Xtream Bridge Pro
The High-Performance IPTV Bridge for Stremio
Xtream Bridge Pro is a powerful, lightweight middleware designed to seamlessly integrate Xtream Codes IPTV services into the Stremio ecosystem. It acts as a high-performance bridge that fetches live TV, movies, and series from your provider, optimizes metadata, and serves it directly to your Stremio client on any device—including Tizen (Samsung), Android TV (Fire TV), and Web.
🚀 Key Features

- Automatic Meta-Cleaning: Automatically strips provider prefixes and pipe symbols (
|) from channel and category names for a cleaner UI. - Intelligent Content Filtering: Automatically hides maintenance or placeholder categories/channels starting with the
✦●✦prefix. - Smart Playback: Dynamically detects the correct video container extensions (MP4, MKV, TS) for movies and series to ensure zero-error playback.
- Built-in Image Proxy: Bypasses Mixed Content (HTTPS/HTTP) blocks and fixes broken SSL icons from providers, ensuring all posters and logos load correctly.
- Advanced Search: Supports global Stremio search and real-time category filtering during the setup process.
- Privacy-Centric: Credentials are encoded within your unique installation URL; no personal data is stored on the bridge server.

📖 Technical Functionality
Metadata Optimization
The bridge performs a "Deep Fetch" for movies and series. When you browse a category, it retrieves IMDB ratings, plot summaries, cast lists, and high-resolution backdrops to provide a premium "Netflix-style" experience inside Stremio.
Category Management
The bridge supports large playlists by allowing users to selectively sync only the categories they care about. This significantly improves loading speeds and reduces clutter on the Stremio home screen.
Stream Routing
Live TV streams are routed as .ts files, while VOD content is intelligently checked for .mp4 or .mkv extensions. This prevents the "Playback Error" common in other bridges when a provider uses non-standard file containers.
🔒 Security & Performance
- Stateless Architecture: The bridge does not use a database. All configurations are passed via Base64 parameters in the URL.
- Caching Layer: Frequently accessed category lists and metadata are cached in memory for 10 minutes to reduce the load on your IPTV provider's API.
- System Requirements: Optimized to run on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi using Node.js.
