Hydra is a next-generation Stremio add-on that aggregates HTTP streaming URLs with AI fallback, intelligent caching, and resilient multi-source extraction.
Every component is engineered for reliability, speed, and self-recovery.
When native extractors fail due to DOM changes, Gemini or OpenAI dynamically steps in to analyze the page and recover stream links. It heals itself.
Backed by Redis for distributed caching with SQLite fallback. Drastically reduces load on streaming providers and delivers sub-second response times.
Smart proxy rotation, dynamic retries, and parallel extraction across all sources. Fetches more links faster than any other add-on.
A sleek, dark-mode glassmorphism configuration page. Organize languages, proxy settings, AI keys, and resolution filters with zero friction.
Unlock IP-locked hosters like FileMoon, Mixdrop, Streamtape, and VOE. Seamlessly integrated — just add your proxy URL in setup.
Continuous background health checks ensure every supported streaming hoster remains operational. Broken extractors are flagged instantly.
A clean, extensible architecture designed for maintainability and scale.
Scrape streaming sites to discover embed URLs for any movie or series across 35+ languages.
Parse embed pages to extract direct .mp4 and HLS stream URLs from 24 supported hosters.
Orchestrates sources → extractors, deduplicates results, sorts by quality, and manages fallback chains.
Dual-layer caching with in-memory LRU, persistent SQLite, and optional Redis for distributed setups.
Self-host Hydra on any machine — x86, ARM, Raspberry Pi. It just works.
