no matter what i do i cant stream any movie I'm accessing the server via a different network and PC I'm hosting the server on a VPS, I made sure to allow all the ports just to check if that gonna solve the issue or not but whenever I try to play something I get the field to fetch error here is what I get in the network tap

from what I've read on the internet about the Mixed block it seems like I need https cer for my sever but didn't see anything about that on this page.

adding to that, accessing the stremio webpage via port 8080 and then adding the server from settings will allow me to play movies but without any video I just hear sounds

Hi @tsaridas , i'm the dev lead at Stremio.

I came across ur project and think it's pretty cool, we'd feature it on the main downloads page as a "Docker" download as it includes a complete solution. (both Stremio Web as client and Stremio Server)

We just need to know if u agree to this and if you are interested in maintaining it for the long run so we can be assured of the project's longevity.

We would also like to offer the option to move the repo under the Stremio organization on GitHub (if you wish to ofc, you will still have maintainer access to the repo), this will give it more visibility and probably more community development assistance.

Good job! Looking forward to hearing ur reply. 🙂

I have tried every option I could possibly think of to get hardware acceleration for my RTX1060 to work. I have switched the base image to use the CUDA one from Nvidia. Compiled from source using these flags (and just trying from the toolkit) https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro#NVENC additionally I followed all official Nvidia instructions yet I still get the Unknown encoder 'h264_nvenc ffmpeg' error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also even without hardware acceleration no Transcode profile is available it default to "Disabled" while using stremio-service I have the option for nvenc-win (i'm not sure but getting hardware acceleration may enable that as an option?)

Used youtube to test whether this works, and it gave warning in logs and error in player

stremio         | WARNING: ytdl-core is out of date! Update with "npm install ytdl-core@latest".

The fix was as it old:

docker exec -it stremio sh
npm install ytdl-core@latest

Any way to make this work with a Gluetun container for VPN? - server doesn't start when connected to VPN

First of all, thanks for the wonderful job, i had problems using the oficial stremio-server on a SOC Orange Pi 5 (similar to RPI5) and your solution works flawlessly.

Is it possible to set automatic the streaming server url?

It was great to come accross yout stremio docker server/client. I've been trying for a while to make Stremio available for UmbrelOS, but not having a server/client running all in one container defeated the cause of having Stremio running on a home server.
Thanks a lot!
That being said, wanted to address this to issues which I would like to overcome to be able to streamline this for Umbrel OS (all the credits will be given to you, I just want this tool to be available for Umbrel users).
The client/server works like a charm in my RPI 4 (kind of standard HW for UmbrelOS, excluding their own developed HW).
The only two features that wouldn't work are FB login and Casting to a device.
FB login throws the following error: JSSDK unknown host domain
The domain where you host the Facebook SDK for Javascript is in your app's Javascript SDK host domain list. Specify your host domain in the login settings in the app dashboard.
I believe it might have to do with the fact I'm accessing http webui and not https (for Umbrel porpose, https is not an option, that is why I want it to work on http, if that is the problem, and is actually possible).
On casting to a device, I haven't disabled in the options it when running the container, but still in the player the button is greyed out (I have a running chromecast on my network), so I assumed it is disabled by default, or simply not working.
Any help with this issues or at least the reasons for them would be awesome.
In any case, great job and thanks once again!

Hi,
was able to compile on a synology NAS (arch: appollolake) but I get the following when web interface connects to the server:
hls-converter - Tests for hardware accelerated transcoding finished, no viable acceleration profiles detected

I suspect, ffmpeg compilation didn't go well.
Is it possible to configure the docker in order to use ffmpeg binary which are already available on the synology NAS?
Or do you have any suggestion?

thank you

I am a layperson in this. How do I change the ports? I want to create more than one different Docker. I tried to change it in the .yaml, but the web UI would not open.

Not sure how to verify this as the webapp seems to keep running but the stremio-server parts seems to die without any error in the container logs.

https://*.519b6502d940.stremio.rocks:8080 is still working but says server offline

https://*.519b6502d940.stremio.rocks:12470 doesn't work

I've also tried with https://localhost:11470 seems to keep dying.

restarting the container makes it work for a minute but then it is unreachable again.

Running docker in Ubuntu; Hitting http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8080 in host machine and it is working.

Hitting streaming server to http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:11470 on host and IPad is not working, it is throwing below error

Using Chrome on Android has the error of no sound, and the error of not being able to copy the stream link

Using http only on a local container.
I've tried with different browsers with the same result.
The machine where Docker is running is a VM over Proxmox, and no GPU passtrough.
I also have Jellyfin running on another containr and it works well with no GPU hardware.
Do I need GPU hardware to stream?

I am running the server on a Odroid-HC4. I am using a self-signed URL which works great on everything but my TV. The *.stremio.rocks url from my PC works on the TV. I tried your repo in the hopes that it could generate a signed cert from stremio for the HC4.
However, if I specify a public or private IP, the container immediately crashes.

curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 11470 after 1 ms: Couldn't connect to server

Thanks for tour work. I can't find .pem file and I can't know what my FQDM is. I search in ~/.stremio-server and it's empty. Thank you in advance

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your work, I was looking into something similar recently!

I tried to setup stremio using your guidelines but I'm facing a playback error when starting a stream.

You'll find my config and logs below:

    volumes:

I keep getting an "unsupported media" playback error when trying to play files using the web player. I have successfully connected to the service using HTTPS.

The specific error is "Video is not supported" when using the V5 client (web.stremio.com).

When using the V4.4 client and hosted web player, the errror is "Playback error, please try again".

I installed the docker image and setup the streming server to my Lan IP and it's showing that the server is online

I installed Torrentio addon but when ever I want to stream the player error out with "Video is not supported".
I can use an extrnal player with m3u and vlc just fine.

I get this error in the logs when I try to play anything:

SSDP error: {
  type: 'ssdp',
  error: {
    type: 'send',
    error: Error: send EPERM 239.255.255.250:1900

    }
  }
}

I'm using your docker container and this works great. The only thing is that subtitles won't show up or are available after two minutes, when playing a movie or series episode. Is there something that I can do about this ?

Hey @tsaridas,

Thanks for making this combined container solution.

It’s really helpful, particularly for iPhone users like me who can’t stream torrents. I can now host my web and server in the Raspberry Pi and I can stream from my mobile without any Cors/https issues.

one thing I wanted to know, Can we not configure the server IP address automatically? By default it is always 127.0.0.1

When I use it on my home network it's 192.168.. again when I switch to its VPN network it's 10.140.. and for the public its random IP address.

Is there any way we can configure the container so that it can automatically pick up the IP and resolve it based on the network we are in?

How to configure torrentio utility, when I click on configure but it keeps asking to open stremio client application
