AIOMetadata: The Ultimate Stremio Metadata Addon

AIOMetadata is a next-generation, power-user-focused metadata addon for Stremio. It aggregates and enriches movie, series, and anime metadata from multiple sources (TMDB, TVDB, MyAnimeList, AniList, IMDb, TVmaze, Fanart.tv, MDBList, and more), giving you full control over catalog sources, artwork, and search.

🚀 Features

• Multi-Source Metadata: Choose your preferred provider for each type (movie, series, anime) — TMDB, TVDB, MAL, AniList, IMDb, TVmaze, etc.
• Rich Artwork: High-quality posters, backgrounds, and logos from TMDB, TVDB, Fanart.tv, AniList, and more, with language-aware selection and fallback.
• Anime Power: Deep anime support with MAL, AniList, Kitsu, AniDB, and TVDB/IMDb mapping, including studio, genre, decade, and schedule catalogs.
• Custom Catalogs: Add, reorder, and delete catalogs (including MDBList, streaming, and custom lists) in a sortable UI.
• Streaming Catalogs: Integrate streaming provider catalogs (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) with region and monetization filters.
• Dynamic Search: Enable/disable search engines per type (movie, series, anime) and use AI-powered search (Gemini) if desired.
• User Config & Passwords: Secure, per-user configuration with password and optional addon password protection. Trusted UUIDs for seamless re-login.
• Global & Self-Healing Caching: Redis-backed, ETag-aware, and self-healing cache for fast, reliable metadata and catalog responses.
• Advanced ID Mapping: Robust mapping between all major ID systems (MAL, TMDB, TVDB, IMDb, AniList, AniDB, Kitsu, TVmaze).
• Modern UI: Intuitive React/Next.js configuration interface with drag-and-drop, tooltips, and instant feedback.

1. Hosted Instance

Visit your hosted instance's /configure page.
Configure your catalogs, providers, and preferences.
Save your config and install the generated Stremio addon URL.

2. Self-Hosting (Docker Compose)

Create a .env file with your API keys and settings as shown in .env.example

Then run:

docker compose up -d

3. Optional add-ons

Two optional pieces of infrastructure have guides of their own, since neither is needed to run the addon:

• Image Cache — serve artwork from disk instead of re-fetching it upstream.
• Self-Hosted Jikan API — run your own anime metadata source. The public Jikan API shuts down on October 1, 2026, so anyone relying on anime catalogs needs this.

4. Sign-in with an identity provider (Optional)

Let people sign in with an existing account instead of a UUID and password, and reach their saved configurations from the list. See Sign-in with an identity provider.

⚙️ Configuration

• Catalogs: Add, remove, and reorder catalogs (TMDB, TVDB, MAL, AniList, MDBList, streaming, etc.).
• Providers: Set preferred metadata and artwork provider for each type.
• Search: Enable/disable search engines per type; enable AI search with Gemini API key.
• Integrations: Connect MDBList and more for personal lists.
• Security: Set user and (optional) addon password for config protection.

All configuration is managed via the /configure UI and saved per-user (UUID) in the database.
