AIOMetadata: The Ultimate Stremio Metadata Addon

AIOMetadata is a next-generation, power-user-focused metadata addon for Stremio. It aggregates and enriches movie, series, and anime metadata from multiple sources (TMDB, TVDB, MyAnimeList, AniList, IMDb, TVmaze, Fanart.tv, MDBList, and more), giving you full control over catalog sources, artwork, and search.

🚀 Features

• Multi-Source Metadata: Choose your preferred provider for each type (movie, series, anime) — TMDB, TVDB, MAL, AniList, IMDb, TVmaze, etc.
• Rich Artwork: High-quality posters, backgrounds, and logos from TMDB, TVDB, Fanart.tv, AniList, and more, with language-aware selection and fallback.
• Anime Power: Deep anime support with MAL, AniList, Kitsu, AniDB, and TVDB/IMDb mapping, including studio, genre, decade, and schedule catalogs.
• Custom Catalogs: Add, reorder, and delete catalogs (including MDBList, streaming, and custom lists) in a sortable UI.
• Streaming Catalogs: Integrate streaming provider catalogs (Netflix, Disney+, etc.) with region and monetization filters.
• Dynamic Search: Enable/disable search engines per type (movie, series, anime) and use AI-powered search (Gemini) if desired.
• User Config & Passwords: Secure, per-user configuration with password and optional addon password protection. Trusted UUIDs for seamless re-login.
• Global & Self-Healing Caching: Redis-backed, ETag-aware, and self-healing cache for fast, reliable metadata and catalog responses.
• Advanced ID Mapping: Robust mapping between all major ID systems (MAL, TMDB, TVDB, IMDb, AniList, AniDB, Kitsu, TVmaze).
• Modern UI: Intuitive React/Next.js configuration interface with drag-and-drop, tooltips, and instant feedback.
