Catalogs
Lists of titles, such as popular, new or by genre. They become the rows you scroll.
How it works
MEDIA is the player. You bring the addons.
MEDIA does not host, sell or provide any films, series or streams. It is a media center: addons tell it what exists and where to play it from, and MEDIA turns that into one calm screen.
From an addon to the screen, in four steps
-
Install an addon
Paste the addon's manifest URL in MEDIA. The addon says what it offers: catalogs, details, sources, subtitles, or several of these.
-
Browse
Catalog addons fill your Home, Movies and Series rows. Metadata addons add posters, descriptions, cast and episodes.
-
Press Play
MEDIA asks your source addons for this title, sorts what they return by resolution and seeders, and starts the best one.
-
Watch anywhere
Your progress is saved to your profile and synced, so the TV app continues where the laptop stopped.
Compatibility
Works with Stremio addons
MEDIA speaks the Stremio addon protocol: an addon is a web address that serves a manifest.json and answers requests for catalogs, metadata, streams and subtitles. Addons written for Stremio can be installed in MEDIA by the same URL, without changes.
MEDIA reads what each addon declares and only asks it for what it supports. An addon that offers only subtitles is never asked for streams.
The kinds of addons
Metadata
Details for a title: poster, backdrop, description, cast, seasons and episodes.
Streams
Where a title can be played from: direct links or peer-to-peer sources, with their resolution.
Subtitles
Subtitle tracks in your languages, shown in the player's subtitle menu.
You choose what you install
Addons are made by third parties and are not reviewed or endorsed by MEDIA. Install only addons you trust, and use them only for content you have the right to watch. MEDIA does not provide or recommend sources of copyrighted material.
