## Description

Stremio Web is a web-based media streaming client and content aggregator. It functions as a single page application that allows users to discover and play video content directly within a browser.

The system relies on community addon integration to fetch media metadata and streaming links from external HTTP plugins using a standardized JSON format. This allows users to organize video content from various remote sources and providers into a unified library interface.

The application communicates with backend services through a JSON-RPC interface to manage data retrieval and playback control. It utilizes a browser-based video player to render media streams from remote URLs.
