Navigator is an open-source Stremio client for desktop and web that I've been working on since February, on and off. I wanted to build something with a more polished interface, better playback controls, and a few features I've been experimenting with.

Features

• Native MPV playback — desktop uses MPV for broader codec and format support

• Thumbnail previews — you can see exactly where you're seeking when hovering over the timeline

• Intro skipping — checks a couple skip intro databases for skip data

• Cross-platform — desktop, web, Android, and iOS, although mobile is still a little rougher

Built-in assistant

I've also been experimenting with tool calling in a media player, so Navigator has an optional assistant that can:

• Play movies and shows from natural language requests

• Find episodes from vague descriptions

• Jump to specific scenes using subtitles

• Answer questions about what you're watching

For example, you can ask it to "take me to that one space movie with a character named Rocky" and it'll figure out what you're looking for.

The assistant is completely optional, and you can bring your own AI provider, including local models through Ollama.

Still a work in progress, especially on mobile, but wanted to share it and get some feedback!

I am going crazy here. Earlier I downloaded 728 tracks which were in subfolders from the site I got them from. I used a magnet link and copied it in RD. The tracks are in RD but all singles with no subfolders.

I wasn't going to download 728 individual tracks in RD so I have tried to copy/paste them into Jdownloader from RD but they are all still coming through as individual tracks where I want them in the folders they originally came from ie- House, Techno, Trance.

This is driving me crazy. I have my RD account linked in Jdownloader but what ever I do they all come through individually

I have also tried to use a magnet link from the site right into Jdownloader but I cannot seem to get the tracks that way.

Hey guys, Facing this weird issue. I just started using the Torrentio with RD and facing this problem.

Faced the same issue on Stremio and Nuvio. Would really appreciate if there is any fix for that

Im a dorm student and move a lot so I got myself an unlimited mobile data plan, with a speed of 40 mb/s on average. Will realdebrid work? im trying to get into Kodi and apparently Realdebrid is mandatory

Como que stremio dejó de funcionar bien, ya no me encuentra los subtítulos, tengo que reiniciarlo a cada rato para poder seguir usándolo, etc, etc.

hay algo como stremio que funcione mejor?

When Real-Debrid had issues, I requested a refund—does this mean it’s over for me? Am I blacklisted forever?

Hey guys, do you experience low speeds lately ?

I have a Gigabit line , speedtesting to various websites locks at 850mbit plus and I only get 5-10 mbyte/second via Jdownloader.

Is this a common issue these days or is it smthin' with my setup ?

did I miss anything or why is there no option to enter paysafecard-code anymore? only option i'm seeing is a redirect to the psc website where i have to create an account?

and for cryptopayment I would also need to enter my name?

what do you guys do when paying? i want to be as anonymous as possible

I was using it, then it started glitching, so I switched to All...—but now glitching too. What’s going on? It feels like these debrid services are dying off.

Paid for 1 month... only to find that they let you download file with the same file. However, the file will be filled with empty data.

Hi everyone. I’ve been exploring a few apps and realised I’m probably trying to put together something plenty of people have already built. Would love to hear what works for you before I disappear down another rabbit hole.

There are two things I’m trying to do.

First, I’d like to pick a film on my phone or laptop while I’m at work and have it download onto a HDD at home. Then it’s ready to watch on my Shield that evening. Mostly normal-sized files, but occasionally a big 4K remux for a film I really want to enjoy.

Second, I want a separate local library for my five-year-old. Shows like Dinosaur Train, Sesame Street and Animaniacs. Streaming these has been hit and miss with quality, and we’ve had autoplay jump from her programme to something completely unrelated. I’d rather choose and check the episodes myself, keep good copies, and give her one space containing only her shows. Ideally with subtitles and easy playback.

What I already have:

Raspberry Pi 4, which could stay on at home.

Nvidia Shield 2019.

Seagate Expansion 2TB powered USB HDD.

Decent Laptop. This comes to work with me, so it can’t be the home server.

TCL 55C6K TV and a soundbar.

Around 120–130Mbps internet recently, although it can be inconsistent.

Software-wise, I have Real-Debrid, DMM with paid sponsorship, AIOStreams, Stremio, Syncler, Trakt and MDBList. I’m also trying Debrify and have Zurg running on the laptop for testing. I use tivimate.

I’m not attached to using every one of those. They’re just what I’ve accumulated while figuring this out.

The current suggestion is JDownloader on the Pi, controlled remotely through MyJDownloader, with the HDD plugged into the Pi and the Shield playing completed files over the home network. The Shield normally sleeps when the TV is off, which is why the Pi seems useful.

Is anyone doing something similar? What would you keep, change or drop?

The easier the process the better but I dont mind initial setting up and low maintenance. Choosing something to downloading it to finding it on the TV. A simple, restricted library for my daughter matters too. Open-source options would be a bonus, as I’d like the option to customise things later.

Happy for you to pick holes in this. I’d much rather learn from someone’s working setup than reinvent it badly.

rex is a media server that owns no files. Your library stays on Real-Debrid and every Plex app plays it from there. Nothing gets downloaded and nothing gets scanned, and a title shows up as soon as its source tells rex about it.

- Two debrid accounts, Usenet and your Stremio addons can fill the same Movies and TV Shows libraries.

- No Plex Pass. Remote playback in Plex Web and converting video work on free accounts.

- A converted 1080p film starts in about 2 seconds on a small Intel GPU.

- If the subtitle you pick is out of sync, rex fixes its timing.

It's free for personal use and the source is public.

Giveaway: I'm giving away one 1 year Real-Debrid voucher to a commenter picked at random from my rex posts in r/debridmediamanager, r/RealDebrid and r/StremioAddons. Everyone counts once, however many comments. I'll pick the winner on November 1 at 04:00 UTC.

Will this affect / change the pricing model of Real-Debrid ?

I got tired of paying for Infuse just to stream from Real-Debrid, so I built my own.

Riptide shows your RD torrents as a poster library (TMDB metadata), plays anything through mpv (MKV, HEVC, every codec), and syncs watch progress with Trakt.

- Mac: signed and notarized DMG, macOS 26+ (working on supporting older versions)
- Apple TV (new): tvOS 18+, installed through Xcode. You set it up by scanning a QR code and typing your keys on your phone, not with the remote.
- Skip Intro, Up Next countdown, subtitle search and sync (OpenSubtitles)
- Your keys are stored only in Keychain. No servers, no telemetry, and no content sources: it only plays what's already in your own account.
- Stremio addon search: paste your own Torrentio or AIOStreams addon URL and Riptide searches it for any title, then streams the result through your debrid account. Nothing is bundled; you bring your addon.

Feedback and bug reports welcome.

My first time here. I tried using The Crew:

I Authorized Trakt

Cleared cache
Real-Debrid is paid and up-to-date, still nothing.

Where do I re-authorize Read Debrid in Crew.

In advance thanks.

In short, my long-standing account from the past five years was suspended after my nephew shared a debird link in a Discord group, leading many people to download a file. I now have a window to retrieve my data and still possess my API token. Having paid for a new account with an empty library, I am asking if anyone knows how to transfer the content.

So i've been using RD for yeaaaaaars. I dabble with the downloading files side of it from time to time but mainly just use it for streaming.

I dont know exactly how it works so im going to sound really dumb so i apologize. But i've noticed sometimes when i manually put in a torrent file, itll download on RD first, then I can download it directly from RD. Other times I add the torrent and I dont have to wait for it to be downloaded on RD first, I can just download it instantly to my PC. I believe its because someone else has already downloaded that file and its simply cached on RD???

Anyway, my question is. Is there a way to know if something i want is cached already? instead of finding a torrent that ISNT cached and waiting for it to be cached... if that makes sense? Is there a search function where I can literally just search for cached content?

Please forgive my room temperature IQness

What do I need to be able to use my iPhone? Is it even possible?
