This tutorial will show you how to install and set up Stremio APK on a Firestick, Fire TV, Android TV Box, phone, or tablet.
Stremio is a free media center application that works very similarly to Kodi and Plex.
This app is receiving praise from the streaming community and rightfully so because it works very well.
Just like Kodi, we can install 3rd party add-ons that allow for free streaming of on-demand movies, TV shows, live TV, and much more.
For these reasons and more, we have included Stremio within our Best APKs list.
While there are many similarities, this streaming application is different than Kodi in one major area.
Most of the addons available through Stremio rely on BitTorrent protocol which is a file-sharing technology that displays the IP address of its users.
Stremio & BitTorrent Technology
As of now, the best addons available within Stremio are based on BitTorrent technology.
This is completely different than streaming from apps such as Cinema HD or the most popular Kodi Addons.
When streaming a media file through BitTorrent, we are also sharing the same file with others which means our IP Address is being publicly broadcast.
If a person streams media that is copyright protected through BitTorrent without a VPN, trouble usually follows.
You may receive a threatening letter from your ISP or from a watchdog group that the Motion Picture Association hires to monitor the popular BitTorrent trackers.
Even though I’m streaming public domain movies and TV shows, I still protect myself with a VPN as I don’t want my IP address floating around these trackers.
When streaming media files through BitTorrent your IP Address is made public.
If you access copyrighted media through this technology without using a VPN this could lead to ISP termination or legal problems. You have been warned.
The following steps will show you how to install Stremio APK on the Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite.
These same steps also work for those using the Firestick 4K, 3rd Gen Fire TV Stick, Fire TVs, Fire TV Cube, and any Fire TV device.
This process also applies to those using Android devices such as the NVIDIA SHIELD, MECOOL Boxes, Chromecast, Android TV Boxes, phones, tablets, and any Streaming Device.

Stremio Setup
With the Stremio app installed we must now set up the app for use. The guide below will show two ways to use the Stremio app.
In the first method, we will install a torrent add-on for streaming Movies and TV Shows.
The second method will show the same torrent add-on but this time we will integrate Real-Debrid into the addon for an improved selection of streaming links.
However, before using the app we must first connect to a VPN to ensure safe streaming.
Even though I am streaming a free public domain movie in this example, I still don’t want my IP address floating around the BitTorrent trackers and my VPN takes care of this problem.
Installing a VPN is Simple
If you are using an Amazon Firestick or any Fire TV device, installing a VPN is a simple process outlined in our tutorial below.
How to Install Best VPN on Firestick/Fire TV
Once a connection has been made on your streaming device, click your home button. The VPN will remain running in the background.
The addon we will install is called Torrentio.
Unlike other Stremio Addons, we must use the Silk Browser to install Torrentio within Stremio.
Follow the steps below to install Torrentio on Stremio.
Install Torrentio Addon in Stremio (Without Real-Debrid)
In this guide, we will install Torrentio without real-debrid. Those who wish to integrate real-debrid within Torrentio will want to use follow screenshots for that guide below.
- Launch Silk Browser (or other browser) on your streaming device and type torrentio.strem.fun and click Go.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click Install.
- This will now launch the Stremio App.
- Click Not Now
- Choose Manual Log In.
- Select Guest Log In.
- Click Install.
- Click Install again.
- Return to the main menu of the Stremio App.
Now we will test to see if the addon installation worked by finding a movie to play.
In this instance, we chose Night of the Living Dead which is considered one of the Best Public Domain Movies by TROYPOINT.
- We can now see the torrent streams available from the Torrentio addon.
You will see a blue icon of a person in each available link. This indicates how many people are currently sharing the media file and the higher number usually means better playback.
You will also notice which Torrent Website each of the links is served from.
If you are a Real-Debrid user, we can integrate an account within the Torrentio addon which will provide an extra layer of security due to the fact that the Torrents will be downloaded through the Real-Debrid servers.
Follow the guide below to set up Real-Debrid within Torrentio.
Install Torrentio with Real-Debrid on Stremio
IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to integrating Real-Debrid, you must make sure your VPN is turned OFF to ensure authorization.
After your VPN is disabled, open the home screen of your device and choose settings.
1. From the settings of your device, select Applications
2. Click Manage Installed Applications
3. Find and select Stremio
4. Click Clear Data
5. Click Clear data again
6. Next, we must enable Real-Debrid for use within Torrentio. To do so, we must be log into Real-Debrid and generate an API code by visiting real-debrid.com/apitoken
This can be done on any Browser you choose. However, you will want to make sure the device you are using has the ability to copy the code.
7. Paste the code into Notepad or other note application
8. Return to your streaming device and launch your Browser application. Type in the following website and click Go: https://torrentio.strem.fun/
9. After the site has loaded, click the arrow next to Sorting.
10. Choose how you would like to sort the video files. We like sorting by Seeders as this will show links at the top that are currently being shared by a larger number of people.
11. Scroll Down and choose Providers and select Real Debrid.
12. Select Real Debrid API Key and enter your API Code from earlier. Click Install.
13. This will prompt Stremio to open. Click Not Now.
14. Choose Manual Log In
15. Click Guest Login
16. You will then be prompted to install Torrentio. Click Install
17. Click install again
After the addon has been installed, we can now return the device home screen and connect to our VPN to ensure privacy.
That’s it! We can now check available links using the same movie as before. As you can see, there are numerous RD (real-debrid) links provided for streaming.
Ensure Your VPN is Active with VPNSafetyDot
Another useful application I recommend installing in conjunction with Stremio, is the VPNSafetyDot app.
VPNSafetyDot is a slick tool that enables an icon to appear in the upper right-hand corner of your screen when you are connected to a VPN.
With this app installed, users will always know when their connection is safe via VPN. You will also have the option to change icon transparency and more.
This is especially important when using applications that use torrent streams like Stremio or Syncler.
This is a great tool in granting peace of mind whenever streaming on your device. For more information on VPNSafetyDot, refer to our guide below.
