Out of scope features

This page describes commonly requested functionalities that unfortunately are not and will never be supported (at the time of writing).

Note: This page was created because the FAQ page doesn’t allow for deep linking to specific sections. Having a dedicated page for out-of-scope features makes it easier to reference these limitations directly.

User comments

The addon details page is not the right place for feedback or bug reports. Developers should decide for themselves what channel they want to use to gather feedback and bug reports. For now, they can let users know where to go in the addon documentation section.

Future plans

We are experimenting with an (optional) integration with an external user feedback platform that has everything a developer and user would need to communicate properly.

Additionally, developers will be able to specify their preferred methods of communication on the addon settings page, such as a GitHub issue tracker URL or a Discord server. These links will then show up in a clearly visible spot on the addon details page.

Addon management hacks

We do not plan to support features that are not already supported by Stremio’s existing products. Actions like rearranging addons or removing Cinemeta are undocumented and can potentially break your Stremio account if not handled carefully. We were told that the Stremio team frequently receives support tickets from users who have damaged their accounts using such third-party tools, and we do not want this project to contribute to that.
