What is Stremio Web?

Stremio Web is an open-source, React-based media center that runs in the browser. It connects to a local or remote Stremio Core service and provides a rich interface for discovering and watching video content across many content types and sources.
Stremio Web is the browser-based frontend for the Stremio ecosystem. It requires a Stremio Core service (either the desktop app or a self-hosted streaming server) to stream content.

Architecture overview

Stremio Web is built with React 18, Less for styling, and TypeScript for type safety. It communicates with Stremio Core via a WebSocket transport layer, and uses an addon system based on the Stremio Protocol.
