What is pezzottio?

Pezzottio is an addon for Stremio, the streaming media player that lets you add third-party sources through a plugin system. This addon bundles together streams from over 30 sources, integrated content catalogs, anime support, multi-profile management, and debrid service integration into a single installation. The primary audience is Italian-speaking users who want to watch Italian-dubbed or Italian-subtitled content, though the addon also has an English-language configuration. The main problem it addresses is that most Italian Stremio addons require you to set up and host your own server, typically a VPS or a Raspberry Pi running a piece of software called MediaFlowProxy, to handle video authentication and stream proxying. Without that server, video streams break after a few minutes. Pezzottio runs that proxy on its own public backend, so you paste one URL into Stremio and you are done. No Docker, no VPS, no ongoing maintenance on your end. For content, it pulls from torrent indexers and Italian streaming sites including StreamingCommunity, AnimeWorld, AnimeSaturn, and others. When you open an episode, all available streams are merged into one list, ranked by whether they are already cached in a debrid service (meaning near-instant playback), then by video quality, then by language preference. Supported debrid services are TorBox and Real-Debrid, both are optional paid services that store torrents on their own servers so your video starts immediately rather than waiting for a download. Anime gets special handling: the addon resolves titles across Kitsu, MAL, AniList, and AniDB, handles absolute episode numbering (so a long-running series episode number maps to the right season and episode), and filters out spinoffs and movie entries when you are looking for the main series. Season packs in torrents are handled automatically, picking the right file when you select a specific episode. The configuration page lets you create multiple profiles, each with its own addon URL, so you can have separate setups for different household members or content types without logging into anything. Stream URLs are signed and short-lived, and the project logs no user data or analytics.
