    A Utility to Hide Cinemeta Catalogs in Stremio

    A wise man once said, "Cinemeta catalogs are ugly"... and he was absolutely right.

    Step 1: Get Stremio Authentication Key

    1. Login to https://web.stremio.com/ using your Stremio credentials in your browser (Chrome Preferred).
    2. Open the developer console (F12 or right click page and click 'Inspect'), go to the 'Console' tab.
    3. Paste the follow code snippet into the console and press enter:
      JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("profile")).auth.key
    4. It should print out a code. Copy the value (leave out the quotation marks) and paste into the box below and press enter

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Who is this for?

    For users looking to remove Cinemeta catalogs from the Board and Discover pages in Stremio while keeping them available in search results, this workaround provides an effective solution.

    How does it work?

    Largely uses the same approach as Stremio Addon Manager

    This uses the Stremio API behind the scenes. Specifically the addonCollectionSet and addonCollectionGet endpoints.

    They are documented in detail here: Stremio API Documentation

    Is it safe?

    This is more a work-around than an official solution so your mileage may vary. In my own testing it appears to work without issue.

    Is this utility open-source?

    Yes, under MIT License. Check-out the source code here: Github Repository

    What are these modes?

    Near the top of the page there is a button where you can pick which mode this page is in.

    "Hide" mode will let you make and download a backup of your current addons as well as hide Cinemeta Catalogs from your board and discover pages in Stremio

    "Restore" mode will let you restore your stremio addons based on the backup file that was created

    Why hide Cinemeta Catalogs instead of removing Cinemeta

    From what I can gather, Cinemeta is a core add-on for Stremio's functionality. Removing it breaks things.

    By only hiding we can avoid many potential issues

    How do backups work?

    In "hide" mode, during step 2 you will have the opportunity to save your current add-ons to a backup file that you can tuck away in a safe place

    If you ever want to restore your addons to that backup, simply select "Restore" in the mode option near the top of the page and follow the steps
