AIOStreams Setup Guide

Overview

AIOStreams is a Stremio addon that requires proper configuration to function. This guide walks through the essential setup steps.

Note: Only AIOStreams is supported for this configuration method.

Step 1: Set Up Your AIOStreams Manifest

Choose one of the following options:

Option A: Use a Public Instance

Use the hosted AIOStreams instance:
https://aiostreams.elfhosted.com/stremio/configure

Option B: Self-Host (Recommended)

Self-hosting gives you full control and access to logs for troubleshooting.

📚 Deployment Guide: https://docs.aiostreams.viren070.me/getting-started/deployment/

Step 2: Configure Your AIOStreams Settings

Navigate to the AIOStreams settings and configure the three essential components below:

A. Add a Debrid Provider (Mandatory)

This provides access to cached torrents and streams.

  1. Click the settings cog icon ⚙️
  2. Enter your Debrid token (Real-Debrid, Alldebrid, Torbox, etc.)
  3. Save your configuration

Alternative: If not using Debrid, you can configure Usenet instead, though Debrid is preferred.

B. Enable a Search Addon (Required)

Add a search-capable addon to discover content.

Recommended options:

  • TMDB (via TMDB addon)
  • AIOMetadata

⚠️ Important: Do NOT use the TMDB Collections addon—use the standard TMDB addon instead.

Configuration steps:

  1. Add your chosen search addon
  2. Enable the search catalogs in the addon settings
  3. Scroll down and confirm the search function is enabled

C. Add a Stream Provider Addon

Add an addon that provides the actual streaming links.

Recommended options:

  • Comet
  • Mediafusion
  • Torrentio
  • Other stream-providing addons

Configuration steps:

  1. Add your chosen provider addon
  2. Configure any required settings or API keys
  3. Ensure the addon is enabled

Configuration Tips

Less is More

  • Don't overload with multiple addons and catalogs
  • Start with one search addon and one stream provider
  • Add more only if needed for better results

Quick Start: Use a Pre-Built Config

Import the starter configuration to skip manual setup:

https://github.com/lostb1t/Gelato/blob/6c5c749ebae7787fe886f2580b959dea17190ac2/aiostreams-config.json

After importing:

  1. Navigate to AIOStreams settings
  2. Go to the Services section
  3. Enable your Debrid provider with your token
  4. Verify all addons are active

Summary Checklist

  • AIOStreams manifest configured (public or self-hosted)
  • Debrid provider added and token entered
  • Search addon enabled (TMDB or AIOMetadata)
  • Search catalogs enabled in addon settings
  • Stream provider addon added and enabled
  • (Optional) Pre-built config imported and Debrid provider re-enabled
