  • right-click
  • "Search in Stremio"

It will search for the movie in your Stremio.

  • Go to "about:debugging" in the url bar
  • Click on "This Firefox"
  • Click on "Load Temporary Add-on"
  • Choose the file "manifest.json"
  • On the first visit to IMDB or Trakt, click on the extensions icon and then near this extension, mark it as "always allow on imdb" or trakt

Development

First of all, you need to have Node.js installed on your system.

To test the extension during development, load the extension as an unpacked extension in your browser.

Alternatively, you can build the extensions for all browsers and then load the extension from the dist directory. To do so, install the development dependencies first:

$ npm install

Then, run:

$ npm run build

This will create a dist directory with the built extensions. You can then load the extension following the installation instructions above.


This is an unofficial chrome extension of neither IMDB \ Trakt \ Stremio.
