Formatters control how stream cards look — the title line, metadata rows, cache badge, audio tags, and release group. They’re completely separate from your template: swap one any time without reimporting or changing any filtering logic.

What each formatter emphasises

Score-focused — Apex v2, Nexus Prime

Shows a numeric score or tier badge (💎 ELITE · ✦ QUALITY) prominently in the title line so you can see at a glance which stream the template ranked highest. Apex v2 adds a score number alongside the badge; Nexus Prime includes SeaDex detection and an age format for anime. Best when you care about which result is actually ranked first and want that confirmed visually.

Resolution-focused — Elite, Core Nexus TV, Core Nexus Uniform

Colour-coded resolution circles (🟣/🔴 4K · 🔵 1080P · 🟢 720P) or UPPER CASE labels that are readable from across the room. Core Nexus TV is tuned for the 10-foot distance — everything uppercase, large section icons (🎬 🔊 🔌), no smallcaps. Core Nexus Elite ships bundled in every template and is the safe default if you’re not sure.

Typographic — Sigma, Core Syntax, Core Syntax V3

「 」 and 『 』 bracket systems, smallcaps throughout, clean editorial feel. No trade-off in information — the same metadata fields are present, just presented without heavy emoji. Core Syntax V3 adds JBL Spatial audio detection and IMAX/Hybrid edition flags for users who want those surfaced.

Density-focused — Omni Diamond v2.2.0, RB3 Clean v4

Maximum fields shown, sometimes across two name lines or six description rows. Edition and network flags, full language track listings, indexer, release group, and bitrate all visible without opening a stream. Best for power users who want every detail at a glance.

Minimal — Core Nexus Minimal, Midnight Slate

Fewer lines, first audio codec only, no emoji (Midnight Slate uses ◼ ⬤ ▶ ◆ ASCII shapes instead). For Apple TV, Infuse, small screens, clients that wrap long descriptions, or emoji-unfriendly UIs. Midnight Slate is also the right pick if your client substitutes coloured blocks for emoji.

How to import a formatter

  1. Go to the Formatter Gallery and copy the raw URL for your chosen formatter.
  2. Open your AIOStreams dashboard and go to the Formatter section.
  3. Click the Import icon (download arrow), paste the URL, and click Load.
  4. Click Save — then reinstall the AIOStreams manifest in Stremio.
Formatters are applied through the Formatter tab, not through the Load Template flow. The manifest reinstall is required because Stremio caches stream card layouts — skipping it means you’ll see the old formatter until the cache expires.
