⚠️ ADDON STATUS DISCLAIMER
Current Addon Status: 🟢 WORKING (Verified August 2026)
Important Note: Duck Streams is a community-developed Stremio addon that acts as a pre-configured version of AIOStreams. It requires a Debrid service (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, Premiumize, or TorBox) to function properly. Some users have reported intermittent issues with specific providers (particularly TorBox) in recent months.
⚠️ If Duck Streams is not working for you, consider these verified alternatives:
- AIOStreams — The original “meta-addon” that Duck Streams is based on
- Torrentio — Most popular standalone scraper addon
- Comet — Lightweight backup addon for debrid users
- MediaFusion — Flexible all-in-one with live TV support
- Sootio — Intelligent multi-source streaming engine
🔒 Privacy Warning: Duck Streams is an unverified community addon. Your IP address is exposed when using it. A VPN is strongly recommended for privacy and security.

- Pre-optimized results — The “Formatter” prioritizes the best quality links
- Built-in addons — Includes Comet, Debridio, MediaFusion, and more
- Minimal maintenance — “Set it and forget it” approach
- May be the only addon you need for Video on Demand content
How It Works
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| QuickStart | Web-based setup wizard that configures and installs the addon |
| AIOStreams Core | Queries multiple scrapers in parallel, deduplicates results |
| Debrid Integration | Uses your debrid API key to fetch cached, high-quality streams |
| Formatter | Filters and sorts results to show the best available links first |

| Bandwidth throttling | ISP may throttle streaming | ISP cannot throttle what it can’t see |
| Geo-restrictions | Content may be region-blocked | Access content from other regions |
Best Practices
- Always use a VPN when using community addons

- Only configure via official QuickStart URL —
