What else is the “remote HTTPS connection”? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

    If I remember correctly they added this feature right around the time they announced Stremio Web (basically their web interface/web-app).

    The web-app was mainly intended for devices that cannot download the fully fledged app (coughIOS…cough). I think this “remote HTTPS connection” is related to that: You basically have the fully fledged Stremio app on one device, the limited web-app on another device, and use this remote server setting to give the web-app all the missing features as long as you have the fully fledged Stremio app running on one device. Never got it to work though.

    Maybe this helps:

    If you want to “share” you stream to friends without them having stremio, you could also look into the Peario add-on.

      At this point just use streamio-web. Make the server go through a vpn and all your apps will be protected. Then just make the server public. (Although a warning about making services like this open to the whole web is probably needed)

        im not sure what the difference is between stremio-web and this https connection method. I installed Caddy as a reverse proxy, but when I connect to my IP in the browser, I get redirected to this URL:

        https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/?streamingServer=http%3A%2F%2F(-my-external-IP-)%3A11472#/detail/movie/tt15314262/tt15314262

        Why am I using their DNS or site? I’m so confused. I thought my Stremio + Caddy would connect me INDEPENDENTLY over the interwebs

          The difference might be that Stremio-web works :P

          Jokes aside, I sadly can’t help you on the technical side, all I know is that Stremio web works, no setup required. I went to Stremio-web, logged-in, chose my favourite public domain 1963 movie “Terror”, pressed play and copied the link from the address bar to my clipboard. I then shared that link to three different friends that did not have Stremio and they were all able to watch it, independently. I’d share the link here, but it contains my RD API token, so I’d rather not…

          Peario works in a similar fashion, the only difference being that it would coordinate the three streams to keep them continuously synced up.

            so does the Stremio-web also work with third party addons? When I used the https, no third-party addons were installed, like Torrentio. Which is obviously the whole reason I’m using it in the first place. Does it work on your end? Then perhaps it’s just my setup
