There are 2 more important things that should be noted here: It uses HTTP streams and not torrents, this means that it might be faster at loading streams compared to torrent addons when it comes to the more obscure / older media that normally lacks peers.īecause it uses HTTP streams it also has a lot of old media, and usually does not discriminate between good or bad quality media.Īlthough in my tests it seemed to work quite well, the addon, (as with the websites) uses many different streaming servers, some may not work on Android and only work on Desktop, some of the streams even work on Stremio Web, (although not too many of them) and there are some streams that (for some reason) break when trying to seek within the video. What should you expect from the "123movies" addon? The websites themselves though do not stream from their own servers, and instead stream from a variety of video uploading sites, some of the more popularly known are openload, vidstream, gdrive, and many others. Websites with this name (and other similar names such as "GoMovies", "GoStream", "MeMovies" and others) have been available online for many many years now (although an exact year of when they appeared is still unknown) and have the tendency of constantly changing their domains in order to ensure their survival. "123 Movies" is a name used by many websites these days, it is not believed that the name itself refers to only one group that is launching these websites, but instead is used as a logo + name placeholder for websites streaming a particular type of content. In order to install this addon, search for "RPDB Catalogs" in the Stremio addon catalog, click the "Configure" button, load your RPDB API Key (or subscribe for one if needed), optionally configure the addon to your choosing, and click "Install Addon".Although I may be a bit late at announcing this new (seemingly very popular) addon, I will do my best to give an accurate and detailed description of what users should expect from it. "RPDB Catalogs" brings a truly unique new perspective regarding what Stremio addons are actually capable of, while also opening a door towards monetised addons, something that to me, personally, was a surprise. The developer assured me that the smallest price subscription ($3 per month) from RPDB is enough in order for the addon to work properly. This addon has a configuration page which allows users to:Ĭhoose which catalogs they want to see: Movies, Series, Other (all are enabled by default if a user does not make a choice)Įnable / disable searching (searching for movies and series is enabled by default)Ĭhoose what ratings to see on the posters (by default it shows ratings from all the most popular websites, Tier 2 is required in order to change this setting to other types) In addition to this, for all movies and series from the catalogs, it also shows all of the posters with ratings (from the most popular rating sites) directly on them. These catalogs are based on new releases, torrent popularity and ratings, and are supposed to be very accurate. New / Best Other ("Other" meaning: News / Talk-Shows / Reality-TV / etc) So RPDB gives movie and series posters with ratings from IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic burned onto them, but in order to use it, you will need to pay for a subscription. The simplest way of getting a quick idea in regards to what you can expect from this addon is by checking out these screenshots. This addon is based on a new service called Rating Poster Database (or RPDB for short), which is a side project created by one of Stremio's developers. In an unusual twist of events, we now see the very first monetised addon for Stremio.
