Testing your Add-on

To test your add-on, you will need to add the add-on manifest URL to a client.

There are currently two such clients that you can test with:

Note: if you want to load an add-on by URL in Stremio, the URL must either be accessed on 127.0.0.1 or support HTTPS.

If you're using the serveHTTP method, there are two shortcuts that you can use:

If you launch your add-on with npm start -- --launch, it will open a web version of Stremio with the add-on pre-installed.

Another shortcut is to use npm start -- --install, which will open the desktop version of Stremio and a prompt to install the add-on.

Testing in Stremio is easy, simply download Stremio v4.4.10+ (latest beta from the site)

Open the web version of Stremio at: https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/

If you use npm start -- --launch, the add-on will launch at https://staging.strem.io, which is a staging (development) version of Stremio.

Note: Torrents will not work in Stremio's Web Version.
