How to Install & Setup Stremio on Firestick/Android (2025)

The Bootstrapper is INCREDIBLE! It transforms how Stremio works and it takes about 5 minutes or less to set up. Thank you!

You are very welcome. Since Troy introduced the insiders to this new aid to the Stremio setup it has recieved glowing praise. I may have to bite the bullet, delete all my present add-ons, and give it a go. Glad you like it.

Per the video, you don’t need to delete current add-ons. Bootstrapper installs right over the top of them. It’s super cool and adds multiple categories of shows and movies. You’ll laugh but it’s so visually appealing compared to KODI that you want to use it :+1:t2:.

Hey thanks for that. No excuses I’ve just been lazy. I know you love your streaming and if you say it’s that easy then it’s worth a try. Thanks.

You try some of the skins available on Kodi they are great for customising how kodi looks.

My KODI works really really well and i don’t dare monkey with it. It doesn’t matter that I use the main skin, I only care about the functionality of it.

I did figure out how to make all the KODI settings hold on the ONN android box. I simply ā€œforce stopā€ it every single time before I unplug it. The settings that I changed from the video here have held for two weeks.

Thanks for the tip though, maybe one day I’ll mess with it.

New Stremio question…keep in mind I’m a newbie to Stremio. In looking at links generated (I’m using PM), it looks like the links toward the end of the line say ā€œdownloadā€. I assume I never want to actually download anything but only want to stream? Correct?

Is there a settings change so the ā€œdownloadā€ links don’t even populate?

Thanks. I’m still warming up too Stremio and Bootstrapper helped a bunch. Per Papa, I added Orion too. Thanks you all.

I see those also but as they’re at the end of the populated list I just ignore them. I configured the premium services to only show me 1080 and up and they are always at the beginning of the list so although the downloads are there I never actually see them. I will have to look at my media fusion and comet configuration panel again to see if I can turn those off.

You might get the indexer (Stremio Lite?) but it won’t play anything on Apple devices.

You know nothing John Snow , working absolutely perfect on my iPad . Stremio torrentio and real-debrid just the same as my shield

Stremio lite is not an indexer, it’s an app and works on my iOS device just the same as the android version of Stremio.

Stremio is releasing a beta update for anyone who wants to test their newest Android TV update…

Interesting. I downloaded ā€œStremioā€ from the Apple App Store on my iPhone a couple of months back and got ā€œStremio Organizerā€. Showed everything except the ability to play the programs. I tried it again today, based on what you said, and it downloaded ā€œStremio Liteā€ which appears to be the fully functional version.

I doubt Apple will allow it to stay on there very long!

Thanks for this. I will await @Miki to give a thumbs up before I attempt anything crazy. I’m liking Stremio more and more.

Personally, and only due to an overabundance of caution, I never install Beta apps when they are first released. I prefer to wait and watch and observe any potential issues, and then if they’re just minor issues I might give it a try. As my Stremio is performing perfectly, I just as soon not take chances. Yes, in the past, I’ve been a Beta tester, and never had any issues. But I was much younger then, and using a desktop system, where I could create partitions for specific Beta testing. Now as I’m older I prefer not to be a tester and wait for stable releases.
