Building on Windows

🚀 Quick Overview

This guide walks you through the process of building Stremio on Windows. Follow the steps carefully to set up the environment, build dependencies, and compile the project.

🛠️ Requirements

Ensure the following are installed on your system:

📂 Setup Guide

1️⃣ Install Essential Tools

2️⃣ Build Qt (6.8.1)

  1. Download Qt Online installer here. Sadly a Qt Account must be created just for the download.

  2. Run the installer and login

  3. Select Qt > Qt 6.8.1 and Extensions > Qt WebEngine > Qt 6.8.1

⏳ Note: You can as well only select the needed modules which are qt5-webview qt5-websockets qt5-webglplugin qt5-webengine qt5-webchannel qt5-tools qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2 qt5-quickcontrols and MSVC 2020

3️⃣ Prepare the MPV Library

  • Download the MPV library: MPV libmpv.
  • Use the mpv-dev-i686 version.

⏳ Note: The submodule https://github.com/Zaarrg/libmpv already includes .lib, just make sure to unzip the actual .dll for x64 systems.

4️⃣ Clone and Configure the Repository

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone --recursive git@github.com:Zaarrg/stremio-desktop-v5.git
cd stremio-shell

  2. Update system Envs:

    set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64
set Qt6_DIR=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64/lib/cmake/Qt6
set PATH=C:/Qt/6.8.1/msvc2022_64/bin;C:/Program Files/OpenSSL-Win64/bin;%PATH%

  3. Download the server.js file:

    powershell -Command Start-BitsTransfer -Source "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/stremio-artifacts/four/v%package_version%/server.js" -Destination server.js

5️⃣ Build the Shell

  1. Make sure to run the following in the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022

⏳ Note: Make sure to set the Envs from step 4.2

  1. Generate the build files:

    cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

  2. Compile:

    cmake --build .

  3. Build distributable

    build_windows.bat {cmake-build-folder} {openssl-bin}

build_windows.bat cmake-build-release "C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin"

⏳ Note: This will create dist-win with all necessary files like node.exe, ffmpeg.exe. Also make sure to have node.exe, stremio-runtime.exe, server.js are in utils\windows\ folder

📦 Installer (Optional)

  1. Download and install NSIS.
    Default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS.

  2. Generate the installer:

     FOR /F "tokens=4 delims=() " %i IN ('findstr /C:"project(stremio VERSION" CMakeLists.txt') DO @set "package_version=%~i"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\makensis.exe" utils\windows\installer\windows-installer.nsi
    • Result: Stremio %package_version%.exe.

🔧 Silent Installation

Run the installer with /S (silent mode) and configure via these options:

  • /notorrentassoc: Skip .torrent association.
  • /nodesktopicon: Skip desktop shortcut.

Silent uninstall:

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\LNV\Stremio-4\Uninstall.exe" /S /keepdata

✨ Happy Building!
