    From the README

    The πŸ§™ Stremio Addon SDK πŸ§™ was developed by the Stremio Team as a way of vastly simplifying Node.js addon creation for our streaming platform.

    Stremio currently supports Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

    Important: We strongly recommend deploying addons to the BeamUp servers

    This arbitrary example creates an addon that provides a stream for Big Buck Bunny and outputs a HTTP address where you can access it.

    It will output a URL that you can use to install the addon in Stremio

    Please note: addon URLs in Stremio must be loaded with HTTPS (except 127.0.0.1) and must support CORS! CORS support is handled automatically by the SDK, but if you're trying to load your addon remotely (not from 127.0.0.1), you need to support HTTPS.

    In order to scaffold a new Stremio addon, we've made a tool called addon-bootstrap.

    You'll be asked about what resources and types you want to support, after which the addon will be created in the hello-world directory, and you'll be able to run it:

    If you wish to install the addon in the Desktop version of Stremio (which you can download here), you should use npm start -- --install
