- As Stremio's own apps sync: a title is one record with the time it last changed. StremioK asks for every record's time, reads the ones newer there (100 a request) and sends the ones newer here (50 a request): the newest wins, a title at a time.
- When: at launch, every 15 minutes, and 5 seconds after a change here; while playing, where you stopped at most every 3 minutes (as Stremio's player), and on stopping.
- Watched episodes are packed bits in the show's episode order (season, episode, release date), placed by the last one watched. They're read with the show's details (30 shows a sync), and written only when that last watched episode is in the list read here (another addon's ids: left as they are).
- Queued and removed: a queued episode is at 1 ms, as Stremio queues one; Remove clears the place.
- Limits: films and series with an IMDb, TMDB, TVDB, Kitsu, MAL or AniList id; 4,000 records kept, the oldest go, in the TV's database; answers up to 4 MB.
-
Sign-in: Stremio's TV sign-in (
link.stremio.com), its key kept. One Stremio no longer takes stops the sync until you connect again.
