Roadmap
Where StremioX is headed, roughly in the order we'll build it. No fixed dates; it ships when it's good. This mirrors ROADMAP.md in the repo. The aim is an all-in-one media hub, done one solid piece at a time.
- Smart track selection. Pick the right audio and subtitle track automatically from your preferred languages, respect forced subtitles, remember your per-show choices, and set reject lists for tracks you never want.
- Gestures and zoom. Aspect, zoom, fill, pinch to zoom, and gestures for seek, volume, brightness, and hold-to-speed.
- HDR and lossless audio. HDR and Dolby Vision in 10-bit, plus audio passthrough so TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, and Atmos reach your receiver untouched.
- Skip and continue. Skip intro and outro, then roll into the next episode.
- Downloads and Usenet. Save a title to watch offline, and pull from Usenet alongside torrents and debrid.
- Themes. Built-in themes and a theme studio for your own colours, an OLED mode, a layout you can rearrange, themes you can share, artwork-driven backgrounds, and a player with motion that has character.
- No more buffering. Heavy caching so playback starts fast and stays smooth, instant audio/subtitle track switching, the next episode preloaded, seek-preview thumbnails on the scrubber, and a player that recovers or hops to another source if a stream stalls.
- iPhone and iPad. The same native app on iOS and iPadOS, off the web host. The 1.0 headline.
- Watch now, or choose. Rank the sources and auto-play the best one for the quality you prefer, with Watch Now and Select Streams buttons. A trust filter drops cam-rips, dead links, and fake quality, and debrid is built in.
- Richer detail pages. Multi-source ratings (IMDb, TMDB, Trakt, MAL, AniList), cast and crew with photos, studio and network badges, trailers, poster rating overlays, and award browsing.
- Better search. Real filters and proper advanced search.
- Profiles. Separate libraries, history, and settings per person, with a parental PIN, plus backup and restore of your whole setup.
- Self-hosted source. Run your own back end instead of leaning only on add-ons.
- Live TV, done properly: a channel guide, catch-up and timeshift, recording, and multiview.
- Audio: music, podcasts, and audiobooks in the same app.
- Casting: AirPlay first, then Chromecast, DLNA, and Roku.
- Watch together: synced playback with chat, on a relay you can host yourself.
- Anime, first-class: AniList and Kitsu tracking, season merging, and a release feed.
- Deeper playback: shader upscaling, tone-mapping for SDR screens, and colour and audio profiles.
- Streaming on our terms: a built-in torrent engine so torrents work without debrid, and a place to plug in your own scrapers.
- Trakt and a calendar, plus niceties like Discord presence, a built-in ad and tracker blocker, and setup backup and restore.
Apple TV is native on the engine: Home with real Continue Watching and every catalog, Discover, Library, Detail, the full per-add-on source list, Search, and add-on management, with watched state, resume, and live progress through the engine. The player is full-screen libmpv with a seekable scrubber, hold-to-seek, audio and subtitle sync, aspect modes, language-grouped tracks, all-script subtitle fonts, and add-on load progress. iPhone and iPad currently use a web UI with a native libmpv player and external-player handoff, until the native client replaces it.
