What is Stremio Cast?
Stremio Cast is a technical integration designed to streamline the media consumption workflow within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem. It automates the process of navigating the Stremio Web interface, searching for specific media titles, and extracting the direct stream link from a local server. This skill bridges the gap between desktop media management and living room hardware, providing a programmatic way to control playback.
By utilizing browser automation and command-line casting utilities, it allows users to trigger media playback on their TV without manual browser interaction. This makes it an ideal component for users building comprehensive home automation setups or AI-driven media assistants.
Stremio Cast Use Cases
- Requesting specific movies or TV shows to play on a Chromecast via voice or text command.
- Automating the discovery of high-quality streaming links from a local Stremio Service.
- Bridging web-based media sources with physical hardware in a smart home environment.
- Reducing the manual steps required to start a stream from a computer to a television.
How Stremio Cast Works
- The skill launches a Playwright-controlled browser instance and navigates to the Stremio Web application.
- It enters the provided search query to find the requested movie or series.
- The automation selects the top result and identifies the best available streaming link provided by the local Stremio server.
- It intercepts the internal stream URL (typically routed through 127.0.0.1:11470).
- The skill passes this URL to the CATT (Cast All The Things) utility, which establishes a connection with the specified Chromecast and starts the stream.
Stremio Cast Setup
To use this feature within Openclaw Skills, you must prepare your environment with the following dependencies:
- Ensure the Stremio Service is running locally on port
11470. - Install the required Python packages and browser engines:
pip install playwright catt
playwright install
- Identify your Chromecast device name (e.g., "Living Room").
- Execute the script with the title and device as arguments:
python3 scripts/stremio_cast.py "Inception" "Living Room"
Stremio Cast Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill processes data dynamically and interacts with the Stremio local server schema as follows:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | String | The title of the content to be searched. |
| device | String | The name of the target Chromecast device. |
| stream_url | URL | The intercepted local stream address (127.0.0.1:11470). |
| selectors | JSON | CSS selectors used for Playwright automation. |
No persistent user data is stored; all interactions are session-based.
Stremio Cast Advanced Features
- Multi-device support allowing users to specify different Chromecasts for different rooms.
- Stream interception logic that captures the raw media link for direct casting, bypassing browser overhead.
- Headless automation mode for background processing without interrupting active desktop work.
- Customizable CSS selector mapping in the source script to adapt to Stremio Web UI updates.
