What is Stremio?

Stremio is a versatile media streaming service and IPTV platform that provides a wide array of entertainment choices, granting access to movies, shows, and various online content. It seamlessly works on computers, mobiles, and TV devices, allowing users to enjoy their favorite content anywhere.

While Stremio is readily available on the Google Play Store for Android mobiles and stock Android OS TV Boxes, manual installation (sideloading) is required for FireStick and Android TV Boxes with Android TV OS, like Mi Box, Google TV, and Nvidia Shield. This flexibility enables users to enjoy Stremio on these devices as well.

Compared to other media center applications like Kodi and Plex, Stremio stands out with its simple and intuitive interface, making content navigation a breeze. Though it may not be as feature-rich as Kodi, its seamless streaming capabilities more than compensate, enabling users to watch almost anything they desire.

An outstanding advantage of Stremio is its online add-on installation, saving valuable local storage space, particularly beneficial for limited-storage devices like FireStick and most Android TV Boxes. Furthermore, Stremio’s online installation ensures that any add-on installed on one device becomes available across all devices using the service, creating a unified and convenient viewing experience.

Is Stremio safe & legal?

Stremio’s safety and legality are two aspects to consider. Being available on official app stores like Google Play Store and Apple Store adds to its safety, as it undergoes thorough checks before being listed. Scanning Stremio’s APK with antivirus tools like Virus Total reveals no red flags, further supporting its safety.

Regarding legality, Stremio itself is legal, but caution is needed with third-party add-ons. These add-ons might access content from unverified sources, raising copyright concerns. As a user, it’s crucial to be aware of the responsibility for the legality of accessed content. Some add-ons may distribute copyrighted works without consent, potentially leading to legal issues.

Iview tips： To enhance privacy and security, using a VPN while streaming through Stremio is advisable. VPNs encrypt data, safeguarding online activities.

How to install Stremio on the Android TV Box?

To install Stremio on an Android TV Box, the process may differ based on the device's Android OS. If your Android Box uses the standard Android OS (similar to Android mobiles), you can easily download Stremio from the Google Play Store.

However, if your Android Box operates on a true TV Android OS (e.g., Mi Box or Nvidia Shield), you'll need to sideload the Stremio app since it's not available on the Google Play Store. To do this, we'll use the Downloader app to install Stremio on your Android TV Box. Follow these steps for sideloading Stremio:

Open the Google Play Store and search for “aftvnews” to find the Downloader app.
Click on the Downloader app in the search results and proceed with the installation.
After installing the Downloader app, open it and grant it access to files and media. Then click “OK” on this prompt (only shown during the first run of Downloader).
Type in the URL “https://www.firesticktricks.com/st” in the Downloader app and click “Go.”
The Downloader app will download the Stremio APK file to your Android Box.
If installation from unknown sources for Downloader is not enabled, a prompt will appear. Click “Settings,” switch on the toggle next to Downloader, and go back.
Click “Install” to proceed with installing Stremio.
Once Stremio is installed, you can delete the Stremio APK file from storage, reducing storage space usage.
To access Stremio, go to “Settings,” click on “Apps,” and select the Stremio app.
Click “Open” to run Stremio on your Android TV Box and enjoy endless entertainment options.

Keep in mind that sideloaded apps, such as Stremio, may not appear in your app drawer, so accessing it through the "Apps" section is not possible. Instead, navigate to "Settings," select "Apps," and choose Stremio to begin using it on your Android TV Box.
