⚠️ Addon Status Disclaimer

Current Addon Status: 🟢 WORKING

Last Verified: August 5, 2026

Important Note: Comet is a third-party Stremio addon that scrapes torrent providers and integrates with Debrid services to serve up media links. It is not officially affiliated with Stremio.

🔒 Privacy Warning: If you choose to use Torrent (P2P) sources instead of a Debrid service, your IP address will be exposed in the torrent swarm. A VPN is absolutely required if you enable P2P streaming.

🔄 If Comet is temporarily down or slow, consider these alternatives:

• AIOStreams – The #1 recommended Stremio addon; aggregates 80+ addons into one unified results list
• MediaFusion – Strong secondary option with excellent regional content coverage
• Torrentio – The most widely used Stremio addon worldwide

What Is Comet Stremio Addon?

Comet is a lightweight, high-performance Stremio addon that differentiates itself from other addons with its superpower: Proxy Streaming. It uses torrent providers or your preferred Debrid service (Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox, and more) to serve up cached media links.

🎯 Who Is It For?

Comet is designed for Stremio users who want:

• A fast, lightweight backup addon when AIOStreams or MediaFusion don’t return what you want
• The ability to share a single Debrid account across multiple devices and IP addresses simultaneously
• A simple, no-fuss configuration experience

⚡ Key Value Proposition

The #1 reason thousands love Comet: Users can “share” this addon across numerous apps and devices with just one Debrid account.

Normally, Debrid services like Real-Debrid restrict you to one IP address at a time. Comet’s built-in Proxy Streaming feature routes all streams through a single proxy IP, allowing you to stream Debrid links with multiple IP addresses simultaneously on the same account.

📌 Important Note on Proxy Streaming: The advanced Proxy Streaming functionality (environment variables like PROXY_DEBRID_STREAM=true) typically requires a self-hosted instance or ElfHosted paid tier. The free public instance focuses primarily on standard high-speed scraping and caching, providing excellent performance without the multi-IP sharing feature.

📥 Installation Tutorial: Comet Stremio Addon

Part 1: Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

1. Stremio installed on your device(s). Download from the official Stremio website if you haven’t already.
2. A Debrid service account (Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, Premiumize, or TorBox) – strongly recommended for the best experience.
3. Your Debrid API Key – found in your Debrid account dashboard.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you do NOT have a Debrid service, you can select “Torrent Sources” during configuration. However, you MUST have a VPN enabled if you choose this option, as your IP address will be exposed in the torrent swarm.

Part 2: Configure & Install Comet

Step 1: Open the Configuration Page
On your PC, Android device, or iOS device, open your preferred browser and visit the official configuration page:

comet.elfhosted.com/configure

Step 2: Select Your Languages

• Choose your preferred language(s) for content.
• Select languages you want to exclude from results.

Step 3: Configure Resolution & File Settings

• Select the resolutions you want to display (e.g., 1080p, 4K).
• Set Max Results per Resolution – we suggest 5.
• Set Max size of files – we suggest 10 GB.

Step 4: Add Your Debrid Service

• Choose your Debrid service from the dropdown (Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox, etc.).
• Enter your API Key for authorization.

Note: If you don’t have a Debrid service, select “Torrent Sources” instead – but remember to enable your VPN first.

Step 5: Adjust Advanced Settings (Optional)
You can fine-tune additional options such as:

• Cached only – only show already-cached streams.
• Remove trash – filter out low-quality or spam results.
• CometNet – enable collaborative metadata sharing.

Step 6: Install the Addon

• Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Install Comet Stremio Addon”.
• When prompted, click “Open” to launch Stremio.
• In Stremio, click “Install” to confirm.
• You’ll see a “Comet Stremio Addon Installed” confirmation message.

Part 3: Post-Installation

Once installed, Comet syncs across all your Stremio devices. If you open Stremio on any other device (Firestick, Android TV, etc.), the addon will already be available – no reconfiguration needed.

📱 Cross-Device Setup: Install Comet on Firestick Without a Browser

If you configured Comet on your PC or phone but want to install it on a Firestick or Android TV (where browsers are clunky), the “Open” button won’t work across devices.

Here’s the workaround:

1. On your PC/phone, go to comet.elfhosted.com/configure and configure your settings as described above.
2. Right-click (or long-press on mobile) the “Install Comet Stremio Addon” button.
3. Select “Copy Link Address” or “Copy Link” – this copies the manifest URL (it looks like https://comet.elfhosted.com/.../manifest.json).
4. On your Firestick/Android TV, open the Stremio app.
5. Click the puzzle icon (Addons) in the left sidebar.
6. Click the “+” (Add Addon) button at the top.
7. Paste the manifest URL into the input field and click “Add”.

The addon will install directly on your Firestick/Android TV without requiring a browser.

🎮 Post-Installation UI/UX Walkthrough

Once Comet is installed, here’s what you can expect:

• Search Results: When you search for a movie or TV show, Comet will appear as a source provider alongside other installed addons.
• Stream List: Comet returns scraped results with clear labels indicating resolution, file size, and source.
• Cached Indicator: Streams already cached on your Debrid service are clearly marked, ensuring fast, buffer-free playback.
• Multiple Links: Comet provides multiple stream options for each title. If one fails, try another.
• CometNet Collaboration: If enabled, your Comet instance shares metadata with other instances in the network, improving discovery for everyone.

🧰 Troubleshooting: Common Comet Errors

❓ Comet shows “Loading” or “Comet/RD loading” and never loads

Solution: This is often a temporary maintenance or rate-limiting issue. Try:

1. Back out of the movie/show and go back in – this often forces Comet to reload.
2. Wait a few hours and try again – the issue may resolve itself.
3. Force close Stremio, clear the app cache, and reboot your device.
   

❓ No streams appear from Comet

Solution:

1. Verify your Debrid API Key is correctly entered in the configuration.
2. Ensure you have an active Debrid subscription.
3. Check that you haven’t set the “Max file size” too low – try increasing it to 10-20 GB.
4. If using “Cached only,” some older or niche content may not be cached – try disabling this option.
   

❓ Comet streams open very slowly

Solution:

1. Comet queries a smaller set of sources than meta-addons, which can sometimes result in slower responses.
2. Try reducing the number of enabled indexers in the configuration.
3. Consider using Comet as a backup addon rather than your primary – AIOStreams or Torrentio are often faster for common content.
   

❓ “Cannot filter Comet status messages” error

Solution: This is a known interaction issue between Comet and AIOStreams. Try:

1. Updating both addons to the latest versions.
2. Adjusting filter settings in AIOStreams to properly handle Comet’s status messages.
   

❓ Error message about needing Elementum to play

Solution: Some Comet streams may trigger this error. Try:

1. Selecting a different stream link from the list.
2. Ensuring your Debrid service is properly linked.
3. Using an external player like VLC or Nova Player.
   

❓ Addon won’t install – “All addons must be HTTPS”

Solution: Stremio requires all addons to be served over HTTPS. Ensure you’re using the official configuration URL: comet.elfhosted.com/configure.

❓ Proxy Streaming doesn’t work on the free public instance

Solution: The advanced Proxy Streaming feature (multi-IP sharing) requires environment variables like PROXY_DEBRID_STREAM=true. These are only available on self-hosted instances or ElfHosted premium tier ($9/month). The free public instance focuses on standard high-speed scraping and caching without multi-IP sharing. If you need Proxy Streaming, consider self-hosting or subscribing to ElfHosted Premium.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the latest Comet version?

The latest version is v2.53.0 as of August 2026. The addon is actively maintained with regular updates.

Is Comet free to use?

Yes – there is a free public instance available at comet.elfhosted.com/configure. ElfHosted also offers premium hosted instances starting at $9/month with higher rate limits and 4K proxy streaming.

Which Debrid services does Comet support?

Comet supports Real-Debrid, All-Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox, Debrid-Link, Debrider, EasyDebrid, OffCloud, and PikPak.

Can I use Comet without a Debrid service?

Yes – you can select “Torrent Sources” instead of a Debrid service. However, you MUST use a VPN, as your IP address will be exposed in the torrent swarm.

How does Proxy Streaming work?

Proxy Streaming routes all Debrid stream requests through a single proxy IP. This allows you to use one Debrid account across multiple IP addresses simultaneously without triggering IP-based restrictions. To enable it, you need to set two environment variables: PROXY_DEBRID_STREAM=true and a custom password. This feature requires a self-hosted instance or ElfHosted premium tier – it is not available on the free public instance.

What is CometNet?

CometNet is a collaborative metadata-sharing network. Instead of each Comet instance independently discovering the same torrents, CometNet allows instances to share discovered metadata (hashes, titles, etc.) in a decentralized way. No actual files are shared – only metadata.

How do I update Comet?

Comet updates are managed through the ElfHosted instance. For the free public instance, updates are applied automatically. For self-hosted instances, pull the latest Docker image or update from the GitHub repository.

Can I add custom indexers to Comet?

Yes – Comet supports adding custom indexers via Jackett or Prowlarr. This is available for self-hosted or premium ElfHosted instances.

💎 Summary: Comet vs. Alternatives

Addon	Best For	Key Feature
Comet	Lightweight backup + multi-IP sharing	Proxy Streaming for Debrid sharing (self-hosted/premium only)
AIOStreams	All-in-one solution	Aggregates 80+ addons
MediaFusion	Regional content	Strong non-English coverage
Torrentio	Most widely used	Broadest content coverage

ElfHosted’s official recommendation for 2026 is: AIOStreams as primary, MediaFusion as secondary, and Comet as lightweight backup.

---

🔒 Safety & Legal Notice

1. Use a VPN – If you enable P2P/Torrent sources, your IP address is exposed. Even with Debrid, a VPN adds an extra layer of privacy.
2. Debrid Terms of Service – Proxy Streaming may violate some Debrid providers’ terms regarding multi-IP usage. Use at your own risk.
3. Content Legality – Comet is a search tool. The legality of content accessed depends on your local copyright laws.
4. Download from Trusted Sources – Only use the official configuration URL: comet.elfhosted.com/configure.

✅ Conclusion

Comet has firmly established itself as one of the most valuable additions to the Stremio ecosystem, earning its reputation as a lightweight, high-performance addon that excels in scenarios where other addons fall short.

Why Comet Deserves a Spot in Your Stremio Setup

For most users, the ideal Stremio configuration looks like this:

• AIOStreams as your primary, all-in-one solution
• MediaFusion as your secondary for regional content coverage
• Comet as your lightweight backup for quick, reliable results when you need them

But Comet shines brightest in two specific use cases:

1. The Multi-IP Debrid Sharer – If you want to share a single Debrid account across multiple devices and IP addresses (family members, different rooms, etc.), Comet’s Proxy Streaming capability makes this possible. Just remember: this advanced feature requires a self-hosted instance or ElfHosted premium tier.
2. The Speed-Seeker – When you need a fast, no-fuss addon that doesn’t overcomplicate things, Comet delivers results quickly with minimal configuration.

Key Takeaways

• ✅ Installation is quick – configure in minutes at comet.elfhosted.com/configure
• ✅ Use with a Debrid service – for the best experience, pair Comet with Real-Debrid or another supported service
• ✅ Remember the backup – use Comet when AIOStreams or MediaFusion are slow or down
• ✅ Stay safe – always use a VPN when streaming, especially if you enable Torrent sources

Final Thought

Whether you’re a seasoned Stremio veteran or just getting started, Comet is a worthy addition to your addon collection. Its lightweight design, Proxy Streaming superpower, and active development make it a reliable tool that will serve you well for years to come.
