WHAT IS STREMIO?
Table of Contents
Stremio is a modern media center that’s a one-stop solution for your video entertainment. You discover, watch and organize video content from easy to install addons.
Movies, TV shows, live TV or web channels – find all this on Stremio.
A Look at the Basic Features
One of the main benefits associated with Stremio is that it allows users to compile a selection of videos from numerous different websites. As opposed to being forced to navigate to each provider separately, all files can be accessed from within this centralised portal. Not only can this save a significant amount of time, but it is possible to customise different playlists by adjusting the personal settings that are offered. This package works in conjunction with major media hubs such as Twitch, YouTube and Amazon. However, please note that an add-on will need to make a request for a file as opposed to the user being able to download it immediately.
Stremio provides an intuitive search function that allows clients to find a file based off of title, characters, release date or genre. Viewing history, the current video library and the appearance of the skins themselves can all be modified with only a few simple steps.

- all major operating systems are supported by this application.
CONS
- Users will be faced with in-app advertisements.
- some of the newest films and television series may not be available for a significant amount of time.
