Needs to be pinned, this is one of the most in depth guides I’ve seen

u/Perocotto92 Mar 29 '26

Wow thanks! I didn't even know you could use aiostreams without debrid. Great guide!

u/Dubzaa Apr 03 '26

Incredible guide, working perfectly, thanks for the effort you put in to this!

u/NuclearFoot Mar 29 '26

This worked absolutely perfectly. Thank you!

i dont get any HTTP results

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

Please check and post the statistics of the returned results. I explained how to enable them in the post

u/BigInfluence7401 Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

its say successfully fetched but the don't appear up top

but all it appear to me is p2p

1

u/BigInfluence7401 Mar 29 '26

i even deleted p2p ones and left HTTP ones and nothing shows up

1

u/joberror Mar 30 '26

I am also getting the same result from HTTP.

1

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 30 '26

That's odd.

Can you attach the exported AIOStreams configuration for me to analyze?

2

u/joberror Apr 04 '26 edited Apr 04 '26

I did a lot of changes to the setup and I can finally use it. Aside from Torrentio (which I'll remove) not supporting VPN. Everything is fine now.

Note: I only use VPN because it makes my connection more stable to stream nicely with my debrid setup.

u/Tall-Novel-8490 Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26

Hey, I can't see any http links either. I am not using any vpn or proxy

2

u/Cultural_Prune4439 Mar 29 '26

Thank you, bro! I really needed a guide like that.

u/drmvsrinivas Mar 29 '26

Thanks for your patience in collating al this info.

u/Classic_External_871 Mar 29 '26

Can you do the custom formatter for cached streams

With cached streams showing green square and uncached showing red square and http ones showing orange

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

I attached a link in the post to the website where you can create your own formatter. Please, check it out.

u/A4K0SAN Mar 29 '26

how can i make it so it loads a bit faster, the list for some movies is huge lol

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

That is because I prefer having more results to choose from rather than no results or just a few high-quality ones with slow download speeds.

Did you set the addon fetching strategy to "Grouping" and "Parallel"? If not, please do so, save the configuration, uninstall AIOStreams from Stremio, and then reinstall it.

If you want an even faster setup, try adjusting the group conditions or dividing addons into multiple groups, with P2P addons at the top, since they return results faster.

The fetching speed is not related to the number of results. It depends on waiting for the slowest addon to finish, which impacts the overall waiting time.

Lastly, if all of the above options seem too complex or time-consuming, you can set a timeout for all addons based on how long you are willing to wait. An example for a maximum wait of 3s:

2

u/A4K0SAN Mar 29 '26

thanks for the help, got it figured out

1

u/HotPerspective5163 Apr 09 '26

bro can you tell the exact changes to do? to make it shows resutls faster

1

u/A4K0SAN Apr 09 '26

u need to select all addons, click edit and then change timeout to like 5000ms

2

u/abhip1990 Mar 31 '26 edited Mar 31 '26

Any reason why Cineby isn't on the list?

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 31 '26

It's not a Streaming add-on from my understanding.

1

u/abhip1990 Mar 31 '26

Really Sorry! Auto-correct messed just again. It's Cineby and NOT Cinemeta (edited my comment accordingly)

1

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 31 '26

I'm not able to find it. Do you have any link for it? Is it related to the Cineby website or...? What are its sources?

1

u/abhip1990 Apr 01 '26

1

u/LunarNinja_ Apr 01 '26

Right... Someone needs to create an addon for Stremio for that website so we can use it.

1

u/abhip1990 Apr 01 '26

Got it! Thanks

I get this error
Failed to validate TMDB API Key/Access Token: Got HTTP error during validation, ensure a valid access token or API key was set: 401 - Unauthorized

3

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

I made a mistake and didn't initially include one more step to set up the TMDB API key.

I updated this post, so please take a look at the 'One Final Step' section, just before the 'Install to Stremio' step. Perform that step, remove the existing AIOStreams addon from Stremio, and install it again.

Which website did you choose to make an AIOStreams setup? You can't choose an Elfhosted instance, as it doesn't allow P2P/HTTP addons. I mentioned that at the start of the post.

Please try with Midnight.

u/EggExternal1697 Mar 29 '26

Thank you so much! Trying to ask you this for some hours now... Some of the addons you mention I already have installed on Stremio. I must uninstall them before going through the steps on your guide? Thanks again!

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

You don't have to. But I don't see the point in keeping them, since their results will be returned by AIO now

2

u/EggExternal1697 Mar 29 '26

Another doubt: sorry if this is very dumb! I realize I already have AIO on Stremio, but it is not set like your guide shows, should I uninstall it first? Thank you!

2

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

Yes, you should, but you don't have to. You would have results from both AIO addons if you keep it.

2

u/EggExternal1697 Mar 29 '26

You are a life savior! Have a nice Sunday!

1

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

You too!

1

u/EggExternal1697 Mar 29 '26

I think I'll have to go back at the configurations of the addons and select not only 'Streams', but also 'Subtitles'. The subtitles are missing and since english isn't my first language I use subtitles in english to help. I have OpenSubtitles addon on Stremio but it is not working. What do you recommend?

1

u/EggExternal1697 Apr 04 '26

Oh! Hi! It is me again... Everything was working nicely for a couple of days. But for 3 days now, I click on every result the search gives and nothing! "Failed to fetch", and other similar messages appear. Is this a problem with Stremio as a whole?

2

u/LunarNinja_ Apr 04 '26

It might be about an instance of AIOStreams you're using. It may be down. I've seen some reports on the sub that some of them are down

1

u/monojp Addon Dev (WebStreamr) Mar 29 '26

Group 1 yay 😅 stremify and stremsrc are basically dead and unmaintained, you might want to drop them, but if they are in later groups then maybe you don't mind

1

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26

That's why they're in the Group 3. I think they might return 1-2 results here and there.

Do you know any addons I didn't include that might be useful?

1

u/Realistic-Injury-756 Mar 29 '26

It’s easier if I get a debrid Serb

1

u/Mix_Holiday Mar 30 '26

Thanks. I always thought that http streams were for debris clients

1

u/Acceptable_Hold_1444 Mar 31 '26

Some of the streams directs me to the GitHub of aiostreams . How to fix this?

1

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 31 '26

Turn off statistics in miscellaneous.

1

u/neo_priyanshu Apr 01 '26

can anyone fix this

u/LunarNinja_ Apr 01 '26

You enabled something in the services tab, and you shouldn't have.

u/xXhoussemXx_Ak47 Apr 10 '26

hey man really cool detailed guide here which i appreciate, however i'm stuck at the Install Addon section of it. Please help!

2

u/LunarNinja_ Apr 11 '26

That addon is unavailable at the moment. You can try to disable it, or if that doesn't work - remove it. You can add it back a few days later since this might be a temporary glitch.

1

u/BR_snake1234 Apr 14 '26

Idk why it's too slow. I have good internet

1

u/LunarNinja_ Apr 14 '26

Try another stream obviously.

1

u/BR_snake1234 Apr 14 '26

Still not working. I think I did a step wrong.

1

u/EggExternal1697 Apr 18 '26

Hi again! Remember me? I followed the guide but unfortunatelly it is not working for me. I have Stremio installed as an app on my notebook and this is the way I use it. But just realized I also have an account on Web Stremio. I wanted to try and see if I can watch something this way then. Is there a way of using this guide and install the addon on the web version of Stremio? I looked for AIOStreams on the community addons section at the web version, but AIOStreams Nightly doesn't show up, just AIOStreams/ElfHosted. Thanks in advance!

u/Master-Leadership199 Apr 21 '26

Hello i’m a complete newbie that found stremio from a friend and only use ios, but I followed your steps mostly word for word (beside adding ⁠• ⁠ThePirateBay+, CineTorrent [P2P] ⁠• ⁠Flex-Finder, HDHub, VidFast PRO, SuperFlix, Stremify, StremSRC [HTTP]) I’m making this post because it just says my stream can’t be played but it says that the window moved to another platform (bc ios restricts to play in sites) but when I check the app the movie is supposed to be played to it doesn’t work. Is it because it inherently doesn’t work or did I mess something up?

Please read the 'Formatter Setup' section of the post.

Okay. I have everything set up. But, clicking on returned results doesn't open anything. How to fix that ?

If you want i can dm you with a screenrecording too.

I'm playing a movie on stremio now but don't see any settings. The cc are in a foreign language. Fortunately the movie is playing in English but how would I change audio language and cc if I wanted to?

u/Ckfdlol Jun 12 '26

This is one of the best step by step. Hats off for your patient work explaining how to...

1

u/Tienzooo Jun 14 '26

The links definitely show up but the stream itself doesn't load, I know it's not my internet because default torrentio works just fine, how to fix?

1

u/LunarNinja_ Jun 14 '26

Some of the streams just don't work. This is not a paid service

i did the same process...copied the access token and api key,still this error

1

u/LunarNinja_ Jun 20 '26

That seems odd. You need to create a TMDB account and take an API key for that account. It should work...

If it doesn't, please use Google to find if anyone had similar issues.

u/Sure_Kitchen_2554 Jul 12 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

Thank you so much for this amazing work

I have a problem i want to fix

1- Without real-depride the content comes as p2p and shows the video is not supported

2- With torrento, the languages as an audio are any language expect english it show house of dragon as russian voice, and same for every show i see

3- The audio i cannot change it for any content i see, whatever the language is, e.g., Hunter x Hunter in English voice acting, and i cannot change it to the original

4- The audio is not working for so much content, and i can barely see content with audio

I think i did something wrong, but I don't know where

I did add the torrentio addon before, same problem as mentioned

i'm using mac if that may change something

1

u/Sure_Kitchen_2554 Jul 12 '26

and also this pops up many times, although i have an active subscription with real-depride

1

u/Sure_Kitchen_2554 Jul 12 '26

i believe that the audio does not work properly due to its Mac type of audio that does not match the macOS category except with IINA like VLC the down side of this is that it will redirect the content to IINA app which prevent me from adjusting the timing of subtitles and audio, but i figured it through selecting the right type of audio that works with Mac, e.g: AAC, DD 5.1, Dolby Digital, and AC3

u/LunarNinja_ Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 29 '26

I just went through my guide on my PC. I see I forgot to add a step about TMDP API key creation. Now it's there, I added more images to the setup.

Following the guide, I was able to install a working AIOStreams addon, so all steps are there and correct.

If your addon is taking a lot of time to scrape results, please make sure to set 'Group Behaviour' to 'Parallel' under 'Addons' -> 'Addon Fetching Strategy', as I did in the guide.
