Hosted Harbor: the Harbor web player, a rich, modern Stremio client that runs right in your browser, kept online for you on ElfHosted.

Early Access

Harbor is newly hosted on ElfHosted, in collaboration with its maintainer, and is considered beta. It runs, we host it, and your trial lets you try it before you commit, but it is a fast-moving project and our support cover is still growing. Expect some rough edges, lean on the Harbor community, and share what you find in Discord.

What is Harbor?

Harbor is a custom client for the Stremio ecosystem, and this product is the Harbor web player, the single-page app you actually watch in, a polished front end for browsing and streaming everything your addons surface. A rotating hero, Continue Watching, and full-width rails greet you on launch, and it works with Cinemeta out of the box, richer still with a free TMDB key.

Key Features

• Native player, in your browser: A fast, built-in video player with picture-in-picture, so you can keep watching while you browse.
• Stream ranking engine: Harbor ranks and sorts the available streams for you, so the best result rises to the top.
• Rich metadata: Wikidata and TMDB integration for deep, accurate details about what you are watching.
• Watch parties: Watch together, in sync, with friends.
• Anime support: First-class handling for anime libraries and tracking.
• Theme engine: Make Harbor look the way you want it to.
• Synced across devices: Your settings and watch progress follow you.

Prefer it set up for you?

Everything here is documented, and the Discord community is free and generous with its time. Most people are running inside an evening. If you would rather skip straight to the part where it works, the VIP "White-Glove" Onboarding Experience add-on (purchased separately) hands the job to us.

You get a temporary private Discord channel with an ElfHosted expert. They will ask what you want from your instance, configure the apps to your preferences, connect them to any accounts you already hold, and close the channel once it is working. You do not need to arrive with a plan, and the configuration is yours to keep.

To get started, purchase the add-on, then open a VIP support ticket in #elf-help quoting your order number, and an ElfHosted expert will pick it up from there.

It is a one-time session, not a subscription and not ongoing support. It covers setup of software you are already subscribed to, which is to say nothing you could not have done yourself with the documentation and a free afternoon.
