M3U Addon A self-hostable Stremio addon specifically designed for movies and series. It loads M3U playlists and Xtream Codes content, automatically resolves IMDb IDs using TMDB, and integrates the content directly into the Stremio ecosystem.
⚠️ Install Button — Demo Instance (Limited)
The install button uses a demo instance hosted on Render's free plan. It is limited to approximately 50 concurrent users and is only meant for testing purposes.
If the demo is not working or the catalog appears empty, it is likely because the demo instance is currently at capacity or sleeping. This is expected on the free plan on render (that’s why I recommend Railway).
To use the addon without limits, deploy your own private instance — it only takes a few minutes and is completely free.
