Formatters control how streams are displayed in Stremio — the text shown for each result (title, quality, size, audio, cache status, etc.). All Core Builds templates ship with **Core Nexus Elite** pre-loaded.

## How to Import a Formatter

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Formatter tab">
    In AIOStreams, go to the **Formatter** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Import">
    Click the **Import** icon in the top-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Paste the URL">
    Copy a formatter URL from below, paste it into the import dialog, and click **Load**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save** to apply. No Stremio reinstall needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Formatters are imported via the **Formatter tab** in AIOStreams — not via the Load Template flow. Use the raw URLs below.

## Notes

* Formatters are display-only — they don't affect which streams appear, filtering, or sorting
* All formatters use `id: "tamtaro"` — this is the correct formatter type for AIOStreams
* Score badges (ELITE / QUALITY) only appear when a stream has a ranked regex or stream expression score
* `{tools.newLine}` must be used for line breaks in the description — literal newlines cause the formatter to be silently discarded on import
* Compatible with AIOStreams v2.4.6+
