* Package name : stremio-server-installer Version : 1 Upstream Author : Juan Manuel Méndez Rey <[email protected]> (Debian-native, no separate upstream) * URL : https://www.stremio.com * License : GPL-3.0-only Programming Lang: Shell Description : downloader for Stremio's streaming server component Stremio's optional streaming server (server.js) provides BitTorrent streaming and other advanced streaming features for the stremio media center client. server.js itself is not freely redistributable -- Stremio's own dev lead has stated it is "not meant to be used / distributed outside of an official Stremio app" (see https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-shell/issues/435) -- so this package does not contain it: it downloads the current version directly from Stremio's own servers during installation, verifies its checksum, and installs it where the stremio package expects to find it. stremio functions without this package, with BitTorrent-based streaming unavailable. This is modeled on two existing Debian contrib packages solving the same kind of problem: ttf-mscorefonts-installer (Microsoft's TrueType fonts) and virtualbox-ext-pack (Oracle's proprietary VirtualBox Extension Pack). This is a prerequisite for `stremio` (wishlist bug #943703, WebKitGTK6 rewrite of Stremio's media center client), which Recommends: it.
