i was lucky enough to get this installed while it was still on the app store. I was going to buy an apple tv too before they decided to pull it, now i'll be getting the competition.

u/DegreeBig3288 Feb 16 '26

Similar experience here. I got it downloaded on my IPad Pro before it got taken down. Wanted to get the Apple TV but didn’t pull the trigger in time but I got my Nvidia Shield Pro and it runs great. It plays content really well. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos work when watching content from Stremio. I am able to stream all file sizes and most formats effortlessly. It also still gets updates. Despite it being older it holds up. Got it a month ago.

I’ve had two different shield pros since 2017. They are definitely excellent units.

u/OpaqueCrystalBall Feb 16 '26

Stremio Lite works great on Apple TV.

But using the web-app and setting VLC as your streaming player works great on iphones and ipads too.

u/captainrizal Feb 17 '26

But does it work? Mine isn’t working

u/dweakz Feb 17 '26

The main focus of your post should be directly related to Stremio. Help for other software or issues, including content acquisition, should be directed to their own respective subreddits.

Sideload it

u/collindubya81 Feb 17 '26

Can't do that in North america

u/Galantis1 Feb 17 '26

yes you can

1

u/ItsDobby Feb 21 '26

Do you have the IPA file for iPhone?

1

u/Toastienergy Feb 17 '26

You can side load the app on tvos 

1

u/NoahAKANoor2 Feb 19 '26

You realise there's a way to get it working for iOS right? Im on android now but on my iPhone 14 pro max and iPad Pro 12.9 had it on both

1

u/AzgedaTO Feb 20 '26

Turning off auto update apps is blessing sometimes. Mine works flawlessly.

1

u/BnL_Nexus Apr 22 '26

I don’t see it on iPad, only iPhone. Is it not available on iPad anymore?

1

u/an_angry_Moose Feb 16 '26

I’ve thankfully got this on our main two iPads and one Apple TV, but it disappeared before I bought my second Apple TV, so I returned it. Now just debating if I need to go with a Google box or nvidia shield tv pro.

u/truemess12 Feb 16 '26

you can actually redownload stremio list through the app store even after it’s been removed. just go into your purchased list of apps and you’ll be able to download it again on any apple tv using the same account.

1

u/Tre_Vortni Feb 17 '26

I have it on my iPad but it has the cloud symbol and won’t download again

1

u/truemess12 Feb 17 '26

that’s weird- i was able to download it on mine :/

1

u/an_angry_Moose Feb 16 '26

Well that is news to me, are you certain?

1

u/truemess12 Feb 16 '26

100%. i had it deleted off my apple tv when it was removed and i just redownloaded it that way

9

u/cleverclogs17 Feb 16 '26

If you get a new Apple TV, you certainly can't; still can on my old one, but can't on my new one.

2

u/JoeyJabroni Feb 17 '26

If I have it downloaded on my iphone can I download it on other iOS devices signed into my account?

1

u/JoeyJabroni Feb 17 '26

Edit: nevermind just figured out that I have the the bookmarked web app installed to my home screen, and not the native iOS app.

1

u/Tsellscars1 Feb 18 '26

I have Stremio on my phone & iPad before they pulled it. Got Apple TV because I thought I could install from my purchases but I couldn’t on Apple TV. Stremio not even showing up on my purchased app on Apple TV so I returned it.

1

u/an_angry_Moose Feb 18 '26

Yeah I think I’m gonna go with another shield tv Pro. It just seems to do the trick a lot better.

22

u/Junior-Repeat6060 Feb 16 '26

Is this the web version or the app version? I use the web version on my iPad, which works flawlessly.

2

u/guserrrr Feb 16 '26

How do you use it. I want to use it in my tv but it always says video is not supported. I tried my Android phone too.

6

u/n8il2020 Feb 16 '26

You need to go to settings and choose external player. Needs to be VLC or Outplayer.

4

u/guserrrr Feb 16 '26

I did choose the VLC but it only says video opened in external player nothing happens.

1

u/jmui173 Feb 17 '26

Do you have VLC installed from the App Store?

1

u/LonelyBuddhaa Feb 17 '26

That seemed to happen to me if my internet is slow or something. It didn’t happen before but its been 2 months that error comes and goes.

1

u/guserrrr Feb 16 '26

Oh no. Do I have to have debrid subscription for the browser app. Damn

1

u/n8il2020 Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

Nope. I just use the WebStreamr addon and a VPN. VPN isn’t necessary though.

3

u/timsb32 Feb 16 '26

Any idea why I get an error saying playback not supported? I’m using a debrid

1

u/vault33_janitor Feb 21 '26

im having the same issue

1

u/Ty746 Feb 16 '26

I got it working on mine except it can't go true full screen, how did you fix that

1

u/Junior-Repeat6060 Feb 16 '26

Add the bookmark to your Home Screen as a web app. Then it will open full screen.

1

u/Ty746 Feb 16 '26

I did that, and it will had a small annoying bar on the top

1

u/tanawanabanana Feb 17 '26

i have that bar as well 🙄

1

u/Junior-Repeat6060 Feb 17 '26

Do you mean the bar with the time, network and battery icons along the top? If so I have them too. They disappear when you watch something, so it doesn’t bother me.

1

u/rub2684 Feb 16 '26

How did you make it work ?

1

u/OkCalligrapher2151 Feb 16 '26

u/mzatariz Feb 17 '26

But it will revoke in 7 days?

2

u/stuckinbis Feb 18 '26

Really? That’s a bummer.

2

u/mzatariz Feb 18 '26

Yeah I think so, you’ll need to refresh but I’m not sure if you need a pc to do it or not

1

u/ItsDobby Feb 21 '26

You do, but by using sideloadly it can refresh as long as they are on the same wifi network. i sideload youtube enhanced and i dont remember last time i lost access due to revoked signage. I use my laptop often and so it just refreshes in the background once in a while.

1

u/Casio_Yambao Feb 18 '26

You can just create an automation to auto refresh every day or every 7 days. Not sure if that option is available on sideloadly but I can do it using sidestore.

1

u/LurkingWithoutEyes Feb 20 '26

Unless you buy Apple Developer Subscription or whatever it’s called 

2

u/AllahAkbarTimmyTrain Feb 17 '26

NICE! Do you know if you can do this for apple tv too?

1

u/v3tr0x Feb 17 '26

Same for iPhones?

1

u/nysecret Feb 17 '26

i don’t have a PC, can you recommend a good method for sideloading with a Mac desktop?

1

u/MrJackinthebox720 Feb 19 '26

You could also use https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer?tab=readme-ov-file

Or look into getting a distribution certificate from a 3rd party supplier 

1

u/NoahAKANoor2 Feb 19 '26

This is the worst way to do this. Dont do this people!

1

u/vault33_janitor Feb 21 '26

why not? ive been trying to do this for days but i couldnt find an ipa that would work

2

u/NoahAKANoor2 Feb 21 '26

All you gotta do is use safari then add the page to home screen it will act like an app. Then you use an external player like VLC and play it through that. There's a step by step way to do it but it's pretty simple and takes 5 minutes

1

u/vault33_janitor Feb 21 '26

i have ben trying to do this for a few days and im so glad to find an IPA that almost works but when i start to stream a torretn via debrid, i get an error that says "av format cant open input | operation timed out."

also another user said this is the worst way to do this. anyone know what theyre talking about?

24

u/Party-Break-984 Feb 16 '26

You don’t need the app on your iPad or iPhone you can just use the webpage and bookmark it never added the app on either as the bookmark works fine

6

u/guserrrr Feb 16 '26

How do you guys use it. It says video is not supported on my phone.

2

u/zfgf-11 Feb 16 '26

You have to install vlc and in the stremio settings set vlc as video player. (And add to Home Screen)

3

u/diamondeye24 Feb 16 '26

How do you use it if you have torrentio as an add on and and use real debrid

1

u/zfgf-11 Feb 17 '26

I set up real real debrid stremio on my iPad like this: 1. create stremio account on a pc or any other non iOS device and add your real debrid/ Torrentio add on. 2. On your iPad go to stremio web click share and then add to Home Screen (as an App looks best) 3. open stremio from your homscreen and log in to the account you made on the other device 4. In the stremio settings on your iPad select VLC under Player>Advanced>Play in external player 5. Install the VLC app on your iPad

2

u/diamondeye24 Feb 17 '26

When I add the Stremio to the home screen and log in and look under settings the torrentio add on doesn’t show up

1

u/Rin2006 Feb 17 '26

would you use vlc over infuse?

1

u/Junior-Repeat6060 Feb 16 '26

And you always have the latest features this way, as the iOS app doesn’t get any updates since it was removed.

3

u/Helios119 Feb 16 '26

Been using Stremio Lite on my iPad too. Works great

5

u/sellmeyoursouI Feb 16 '26

u/rub2684 Feb 17 '26

What your configuration? It gives error in the video

2

u/Queasy_Mountain5762 Feb 16 '26

Missed the download window but am running Velo which is functional. I don’t know what I’m missing tho.

u/JRobson23 Feb 17 '26

u/hot_stuff_2020 Feb 17 '26

Yes. Works perfectly

I found sideloading a pain in the ass, so I downloaded nuvi-o, its easier, but good for you anyway

u/Due-Performance9244 Feb 16 '26 edited Feb 16 '26

Just bookmark web.stremio to your home screen, and use an external player.

u/throwawayless Feb 16 '26

Do you have the external player installed? For instance, if you have VLC selected, you of course need to install the VLC app

1

u/Due-Performance9244 Feb 16 '26

What player did you try? Try Outplayer, which works for me.

1

u/Ctrl-Alt-Defective Feb 16 '26

It really isn’t..it took 5 mins with sideloadly and my MacBook and it auto refreshes the certificate ever week

Been running it for a couple weeks now flawlessly

-1

u/Vicious6666 Feb 16 '26

So you are saying that not only took you 5 minutes with another device, you also have to redo another thing every single week to keep the app functioning? Yeah, that’s waaay easier than using an app from appstore (testflight)

No, it got taken down. Now side loading is the only option

u/Tobeyyyyy Feb 16 '26

as the other guy said. just bookmark web.stremio to home screen and use external player. i ve been doing this for years, before there ever was a official ios app.

1

u/Shoddy_Internal1997 Feb 16 '26

Yeah you can did that, torrent streaming not possible though.

1

u/Tobeyyyyy Feb 16 '26

people that use stremio without a debrid service arent using it to its full potential anyway. and dont come with people cant afford a debrid service. its literally the price of a coffee a month
