πŸ§™ Cauldron β€” Open-source torrent & debrid Stremio addon (v0.0.5)

Addon Announcement

I've been building Cauldron, an open-source torrent aggregation engine and Stremio addon, and I've just released v0.0.5.

The idea is pretty simple: aggregate results from multiple torrent sources, validate them against the actual movie/show being requested, optionally check cache status, and resolve them through your debrid provider.

What it currently supports

  • πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ The Pirate Bay
  • πŸ” 1337x
  • 🎌 Nyaa
  • 🎬 YTS
  • πŸ“Ί EZTV
  • πŸ”Ž Bitsearch
  • ⚑ Torrin search
  • πŸ§™ Zilean (optional/self-hosted)
  • βœ…Real-Debrid (cache status pending)
  • βœ…AllDebrid (cache status pending)
  • βœ…Premiumize
  • βœ…TorBox
  • βœ…Torrin

Some of the recent work

v0.0.5 includes quite a few changes under the hood:

  • Much stricter movie/series title matching
  • Season/episode validation
  • Result deduplication by info hash
  • Seed-based duplicate selection
  • Configurable result ranking
  • Cache-aware sorting
  • Torrin integration
  • Optional Zilean integration
  • Concurrent searching across sources
  • Redis caching with in-memory fallback
  • Stremio addon + REST API
  • Docker/Compose deployment

One of the things I was particularly trying to solve was bad torrent matches. Public indexes can return some hilariously unrelated results when searching short/common titles, so Cauldron now performs an additional validation pass before results reach Stremio.

Try the public instance

Cauldron:
https://cauldron.forthewizards.uk

You can install it directly in Stremio using the instance's generated configuration URL.

It's still very much a work in progress, so bug reports, suggestions, and especially testing/feedback are welcome.

If you run into something weird, let me know what you searched for and what Cauldron returned β€” I'm actively working on improving the filtering and ranking.

EDIT**** I want to emphasize that this a work in progress, is a brand new addon, and you WILL encounter bugs. Please let if you encounter any bugs :)
