# Introduction
|
|
|
|
## What is Stremio?
|
|
|
|
Stremio, on its surface, is a simple media player and aggregator.
|
|
When combined with the right addons and a debrid service though, it becomes my favourite on-demand video streamer currently in existence.
|
|
Following this guide, you'll end up with a simple solution to streaming content from all streaming services and more in the highest quality available with no buffering.
|
|
|
|
Stremio itself is free to download and use. All addons are also free to install and use.
|
|
You can optionally use addons with debrid services or Usenet providers to improve your experience.
|
|
To reiterate, these are optional and not required to use Stremio.
|
|
I cover what these services are and why you may want to use them later on in the guide.
|
|
|
|
Stremio can be used on many devices, including but not limited to:
|
|

You can also use Stremio without installing any application from your browser at [Stremio Web](https://web.stremio.com/).
|
|
This may not work on some devices.
|
|
|
|
I will now go through the technical details of Stremio, debrid services and addons.

If you do not care for these details, please skip ahead to the [setup](setup).

## Why should I use it over a movie website
|
|
|
|
- Your website likely doesn't support 4K, and even if it does, the quality is likely not as good as what you can get through Stremio.
|
|
- The 1080p content available through Stremio is vastly superior to the low bitrate and compressed content shown on your movie website
|
|
- With a Debrid service, you are accessing content from high speed servers, so you will likely not have to deal with buffering - considering you have a good internet connection.
|
|
- As soon as digital copies are available, you will be able to watch it through Stremio.
|
|
- Stremio can be directly installed onto many devices and there are no ads, making it easy to use on your TV.
