Stremio - the next generation media center

Stremio is a full-featured media center designed to help you organize and stream your favorite videos, movies and TV series. It will notify you for new episodes / movies, and allow you to find new content through Discover.

Stremio allows, using its Add-ons system, to play movies, TV series and channels instantly.

stremio-core

stremio-core is a rust crate that's designed to contain all the reusable logic between Stremio versions.

Goals

• Flexibility - can be integrated into existing code bases, across the entire stack, and in different paradigms
  • use case: types can be used by add-ons
  • use case: can be used with existing user authentication as an addition to an existing app
  • use case: can use the Context model to manage the user authentication/addons, using it as a backbone to the entire Stremio app
• Emphasis on correctness
• No cruft / legacy - not burdened by obsolete decisions & solutions

Modules

• types
• addon_transport - handles communication with add-ons, implements legacy protocol adapter
• state_types: types that describe application state; inspired by the Elm architecture
  • Effects and Update traits
  • runtime: helps using stremio-core in an application by handling the effects automatically
  • environment: a trait describes the environment (fetch, storage)
  • msg: messages: actions, events
  • models: all stateful models, such as Context (handling user authentication, add-ons), Library, CatalogFiltered, etc.

Optimizing WASM output

WASM output binary can get large, especially if we derive Serialize/Deserialize in places we don't need to

We can optimize it by running twiggy: twiggy top ..._bg.wasm and seeing what the biggest code size offenders are

Adding new actions

Defining actions and what middleware requests they should trigger is defined in src/state_types/msg/actions
