Addons

Adding, importing, ordering and managing addons is in the user guide's Getting started. Each addon shows its logo, or its initial when it has none or the logo can't be loaded.

Setting	Choices	What it does
+ Add addon	a manifest link	Adds an addon (https://…/manifest.json, or a stremio:// install link). Only v3 addons work.
Import addons from your Stremio account		Lists your Stremio account's addons to tick and import.
AIOManager		Its own page: see AIOManager.
Each addon	Refresh, Turn off / Turn on, Remove, Share, Configure, ⇈ ▲ ▼ ⇊	Reloads it, switches it off (kept, not asked for anything) or on, removes it, shows a QR code of its link (with your tokens: for your own devices) or setup page, or moves it. Higher addons describe titles first.
Wait for addons	Normal (12 s; sources 15, search 25), 20, 30, 45, 60 seconds	How long StremioK waits for an addon. Longer helps one that sleeps when unused (it fails the first time, then answers).
Local-network links from internet addons	Blocked, Allowed	Blocked, internet addons can't point links into your home network; your own network's addons and your playlists still can. See Privacy.

AIOManager

Settings › Content › Addons › AIOManager (the sideloaded app or TizenBrew).

Setting	Choices	What it does
Address	ElfHosted, Midnight's, Yeb's, Kuu's, Another address…	Your AIOManager instance.

↻ Sync with AIOManager		Lists what it would refresh, add or remove, none ticked; Apply N does the ticked ones.
Forget AIOManager		Clears the address, the key and the record of what came from it. Your addons stay.

Streaming server

A Stremio streaming server or a TorrServer on your network (a computer or a NAS) plays the sources that are only torrents; Stremio's can also convert a video the TV can't play.

Setting	Choices	What it does
Server	Off, Stremio server, TorrServer	The one you run. Stremio's comes with the Stremio app for computers (port 11470) or on its own; TorrServer's usual port is 8090.
Address	its link, e.g. http://192.168.0.10:11470	Test says whether it answers.
Wait for a torrent to start	45 seconds, 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes	How long a torrent source gets to start before the next: finding people sharing it takes a while.
Convert videos the TV can't play	Off, On	Stremio's server only: a source that doesn't start is tried once more, converted, before the next. The 2017 TV can't play what it converts.

Streaming apps

The apps a title's "where to watch" sources open. Most are found by name without being listed; list the one to use where the TV has several for a service. Your apps first (OK removes one), then this TV's apps to add (OK adds one; hidden system apps on request). App IDs differ between TV models, so the list comes from the TV itself. On the TV only.

USB drive

Setting	Choices	What it does
Each drive	Index again	Its index: videos, how many are matched, when.
Match videos to titles	Off (not asked yet), On, Off	Whether file names are looked up with your search addons; asked the first time a folder has videos to match.
Show hidden files	Off, On	Lists files starting with "." and the system folders.
Clear the USB index		Title pages stop offering the drive's files; Local still browses it.
Forget matches		Every video is matched again from its name, yours too.

Import configuration file

A link to a text file (up to 256 KB) with one addon link, playlist link or API key per line; # lines are ignored. From your phone: its link, or the file (chosen or pasted). What it has is listed to tick and import. See Getting started.

Export configuration

Your addons (in order), playlists and Stalker portals (names, guide links), API keys and settings (not your Trakt sign-in, history or progress), as a file your phone copies or downloads, to import later. It holds your passwords and keys: keep it private. Imported settings replace yours (StremioK restarts).
