Stremio Web is the browser-based frontend of the Stremio ecosystem. Built with React 18, it connects to a Stremio Core service to give you a full media center experience — without installing a native app.
Stremio Web requires a running Stremio Core instance (the desktop app or a self-hosted streaming server) to load and play content.

​
How Stremio works

The Stremio ecosystem is made up of three layers that work together: 
Browser (Stremio Web)
    │
    ▼ WebSocket / HTTP
Stremio Core (local or remote)
    │
    ▼ Stremio Protocol
Addons (community-built)
    │
    ▼
Content sources (IMDB, YouTube, torrents, etc.)
