MyStremio Spatial Audio Fork is a Windows desktop app for streaming and organizing video content, built as a modified version of a project called MyStremio, which is itself a fork of the open source Stremio media client. This particular fork adds spatial audio playback on top of the usual streaming features. Instead of using Electron like many desktop apps, the client runs on a Rust based shell paired with WebView2, which handles the application window, a local Stremio server, native player communication, settings, and Discord Rich Presence. It bundles its own patched copy of the Stremio Web interface so extra features, like a rotating featured titles banner on the home screen, can be built directly into it. Small JavaScript files loaded at runtime add further touches such as visual styling, seek controls, player overlays, plugin support, and metadata panels. Video and audio playback is handled by a custom build of the MPV media player that supports a technology called Omniphony for spatial audio, including binaural sound over headphones and, when set up, head tracked listening. A separate companion app called Omniphony Studio lets you configure things like room size, listener position, and audio normalization for that renderer. For TIDAL users, a local bridge service can detect a Dolby Atmos enabled track, request the matching audio stream, and hand it off to the custom MPV player, falling back to normal TIDAL playback when no Atmos version is available. Other additions over standard Stremio include hover cards with plot and cast details while browsing, a cleaner sidebar for managing stream sources from various addons, custom library groups you can import and export as JSON files, theme and plugin support, and both installer and portable release options. Its settings and data are stored separately from a normal Stremio install so the two do not conflict. The project is released under the MIT license and is not affiliated with Stremio, TIDAL, Dolby, or Omniphony.
