate match is a bit sluggish sometimes. it locks the chromecast to 24p at all times sometimes that is if the Framerate option from the chromecast settings is set to seamless. Secondly i found that a caching option is a bit necessary for large torrent files such as 4k hdr10+, i do get 4mb/s down for a bit then it drops down and just before its gonna buffer it gets faster. I know that a lot of issues are introduced when caching is on however i think if 1gb caching is allowed it would fix a lot of streaming large files. Again Thank you so much for all the love you share via this amazing app an as appreciative community i hope my comments are put under consideration.
As of version 1.5.11, Stremio doesn’t have any sound. I’m using an Nvidia Shield Pro 2022. I checked all settings / tried everything but can not get it to work. Really is a Stremio issue. Please fix!
No sound on many series on Stremio Web. Is it me or others have the same problem?
I tried different browsers !
Will Stremio Web work in LG TVs with WebOS? I’ll try it and let you know.
Very nice. Congrats!
Thank you for the hard work.
Amazing developers, thank you so much
Is possible to can create an New option to user can set an “buffer Size” for Android tv app? I think of create an Size tô set starting in 100Mb to 1Gb cache Size (disabled By default) can be good and works well, because user can set it according to device…
Os not possível return again The cache option as an New option “Buffer Size”?… I think and Believe can be very good! Please devs, see my ideia, think about it
most of the video doesn’t work on mac os. i am using edge browser. seems like some codec issue
