XRDB | eXtended Ratings DataBase

Live Ratings.
Stateless delivery.

Workspace

Configurator & Proxy

Tune layout, ratings, badges, and language once, then export a shareable config string or generate a proxy manifest from the same state. Saved workspace values stay in this browser until you copy or export them.

Setup Mode

Simple View

Simple keeps the high signal controls in front of you. Presets, keys, media targeting, and the most visible artwork switches stay easy to reach.

Not sure what to pick?

The guide recommends a preset based on deployment, density, and how much manual tuning you expect to do afterwards.

Wizard Summary
Custom
No preset applied yet

Apply a preset to get a curated starting point, then keep tuning from there.

Workspace

Save the shared XRDB settings plus proxy manifest setup to this browser, or export them as a JSON file.

Saved workspace values only affect this page. Share the config string or the generated proxy manifest if you want the same settings somewhere else.

Access Keys

Optional. Only needed when the XRDB host enables request protection. When present, the configurator carries it into previews, config strings, proxy manifests, and exported URL patterns.

Soft is recommended for compatibility. Switch to Strict if you sometimes see incorrect logo or backdrop artwork from TMDB ID collisions.

Optional. Recommended. Your key is used first. If left blank, XRDB falls back to the service key when one exists. This helps if the shared service key is rate limited or blocked later.

Use this when another tool expects one XRDB config field. The settings travel inside this string, not inside your saved workspace by itself.

These presets keep background and logo on type aware TMDB IDs. Poster follows the selected poster mode. Episode thumbs follow the selected episode mode and carry their own thumbnail rating order.

Poster ID source

Determines which database ID to include in poster URLs. Most users should leave this on auto for the broadest poster coverage.

Episode ID source

Pick the episode ID family that matches the source best. XRDBID provides stronger canonical mapping for difficult episodic cases.

Thumbnail Ratings

Episode thumbs only support TMDB and IMDb today.

Preset mapping

Poster: tmdb:{type}:{tmdb_id}

Background: tmdb:{type}:{tmdb_id}

Logo: tmdb:{type}:{tmdb_id}

Episode thumb: {imdb_id}, {season}, {episode}

Thumbnail ratings: tmdb,imdb

XRDB settings

Use the configurator for keys, language, ratings, layout, badges, and text.

A plain addon manifest URL will not apply the settings configured here by itself. Use the generated XRDB proxy manifest below if those settings should drive addon artwork.

Export

Generated Manifest

Use this URL in Stremio. It ends with manifest.json and has no query params.

https://xrdb.example.com/proxy/{config}/manifest.json
Open

Add manifest URL, TMDB key and MDBList key to generate a valid link.

Route addon artwork through XRDB
Proxy routes `meta.poster`, `meta.background`, and `meta.logo` through XRDB for both `catalog` and `meta` responses using the active configurator settings above.
