Complete Guide - Core Builds

Core Builds templates are plug-and-play, but there is more to explore once you are up and running. This page covers everything that is not already on a dedicated doc page — from choosing between Stremio and WuPlay, to editing raw JSON safely, resetting a broken instance, tuning search criteria, adding library catalog tabs, and setting up TMDB metadata keys.

Stremio vs WuPlay

Both players work with Core Builds templates, but they behave differently in ways that matter.

At a Glance

Feature	Stremio	WuPlay
Platform	Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Smart TV	Android, Fire TV, Android TV
Stream type handling	Some YouTube/external streams slip through	Suppresses these more reliably
UI maturity	Polished, well-established	Newer, actively developed
Metadata	Excellent (Cinemeta)	Good
Deep links	Standard	Extended
Offline support	Limited	Better
Cost	Free (Stremio+/Web is paid)	Free

Stream Type Differences

The biggest practical difference between the two players is how they handle YouTube and external-type streams. When Stremio’s native catalog (Cinemeta) finds no streams for a title, it sometimes injects YouTube trailer links or external info cards alongside the AIOStreams results. These appear as clickable “streams” in your list but open a web browser instead of playing video. AIOStreams mitigation (v2.4.6+):

The Hard YouTube Kill ESE blocks type(streams, 'youtube'), type(streams, 'external'), and keyword matches
excludedStreamSources blocks YouTube source variants
hideErrors: true suppresses AIOStreams’ own error cards

WuPlay does not inject these Cinemeta trailer entries alongside addon results, so the problem simply does not occur. If you encounter YouTube links in WuPlay, the ESE fix will still catch them.

Real-Debrid Behaviour

Stremio interacts with RD through its standard addon API. RD’s May 2026 server-side filter causes error cards to appear in the stream list when cached files are flagged — hideErrors: true suppresses these, but the underlying RD streams are gone. WuPlay processes RD stream responses slightly differently, and community testing shows reduced impact from the RD filter. The Advanced dual-core builds are consistently reported as working better on WuPlay than on Stremio.

Which Should I Use?

Use Stremio if:

You are on a platform where WuPlay is not available (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Smart TV)
You want the most stable, polished experience
You primarily use TorBox-only templates (no RD dependency)

Use WuPlay if:

You are on Android, Fire TV, or Android TV
You use the Hybrid (TorBox + RD) templates
YouTube/external stream leakage has been a problem for you in Stremio
You want better handling of niche stream types

Using Both

There is no conflict. You can install the same AIOStreams manifest in both players simultaneously. Many users run Stremio on desktop and WuPlay on a Fire TV Stick — the same template works across both.

Formatter Compatibility

Both players fully support AIOStreams formatters. The name and description fields render correctly in both. WuPlay may display slightly different line heights or wrapping on very long description lines, but all Core Builds formatters are tested on both platforms.

Advanced Editing

Core Builds are designed to be plug-and-play, but you can adjust caching rules, tweak filtering, or edit the raw template JSON. This section covers how to do it safely.

Step 1 — Access Your AIOStreams Host

Open your preferred AIOStreams instance and navigate to your existing configuration. You can reach it via the Configure button in Stremio next to the AIOStreams addon, or by visiting your host directly and entering your password.

Rank	Host	URL
🥇	ElfHosted	`https://aiostreams.elfhosted.com`
🥈	Yeb’s (ForTheWeak)	`https://aiostreams.fortheweak.cloud`
🥉	Midnight’s	`https://aiostreamsfortheweebsstable.midnightignite.me`
4	Viren’s	`https://aiostreams.viren070.me`
5	Kuu’s	`https://aiostreams.stremio.ru`
6	ATBP	`https://aio.atbphosting.com`
7	Omni’s	`https://aiostreams.12312023.xyz`

Step 2 — Enable Advanced Mode

Look near the top of the configuration page — usually top-right or just below the main header
Find the toggle labelled “Advanced Mode” or “Show Advanced Settings”
Toggle it ON

Once enabled, the UI expands to show deeper developer settings.

Step 3 — What Advanced Mode Unlocks

Raw JSON Editor — directly edit excludedStreamExpressions, resolution limits, scraper timeouts, and any other config field
Granular Scraper Controls — fine-tune how each addon (Comet, Meteor, MediaFusion, etc.) behaves within the build
Proxy Configuration — direct access to MediaFlow proxy URLs and credentials
Synced URL Management — view and edit the external regex and expression URLs your template pulls from

Editing Rules

JSON syntax is strict. A single missing comma or mismatched bracket will break the entire template and prevent it from loading.

// ❌ WRONG — trailing comma before closing bracket
"excludedQualities": ["CAM", "SCR",]

// ✅ CORRECT
"excludedQualities": ["CAM", "SCR"]

Quality values must match exactly. AIOStreams only accepts specific enum strings for quality fields. Case matters:

Correct	Wrong
`BluRay REMUX`	`Bluray REMUX`
`BluRay`	`Bluray`
`WEB-DL`	`WEBDL`
`WEBRip`	`Webrip`
`HC HD-Rip`	`HC HD-RIP`

Stream Expression functions must exist. AIOStreams SEL only recognises specific built-in functions. Common mistakes that break expressions silently:

Correct	Wrong
`type(streams, 'youtube')`	`streamType(streams, 'youtube')`
`keyword(streams, 'WEB-DL')`	`filename(streams, 'WEB-DL')`
`quality(streams, 'BluRay')`	`quality(streams, 'Bluray')`

Sort keys must be valid. The sortCriteria field only accepts recognised sort keys. These are not valid and will throw an import error:

season
episode

Valid keys include: quality, resolution, cached, seeders, size, age, bitrate, releaseGroup, streamExpressionMatched, seadex, and others listed in the AIOStreams schema. sortCriteria requires "direction", not "order". AIOStreams rejects "order" on import with a schema validation error even though both names seem intuitive. Always use:

"sortCriteria": {
  "global": [
    { "key": "streamExpressionMatched", "direction": "desc" },
    { "key": "cached", "direction": "desc" }
  ]
}

Formatter expressions — use || not |. In the formatter’s name and description fields, condition separators must be double-pipe ||. A single pipe will cause the expression to fail and render raw template text.

// ❌ WRONG
{stream.quality::exists["BluRay"|"Unknown"]}

// ✅ CORRECT
{stream.quality::exists["BluRay"||"Unknown"]}

stream.age already includes its unit. In current versions of AIOStreams, stream.age returns the age value with a d suffix already appended (e.g. 10d). Do not add another d in your formatter template or it will display 10dd:

// ❌ WRONG — produces "10dd"
{stream.age::>0["• {stream.age}d"||"• New"]}

// ✅ CORRECT
{stream.age::>0["• {stream.age}"||"• New"]}

Services — all opt-in, none required. All templates ship with the full 12-service roster set to enabled: false. Do not set any service to enabled: true in the raw JSON. This forces the template to require that service and will break it for anyone who does not have it. Enable services through the UI only.

stremthruTorz vs stremthruStore. The debrid provider preset differs by service:

stremthruTorz — TorBox-specific (used in all TorBox templates)
stremthruStore — all other debrid services: AllDebrid, Real-Debrid, Premiumize, etc.

Do not swap these. Using stremthruTorz with a non-TorBox API key produces zero streams silently. Regex patterns — whitelist applies on public instances. If you add custom entries to rankedRegexPatterns, preferredRegexPatterns, or excludedRegexPatterns, hosted AIOStreams instances (elfhosted, fortheweak) only allow patterns whose pattern string exactly matches an entry in their whitelist. Adding a new pattern with a custom regex will be rejected on import with “X/N regexes not allowed” — your pattern must already exist verbatim in the host’s allowed list. See Expression Layer for the full regex architecture reference.

Validate Before Saving

If you make any manual edits, always validate before saving. Copy your edited JSON and paste it into JSONLint or JSON Formatter to catch syntax errors before they break your build.

Resetting Your Instance

Sometimes a template import goes wrong, credentials get stuck in a broken state, or you simply want to start completely fresh.

Before You Reset — Back Up First

If your instance is still accessible, export your current configuration before doing anything else.

Open your AIOStreams dashboard
Go to the Template section
Tap the Export icon (box with outward arrow)
Save the JSON file somewhere safe

Choosing the Right Reset

Situation	What to do
Template imported wrong settings	Soft reset — re-import over existing config
Config is broken but you can still log in	Soft reset or hard reset
Forgotten password	Hard reset — Delete User
Stremio showing errors after config change	Re-install manifest only
Want to switch templates entirely	Soft reset — re-import new template
Something is fundamentally broken	Hard reset — Delete User

Option 1 — Soft Reset (Re-Import a Template)

Re-importing a template replaces your entire configuration without deleting your account or credentials. This is the quickest fix for most problems.

Open your AIOStreams dashboard
Go to the Template section
Tap the Import icon
Paste the raw GitHub URL for your chosen template or select a local file
Enter your credentials when prompted
Tap Load Template
Review that services and addons look correct
Tap Save
Copy the new manifest URL and reinstall in Stremio or WuPlay

The re-import replaces all filter settings, addons, sort criteria, and formatter settings. Your password is not affected.

Option 2 — Hard Reset (Delete User)

Deletes your entire account and configuration. Use this when a soft reset is not enough or when you have forgotten your password.

Step 1 — Note your manifest URL (if possible)

If Stremio still has the addon installed, you will need to uninstall it after the reset. Having the old URL makes this easier, but it is not required.

Step 2 — Delete your user account

Open your AIOStreams host in a browser
Scroll to the very bottom of the configuration page
Tap Delete User
Confirm the deletion

This permanently removes your account, password, and all saved configuration. It cannot be undone.

Step 3 — Create a new account

Refresh the page — you will be returned to the initial setup screen
Enter a new password (or the same one)
Tap Create User or Register

Step 4 — Re-import your template

Follow the steps in the Import a Template guide to load a fresh template and enter your API keys.

Step 5 — Uninstall the old addon from Stremio

Open Stremio
Go to Addons
Find the old AIOStreams entry and tap Uninstall
Tap Install on the new manifest URL from your fresh setup

Option 3 — Password Reset

If you have forgotten your password and cannot log in, a full Delete User is the only option on most hosted instances — there is no password recovery email flow. Follow Option 2 above.

On self-hosted Docker instances, you can reset the password by clearing the relevant environment variable or database entry and restarting the container. Check your host’s documentation for the exact procedure.

Reinstalling in Stremio After Any Reset

Any time you reset or change your AIOStreams configuration, your manifest URL changes. The old URL in Stremio will stop returning results. You must reinstall.

Stremio
WuPlay

Go to Addons
Find the old AIOStreams entry — tap Uninstall
Open your AIOStreams dashboard and copy the new manifest URL
Paste it into Stremio’s addon search bar or tap Install from the dashboard

If you did a soft reset (re-imported a template) and your manifest URL did not change, you do not need to reinstall. Stremio will pick up the updated configuration automatically on the next stream request. A full app restart speeds this up.

Common Problems After a Reset

Import fails with HTTP 404

The template URL is wrong or the file does not exist at that path on GitHub. Check the URL carefully — folder names and filenames are case-sensitive.

Import fails with "Invalid template"

The JSON file is malformed. Validate it at jsonlint.com before importing.

Stremio still showing the old stream list

The old manifest is still installed. Uninstall it from the Stremio addon manager and reinstall with the new URL.

Credentials modal does not appear after re-import

NZBGeek not working on ElfHosted / fortheweak (Hybrid template)

NZBGeek flags accounts accessed from multiple IP addresses simultaneously. On shared hosting, the search request and the NZB download can originate from different IPs, which triggers this.The NZBGeek preset is disabled by default from v2.9.8 onwards. To use it on ElfHosted, route it through Zyclops — set the Zyclops proxy URL in the Newznab addon config so search and grab share one IP, then enter your API key.On a private/self-hosted AIOStreams instance this is not an issue — enable the preset and enter your API key normally.If you want a Usenet indexer that explicitly allows public AIOStreams instances, NinjaCentral has confirmed compatibility.

Search Criteria

What Is Search Criteria?

When you open a movie or show in Stremio, AIOStreams sends a request to your addons with the title, year, and episode information. Search criteria controls how strictly the returned streams must match that request before they are shown to you. Too strict → zero results on valid content Too loose → wrong content appearing (a movie showing episodes from a show with the same name) All three matching settings live in the same section of the config:

"titleMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "mode": "contains",
  "similarityThreshold": 0.75
},
"yearMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "strict": false,
  "tolerance": 2
},
"seasonEpisodeMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "strict": false
}

Title Matching

Controls whether the stream’s filename must contain the title of the content you’re watching.

Setting	Values	Default (Core Builds)
`enabled`	`true` / `false`	`true`
`mode`	`"contains"` / `"exact"`	`"contains"`
`similarityThreshold`	`0.0` – `1.0`	`0.75`

contains (recommended) — the stream filename just needs to include the title somewhere. “Gladiator.II.2024.2160p…” would match a search for “Gladiator 2”. exact — the stream filename must match the title almost perfectly. exact mode causes zero results on sequels, films with alternate titles, and anything with punctuation differences. Never use exact for public templates. Similarity Threshold — how closely the title in the stream filename must resemble the requested title. Only applies in contains mode.

Threshold	Effect
`1.0`	Perfect match required — same as `exact` mode effectively
`0.75`	Recommended — handles minor variations, punctuation, romanisation
`0.60`	Loose — may allow unrelated streams with partial title matches
`0.50`	Very loose — not recommended

Year Matching

Filters streams based on the release year. Prevents you from seeing a 1990 film when you open a 2023 remake with the same name.

Setting	Values	Default (Core Builds)
`enabled`	`true` / `false`	`true`
`strict`	`true` / `false`	`false`
`tolerance`	Integer (years)	`2`

strict: false (recommended) — a stream is allowed if its year is within the tolerance range. A ±2 tolerance means a 2023 film will match streams tagged 2021–2025. strict: true — streams must match the year exactly. This causes zero results because TMDB and release groups sometimes disagree on release year by 1–2 years, films released at year-end get tagged as the following year, and international releases sometimes use the local premiere year. Tolerance — how many years either side of the TMDB year are accepted. Only applies when strict: false.

Tolerance	Effect
`0`	Same as `strict: true`
`1`	One year either side — can still miss some edge cases
`2`	Recommended — covers all common year discrepancy scenarios
`3+`	Too loose for most content — remakes may collide with originals

Season / Episode Matching

For series content, controls whether streams must have explicit season and episode metadata matching the episode you’re watching.

Setting	Values	Default (Core Builds)
`enabled`	`true` / `false`	`true`
`strict`	`true` / `false`	`false`

strict: false (recommended) — streams are allowed through even if they don’t have explicit S/E metadata in the filename. BluRay and REMUX releases frequently omit S/E numbering in filenames, older releases used different naming conventions, and season packs often don’t have per-episode tags. strict: true — every stream must have a season and episode number that exactly matches the requested episode. This will drop all BluRay REMUXes, most older content, and any stream that uses non-standard episode naming.

Language Settings

Field	Effect
`requiredLanguages`	Hard-requires every stream to match. Streams without any of these languages are dropped completely.
`preferredLanguages`	Soft preference used for sorting. Streams with these languages rank higher. Nothing is blocked.

Core Builds sets requiredLanguages: [] (empty) on all templates. This is intentional — hard-requiring languages blocks streams that don’t have language metadata embedded (common in older releases, scene content, and some Usenet uploads) even when the content is perfectly valid English content.

If you do add languages to requiredLanguages, always include "Unknown" — a large proportion of valid streams have no language tag and would be dropped without it.

Common Scenarios

Symptom	Fix
Zero results on a specific title	Lower `similarityThreshold` to `0.65`, confirm `yearMatching.tolerance` is `2`, confirm `strict: false` on both year and season/episode matching
Wrong show or movie results appearing alongside correct ones	Increase `similarityThreshold` to `0.80`, confirm `yearMatching.tolerance` is not too high
Older content (pre-2000) returning few results	Lower `similarityThreshold` to `0.65`, increase `yearMatching.tolerance` to `3`, confirm `seasonEpisodeMatching.strict` is `false`
Anime returning wrong dubs or wrong shows	Lower `similarityThreshold` to `0.65`, ensure SeaDex ISE is enabled, ensure `preferredLanguages` includes `"Dubbed"` if dubs are wanted
Series returning season packs instead of individual episodes	Confirm the `ongoingSeasonPack` ESE is enabled, check your TMDB API key is correctly set

Full Reference Config

The safest, most permissive matching configuration for maximum stream coverage:

"titleMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "mode": "contains",
  "similarityThreshold": 0.75
},
"yearMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "strict": false,
  "tolerance": 2
},
"seasonEpisodeMatching": {
  "enabled": true,
  "strict": false
},
"requiredLanguages": [],
"preferredLanguages": ["English", "Original", "Dual Audio", "Multi", "Dubbed", "Unknown"]

The three strict settings that break things most often:

titleMatching.mode: "exact" — kills sequels, alternate titles, romanised anime
yearMatching.strict: true — kills year-boundary releases
seasonEpisodeMatching.strict: true — kills BluRay REMUX and older content

All three default to their strict forms in a fresh AIOStreams install. All three Core Builds templates correct this. If you are building your own config from scratch or editing someone else’s, these are the first three settings to check when streams are not appearing.

Catalogs

Catalogs are the browse tabs that appear in Stremio’s Discover screen and on the home page — “Your Movies”, “Your Series”, “Your Anime”, and “Continue Watching” lists. They are separate from stream results and are powered by your debrid service’s library, not the scrapers.

Why Templates Ship With Empty Catalogs

Templates shipped through Core Builds default to "mergedCatalogs": []. This is intentional:

Catalog availability depends on which addons you have enabled and which debrid service you’re using
TorBox catalog IDs differ from AllDebrid catalog IDs — a pre-filled catalog list from a TorBox template would break for AllDebrid users
Empty is the safe default — users add the catalogs that match their own setup

Standard Catalog Types

Catalog	What it shows
Your Movies	Movies you’ve cached or downloaded via TorBox
Your Series	TV series in your TorBox library
Your Anime	Anime titles in your TorBox library
Continue Watching — Movies	Movies you’ve started but not finished
Continue Watching — Series	Episodes you’ve started but not finished

The “Continue Watching” entries are sourced from your Stremio watch history combined with what’s in your library.

How to Add Catalogs

Open your AIOStreams dashboard and log in
Scroll down until you see the Catalogs section (usually between Addons and Formatter)
Click Add Catalog (or the + button). Each entry has these fields:
- Addon — which addon provides this catalog. For TorBox library catalogs, select Library or TorBox
- Type — the content type: movie, series, or anime
- ID — the catalog ID string. Common TorBox values: torbox_movies, torbox_series, torbox_anime
Click Save
Uninstall the old AIOStreams addon from Stremio and reinstall with the new manifest URL — catalog tabs only appear after a fresh manifest install

Catalog IDs are service-specific. TorBox uses torbox_movies, torbox_series, torbox_anime. AllDebrid catalog IDs differ — check your AIOStreams instance’s Catalog section after enabling the Library addon to see which IDs are available for your service.

Not sure of the exact catalog IDs? Add the Library addon from AIOStreams → Addons, then open the Catalogs section — the available catalog IDs should auto-populate or be listed in the addon’s configuration.

Catalogs vs Stream Results

	Catalogs	Stream Results
Where they appear	Stremio Home / Discover tabs	Inside a movie or show page
What they show	Browsable library lists	Ranked streams ready to play
What controls them	`mergedCatalogs` in config	ESEs, PSEs, sort criteria
Updated when	Manifest reinstalled	Every stream request
Affected by template import	Yes — reset to template defaults	Yes — all settings replaced

Troubleshooting

Catalog tabs not appearing after adding them

The manifest URL must be reinstalled in Stremio. Adding catalogs changes the manifest — the old URL does not update automatically.

AIOStreams dashboard → copy the new manifest URL
Stremio → Addons → find AIOStreams → Uninstall
Paste the new manifest URL → Install
Restart Stremio

Catalogs appear but are empty

Your TorBox library is empty or the Library addon is not enabled.

Go to AIOStreams → Addons → confirm the Library addon is present and enabled
Add a few files to TorBox first, then refresh the catalog in Stremio

"Your Anime" tab is missing even after adding it

The anime catalog type depends on your debrid service tagging content as anime. TorBox auto-categorises most content based on TMDB genre. If your TorBox library contains anime but the catalog is empty, the issue is usually that the titles were cached before TorBox’s genre tagging updated — try re-adding one title to TorBox and checking again.

Catalogs disappeared after re-importing a template

Expected. Re-importing resets mergedCatalogs to the template’s defaults. Re-add your catalog entries through the Catalogs section and reinstall the manifest after saving.

TMDB & TVDB Keys

AIOStreams uses TMDB (The Movie Database) for title matching, season detection, and metadata enrichment. Without a key, some features degrade silently — season pack filtering stops working, “continue watching” recommendations don’t load, and some marketplace addons refuse to start.

Why You Need a TMDB Key

Feature	Requires TMDB
Title matching accuracy	Yes
Season detection (`ongoingSeasonPack` ESE)	Yes
”Recommended” content in catalogs	Yes
Episode air date awareness	Yes
Some marketplace addons	Yes

Templates ship with "tmdbAccessToken": "<template_placeholder>" and "tmdbApiKey": "<template_placeholder>". These placeholders must be replaced with your real key — the template will not prompt you automatically.

Which Key to Use

TMDB offers two credential types. You only need one.

	Read Access Token	API Key
Format	Long JWT string (~200 chars)	32-character hex string
Recommended	Yes — use this one	Only if an addon specifically asks for it
Where to find	TMDB → Settings → API → Read Access Token	TMDB → Settings → API → API Key (v3 auth)

Use the Read Access Token for AIOStreams. It’s the long string starting with eyJ....

Step 1 — Get Your TMDB Read Access Token

Go to themoviedb.org/settings/api
- If you don’t have an account, register at themoviedb.org/signup — it’s free
Scroll down to API Read Access Token
Copy the full token (it’s long — make sure you copy all of it)

Do not copy the API Key (v3 auth) by mistake — it’s the shorter string directly above the Read Access Token on the same page. They look similar but are different credentials.

Step 2 — Enter It in AIOStreams

Open your AIOStreams dashboard
Scroll to the Metadata section (usually near the bottom, below Formatter)
Paste your Read Access Token into the TMDB Read Access Token field
Leave the TMDB API Key field blank unless a specific addon asks for it
Click Save

If you re-import a template, the TMDB fields reset to their placeholder values. You will need to re-enter your key after every import.

TVDB — Optional

TVDB is a separate TV-focused metadata database. AIOStreams supports it but does not require it for any Core Builds functionality. You only need a TVDB key if a specific addon you’re using explicitly requires it. To get one:

Go to thetvdb.com and register (free)
Navigate to your profile → API Keys
Generate a new API key and paste it into the TVDB API Key field in AIOStreams → Metadata

If you’re only using Core Builds templates with TorBox, you can leave the TVDB field blank.

Troubleshooting

Season packs showing when they shouldn't

The ongoingSeasonPack ESE uses TMDB data to detect whether a show is currently airing. If your TMDB token is missing or invalid, this ESE stops working — season packs may appear alongside individual episode streams.Fix: enter your TMDB Read Access Token in the Metadata section and save.

"Recommended" catalog is empty

The Recommended tab in Stremio pulls TMDB recommendation data. Without a valid token, it returns nothing.

An addon says "TMDB API key required"

Some marketplace addons require the short 32-character API Key (v3 auth) rather than the Read Access Token. Go back to themoviedb.org/settings/api, copy the API Key (v3 auth) field, and paste it into the TMDB API Key field in AIOStreams → Metadata — not the Read Access Token field.

Token resets after re-importing a template

Expected. Re-importing replaces all config including the TMDB placeholder fields. Always re-enter your key in the Metadata section after any template import.
