STRMR App on Firestick/Android TV (Install & Review Guide)

It shows up on mine. You could try going in to settings, lay out, then Home at the top and see where it is? Maybe it got toggled off, or maybe try reset to default, and adjust from there.

I do not have them enabled in mine, it will work with only Duck Stream. Try playing around with it and see if it makes much of a difference for you.

I love Duck Streams. The only thing I don’t like is the coder/suppliers name is not shown. Torrentio and PM took a big jump over the weekend and now has even listings of 4K, 4K HDR, and 4K HDR 10+. So hopefully we’re over the problems. I don’t like that STRMR has no way of making your own favourite list but relies on Trakt which is a pita.

Yeah mine too

I gave up on the Duck and dumped her.

Awww that’s a shame. Honestly I rarely use it for the two reasons I keep saying. No way to favourite and no way to make your own library.

I never even tried STRMR. Just the Duck.

Kodi #1, Stremio #2 and I don’t need ANYTHING else for VOD!

Continue watching showed sometimes but most of the time it does not. When it did show, it did not continue playing where left off. Started from the beginning. Not liking the app for now for this reason.

hello Miki what do u mean by playable streams?

Umm gosh I really don’t know how to answer that without coming across as being ignorant or dismissive. So please accept my answer as being non judgemental. A playable stream is just that, playable. In other words you click it and it plays vs. a non-playable stream that when you click it, it won’t play, or causes issues you hadn’t anticipated. I hope that helps.

They just set up a website to log in and manage the STRMR app. It is said to work on Fire OS8 also.

IMHO it’s a shame they went the trakt route instead of being able to load your own library and save within the app. TRAKT is a royal pita. So deleting STRMR now. It was a fun ride to start.

I can understand that, I never got in to saving things, but I have the free Trakt account, because I am cheap, and I don’t mind it, but then it is what I know.

I tried it again for a month, the free account. But once again hated it. Why would I ever use such a convoluted app for just one other app. Yes maybe if you had STRMR, Kodi, VOD and Stremio. But I have Stremio with a perfectly good library integrated directly in it without another app needed and I can add and remove series and movies as needed and Stremio marks my watched episodes as well as new episode releases. I much prefer as much simplicity as I can get and that isn’t Trakt.

Has anybody figured out an easy way of inputting an API key into the “Add Custom Scraper”?

I have the account, but app on the streaming device doesn’t generate a code to enter into the account page.

Many Insiders have used Trakt for Years and love it. I’d be lost without it. They have made some terrible changes to the app but if you have a PC or Tablet you can still use the old interface. Trakt is very easy to use IMO

It isn’t though and I’ll try briefly to explain why. I have 24 series I watch, I add them to my own list in Trakt, now I open Stremio, enable Trakt in it and then want to watch one of the series as I know a new episode is available in 6 series I watch. Now that Trakt has taken over I no longer get the indication in stremio that a new episode has released. So I go to Trakt, wade my way through the many links, find my list see another seperate line that tells me 6 episodes are available, now I have to remember all 6 series and the yr/episode number for all 6 series, go back to Stremio, open the library scroll to the exact series/episode, open it and watch it. Now I’m done and want to watch my next series. Damn I forgot which 5 others those are. Ok now back to Trakt to find them, then back again to Stremio. How in blazes is that easier then simply opening my Stremio, go to my library, open my series see my “unwatched” at the beginning, see the exact series marked with a number denoting the number of new episodes, click the one I want to watch and away I go. As I mentioned it may be helpful if using multiple different apps, but I use just one and can’t stand the trakt garbage eye candy, and constant ads, which I never get in Stremio. Nothing simple in this scenario. Sorry but I am afraid, like kodi, we will always disagree so of course anyone can give it a go but I stand by my assertion you don’t need a seperate app to use with one other, when the one you use does everything Trakt does without it.

Sorry @Miki that you are having trouble with Trakt in Stremio. I tried Stremio a few years back but threw it in the garbage can since I hated the GUI so I can’t speak to how Trakt works in Stremio. I do know it works great with KODI and other standalone APK’s.

And as to your reference to Ads I have been using Trakt for at least 7 years and have never seen an Ad. Have a great day Miki!

Stremio is simple, straight forward, Trakt has tons of popups/suggestions for series/movies etc. Those are ads to me. But I really don’t want to go back and forth on this. IMHO Trakt is a waste of time and I prefer not to waste my time, it isn’t easy to use as I pointed out in my above comments. Glad you find it useful and do so because it fulfills your needs. We’re very different and that’s good as we find what works for us. Have a buffer free day.

if you are using and android box, the best thing I have found is to use atvTools app on my phone. I use my computer most of the time for things. Here is how I do it and I am sure there are easier ways.
I have telegram set up on my computer and my phone, in it I have set up groups just for me.
I copy and paste what I want in my group and it shows up on my phone.
Now I have atvTools connected to my box, and now I copy the link I pasted in telegram and the go to atvTools and paste it where it needs to be.
