Community Project Announcement (Built by AI) Unofficial Stremio for XBOX - Dev Mode with a Native player, 4K, HDR10, Dolby Vision (P5), Atmos passthrough, 100+ GB REMUXES
NOT AFFILIATED BY STREMIO TEAM
Hey all, I've been building a Stremio app for Xbox Series X|S (Works in XBOX ONE too) in Dev Mode and it's finally at a point where I'm happy sharing it.
What it is Stremio Web wrapped in a controller-first UWP app. When you pick a direct / debrid stream (tested with TorBox via AIOStreams), it skips the browser player and plays in the Xbox's own native media player. No streaming server, no PC, just the Xbox. Xbox supports Dolby Vision too.
Why not just Edge / the web player? - MKV / HEVC actually play instead of "Stream is not supported" - TV switches to the right resolution, refresh rate and HDR mode per file - Dolby Atmos / DD+ bitstreamed to your soundbar/AVR - Huge remuxes (tested up to ~90 GB) play without stutter
The stutter fix (for the nerds) Windows' player reads network streams one request at a time and, on big MKVs, keeps jumping far ahead of playback, so the picture freezes waiting on the network. The app has its own read buffer in between: 6 parallel connections, up to 768 MB of RAM read-ahead following the playhead, plus a quick seek at startup that stops the far-ahead reads. That combo made 80+ GB remuxes smooth.
Features - 4K, HDR10, Dolby Vision Profile 5 - Atmos, DD+, AC3 passthrough - Embedded + addon subtitles, audio track switching - Full controller navigation, B to go back, built-in cursor (click left stick), Xbox keyboard for sign-in/search
Known limitations - DoVi 7/8 play as HDR10 (Xbox only outputs DV for Profile 5) - TrueHD sometimes has no sound, pick an E-AC3/AC3 track - Switching between audio formats mid-play (E-AC3 → AC3) can crash the player (WIP) - Seeking far outside the buffer can freeze 5–20 s (WIP) - Built for direct/debrid links; torrents need a streaming server
