How to prevent other addons from overwriting my metadata

Open vladikdx opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Hi! I'm currently building a Stremio addon that provides its own catalogs and custom metadata.

However, I've noticed that when I install other streaming addons like "Torrentio" my metadata (such as summary, images, trailers, genres, etc.) gets immediately overwritten in the UI, even though my addon is returning full and valid meta responses.

Is there any way to prevent other addons from overriding my metadata, or to give priority to the metadata returned by my addon?

I'm looking for a way to keep my own meta visible while still allowing stream providers like Torrentio to function for playback.

I don't think Torrentio is overwriting your metadata, it should only provide streams. It's more likely that Cinemeta is the one responsible. The only way I know how to do what you say is by reordering the addons (your addon should appear first in your Installed addons list)
