Setup Questions

[kennyparsons]

I have some setup questions that I haven't been able to find much on (or I haven't understood the problem correctly).

1. I thought this could be used without prowlarr/jacket and instead use torrentio. I enabled it in the settings but am I to just leave the indexers options empty or inspected in the UI?

2. Does the UI need to be publicly accessible? I have it behind my zero trust network and can easily access it via the browser, but stremio errors out when trying to install, saying it's unreachable.

1) just set jackett and a random password in config

2) yes it needs to be accessible publicly. to check if it's working, try opening it in your browser private window

I can hit the domain on any browser on my computer, private or otherwise. I use tailscale, so the agent allows any browser to access. Which leads me to the followup questions:

Is stremio's server accessing it or the stremio local app? Because if it's the local app, then I'm wondering why it's not reachable.

So I did some digging:

1. In the web version of stremio, I opened the dev console and saw the install addon failed because the site was http, not https. I configured nginx with valid tailscale public certs, accessible only on the tailscale network. I can now install the addon. But a new problem emerges:
2. When i start a stream, I get video but no audio. So I investigate further:

I open the dev console and again see an http block message after starting the video:

Comet is only being served over nginx/https, yet something is calling for http. To be sure, I put in an http-->https redirect for all calls, but the browser is just blocking it, and letting it redirect to https.

So about the audio problem:

• Had the same problem with no audio. It was caused for me atleast because stremio web did not connect to the stremio-server correctly, showed up in the web ui settings of stremio as offline.

• Also depending on the stream the browser might not support it and cause the no audio issue.

• And not sure if related to the audio issue but i fixed the stremio-server issue by using v5 of stremio which supports transcoding and had no problems since. You can find a list of what version supports what here

Limited Accessibility:

• What I did to make it not publicly available is to set up stremio-web, stremio-server and comet behind a ip whitelist.

web audio is broken on Stremio for most content, it's not a Comet issue. try with very small content like less than 1gb and you will have audio
