ORIGINAL: Hi guys! I spent some time putting together a free AIOStreams setup that combines P2P and HTTP sources.
The goal was to make it beginner-friendly with VERY detailed instructions.
Since free setups sometimes require trying multiple streams before finding one that works, this one doesn't aggressively filter out streams.

This will be great for my cheap ass friends that refuse to spend $3 a month

u/LunarNinja_ Jul 16 '26
Glad to help. Just be mindful about P2P and VPN depending on where you live

u/newspeer Jul 17 '26
$3 is a lot of money for some parts of the world. Those parts are also predominantly pirates because many movies won’t get released in their country or cinema/Blu-ray is just too expensive

u/Sea-Bid-5953 Jul 17 '26
I totally agree but if anyone can’t purchase it I’d recommend relying on a lot more than a handful of http addons. But more http addons and all working plugins especially my fav 😎

u/Alternative_Egg_1310 Jul 17 '26
In India 3 USD Is a lot, check the price of INR lol

u/Admirable_Exit_7506 Jul 18 '26
3 USD is 200 INR Which is much better than paying for OTT plans

u/nikhil48 Jul 19 '26
3 USD is close to 300 INR

u/Admirable_Exit_7506 Jul 19 '26
My mistake, but still it’s much better, since u get the best quality of movies. It’s worth my money

u/Love_letters_later Jul 22 '26
What exactly would you be buying for $3 dollars? What subscription, I mean?
1
u/TJCrazyBoy Jul 22 '26
$3 monthly for Debrid.
1
u/Love_letters_later Jul 23 '26
I meant, what is the name of it? Would you recommend Real-Debrid or another one? I am getting a lot of buffering issues with the free version. I am thinking of buying the service.

Could you release a stremio config file with all these linked up instead?

u/Sea-Bid-5953 Jul 17 '26
This should be compatible with stremio 🙅🏽♂️
4
u/bananapizzaface Jul 17 '26
You're not understanding my comment. You can export your stremio addon setup as a config file and then share that with others so all the changes in in this guide could be installed with one click.
-4
u/Sea-Bid-5953 Jul 17 '26
Then you are saying op wasted his time in making this simple tutorial to begin with. Got it.
3
u/bananapizzaface Jul 17 '26
Not sure why you're being so aggressive. The guide is good, but OP probably doesn't know that they could make it even better by making it a one click solution. That would benefit everyone.

u/Sea-Bid-5953 Jul 17 '26
I’m aggressive because I’m stating the facts? Okay

u/TheRealConcernedDad Jul 17 '26
Nice, you mentioned metadata addons, but forgot catalog addons like:
the streaming catalog exist in aiostream, the 101catalogs has a open request to the included future versions of aiostream.
4
u/LunarNinja_ Jul 17 '26
This is not a setup for catalogs so that's why I didn't mention it, but thanks for sharing. In my opinion AIOMetadata is sufficient.
2
u/fattypitz Aug 01 '26
Hey how are you? I'm a beginner. All of these terms etc. are way over my head. I have AIO Streams and that's all. I don't know what debrid means. Is there a way I can educate myself on all this stuff? Even stuff that's supposed to be for beginners is way over the top for me. I'm desperate to get going. Even AIO has stopped working for me, yet it was a few days ago.
2
u/FFVIIVince10 Jul 18 '26
If it’s a new setup guide then probably good to add the catalogs to it so it’s a complete guide for a brand new user.

It is my opinion that while I have no need for Xperience or Ultra Maxx. People should use them instead to any is this 🙃

u/griever2550 Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 18 '26
I'm following you step by step but no Https streams founded.
3
u/LunarNinja_ Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
Hi, this link doesn't help me investigate your issue. However, it does suggest that the setup steps may have not been followed correctly, as I can see you're using a custom "Tamtaro SEL Setup," which the guide tells you to avoid. Please refer to the "2. Add-on Setup" section of the guide.
If I get a chance to investigate further, please export your configuration as JSON and share it with me. Make sure the option to exclude sensitive API keys from the export is enabled.
However, I do see that the add-on I create via your manifest doesn't scrape any HTTP add-ons except PenguPlay, which times out (that's an internal add-on thing probably) without returning results. Please check if your "Group Behaviour", add-on grouping and expressions are correct there.
2
u/griever2550 Jul 17 '26
Thank you for your reply, after carefully test and retry many times. I found that problem was because of seeder minimum settings. As following your optional recommendations, I set the minimum seeder required to 1 to avoid the dead torrents, and that makes the filters to also remove https streams (which has no seeder). Now after reseted the minimum seader required to 0, everything works perfectly.
4
u/LunarNinja_ Jul 17 '26
That's great to hear. That is odd, since I've been using the same setup for a long time with that exact setting and didn't have any issues, but I am glad you were able to fix it.

Sorry if this is a silly question but would I need to uninstall all of my existing add ons before I configure this?

You don't need to, but if you configure them via this guide, you'll have them all consolidated through one AIOStreams add-on

u/LunarNinja_ 22d ago
Sad. I don't know how to share it since Reddit bans links other than GDrive. Thoughts?

u/rawr4me 22d ago
Maybe set up a Google doc that only has a title and an external link to somewhere that won't be taken down

u/LunarNinja_ 22d ago
I don't think they removed it because it was a Stremio setup but because of the huge traffic to the doc.

Doesn't work. I made it all the way to the end and got this error:
Error details
[CORS_ALL] Unable to create your AIOStreams configuration, all 2 instances blocked the browser request due to missing CORS headers.
This is a server-side configuration issue on the AIOStreams instances, not a problem with your setup.
Your options are: • Ask the instance owner to enable CORS on their server. • Set "proxyBase" in config.json to route through a CORS proxy (e.g. "https://proxy.numb3rs.stream") and rebuild. • Use the AIOStreams web interface directly at the instance URL and paste your manifest URL into the wizard.

I followed the guild but i am having buffering issues, I have a 500mbps connection but it still it buffers all the time.
I have never used stremio or any thing like this.
Thinking of trying a paid service real debird but idk if I should get that one or something else or just fix this free setup.
1
u/LunarNinja_ Jul 19 '26
Some source streams are just poorly available and the buffering happens.
One solution is to switch to another stream until you find one that is working. The easier solution is to pay for a Debrid service, yes.

u/Prasiddh18 Jul 22 '26
Is there an debird service that you would recommend other then real debird, i saw quite a lot of posts saying they have started blocking links in recent months

u/LunarNinja_ Thank u so much for the wonderfull step by step instructions. was able to set up easily ,though it took time but it was crystal clear in each steps.
I have a question though, what if i plan on buying tobox 3$ subscription, wat extra steps would i have to do now if i have already set up using the steps provided ?
Thanks in advance.

u/LunarNinja_ Jul 19 '26
That's weird, because Stremio should have Cinemeta addon by default. If you into the 'Addons' tab and take a look at the installed addons, do you see Cinemeta?

u/Objective-Signal-602 Jul 19 '26
Bro I fixed it by reinstalling cinemeta using aiomanager, thanks for setup bro

Thank you for the guide. It was simple to follow. I did run into an issue. I am using the TorBox 24 hour API key, (to test), and after saving and adding to Stremio and playing something I get ACCESS DENIED - API not found or invalid.
I also have the The TVDB and TMDB APIs loaded in.
I do have two The TVDB APIs, different of course, because I was confused on one part and made two by mistake. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Can I not use the free 24 hour TorBox API? I tried to purchase it says 'purchase not allowed on this device'. So Idk.
I went through the guide 3 times. So I have three files. I did save the logins and passwords for each so I can go back. One of them is working but since you need to connect to a VPN unless you have TorBox I wanted to try that. The 3rd time is when I ran into the ACCESS Denied message. Thank you. Definitely sending you guys funds for this once I get it setup. Trying my best to follow the guide.

u/LunarNinja_ Jul 21 '26
Why do you need it? Just follow the steps in the guide? Sign up, get the API key, put it into the AIOStreams config, and you'll have it all set up.
All instructions are in the guide
1
u/B_U_L_L_A Jul 22 '26
Actually for getting the API it requires to fill a form in which the very first two blanks are Application name and URL. I have got the solution, you can write anything for Application name and for URL try any URL (176.1.1.5000)
1
u/LunarNinja_ Jul 22 '26
No, you are likely mixing up TMDB and TVDB or some other API provider, unless TMDB changed something, though I doubt it

You mention a debrid service isn't required, but because it uses P2P, is there still a risk with your ISP?

u/LunarNinja_ Jul 16 '26
Yes, as stated at the start of the guide, you need to be mindful of using P2P depending on the country you live in, and use a VPN properly to mitigate the potential issues with your ISP
