A Stremio alternative for TV: your IPTV, debrid and add-ons in one player
A feature comparison with dated sources, not a verdict.
If you use Stremio for add-ons but also pay for an IPTV playlist or a debrid account, MIRA Player puts all three in one catalogue on Android TV, Google TV and the web. Stremio is a free app with optional Supporter plans; Kodi is free and open source; MIRA Player is $20/year or $99 lifetime (one-time); 7-day refund on your first payment. We host nothing: you bring the sources.
What Stremio says it is (stremio.com, 2026-10-18)
Stremio calls itself a modern media center. You install add-ons from its add-on catalog; its FAQ says the add-ons do not run any code locally and that Stremio provides no content itself. It lists apps for Android, Android TV, Windows, macOS, Linux and LG TV, suggests Stremio Web for iPhone and iPad (which it says is more limited), and says it plays magnet links, HTTP links and torrent files. The app is free; optional Supporter plans are $39.99 per year or $199.99 once (stremio.com/plans, checked 2026-10-18).
Whether Stremio itself reads M3U or Xtream Codes playlists, shows an EPG, or connects a debrid account natively is not stated on stremio.com as of 2026-10-18, so the table marks those cells unknown.
Where MIRA Player differs
MIRA Player connects three kinds of source you already have: IPTV (M3U playlists or Xtream Codes), debrid accounts (TorBox, Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, Debrid-Link) and Stremio add-ons by add-on URL. Results land in one catalogue with one watchlist, one search and Continue Watching, plus a live TV guide for your IPTV channels.
You connect sources in the web app at miraplayer.tv/app; your provider credentials stay between you and your provider. MIRA Player is a player, not a content service: it hosts, bundles and supplies no channels, movies or streams. Playback depends on your sources, device, codec support and network. MIRA Player does not claim to play magnet links; debrid titles come through your debrid service.
Where Kodi fits
Kodi (kodi.tv, checked 2026-10-18) is free, open source home theater software. It lists 1,060 official add-ons, runs on Windows, Linux, Android, Raspberry Pi, webOS and Apple platforms, and does live TV and recording through third-party PVR backends such as MediaPortal, MythTV, NextPVR and Tvheadend. See the Kodi comparison for detail.

- Subscribe. Pick a plan at miraplayer.tv/get: $20/year or $99 lifetime (one-time); 7-day refund on your first payment.
- Connect your sources on the web. Open miraplayer.tv/app and add your IPTV (M3U or Xtream Codes), your debrid account and any Stremio add-on URL. Sources connect on the web, not on the TV.
