# Addons Overview

> Streamly streaming addons — Discover vs plugin-owned sources, Catalog → Sources, TMDB embeds, and when to use each pack.

**Addons** are **streaming sources**. Each pack page explains how playback resolves and how to set it up. Video plugin pages (and matching addons) include a YouTube overview of the vendor where available.

Plugins (payments, storage, ads, email, video APIs) are separate — [Plugins Overview](/plugins/overview).

## How sources reach the player

| Path | What you do | Result |
| - | - | - |
| **Discover packs** | Install in `/admin/streaming-providers` | Source available on titles |
| **Plugin-owned** | Enable Mux / Bunny / CF Stream / VdoCipher plugin | Source unlocked (hidden from Discover) |
| **Attach** | Catalog title → **Sources** | Paste ID or use TMDB embed |
| **Play** | Viewer opens the title | Player resolves HLS / embed / OTP |

## Discoverable — Demo, Vimeo & Live

| Addon | ID | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| [Demo HLS](/addons/demo-hls) | `addon.demo-hls` | Clean native HLS test stream |
| [Vimeo](/addons/vimeo) | `addon.vimeo` | Addon-only managed source |
| [OpenAir](/addons/openair) | `addon.openair` | Needs [Live TV](/plugins/live-tv) |

## Discoverable — TMDB embeds

| Addon | ID | Host |
| - | - | - |
| [VidSrc](/addons/vidsrc) | `addon.vidsrc` | vsembed / vidsrc |
| [Videasy](/addons/videasy) | `addon.videasy` | videasy.net |
| [VidLink](/addons/vidlink) | `addon.vidlink` | vidlink.pro |
| [VidFast](/addons/vidfast) | `addon.vidfast` | vidfast.pro |
| [VidRock](/addons/vidrock) | `addon.vidrock` | vidrock.net |
| [VidZee](/addons/vidzee) | `addon.vidzee` | vidzee.wtf |
| [VidNest](/addons/vidnest) | `addon.vidnest` | vidnest.fun |
| [VidStorm](/addons/vidstorm) | `addon.vidstorm` | vidstorm.ru |

<Warning>
  Free TMDB embed hosts often inject **their own ads**. Prefer managed CDN / DRM plugins for production. Legal content rights still required.
</Warning>

## Plugin-owned managed sources

| Source | Unlock via | Paste |
| - | - | - |
| [Mux](/addons/mux) | [Mux API](/plugins/mux) | Playback ID |
| [Bunny Stream](/addons/bunny-stream) | [Bunny Stream API](/plugins/bunny-stream) | Video GUID |
| [Cloudflare Stream](/addons/cloudflare-stream) | [Cloudflare Stream API](/plugins/cloudflare-stream) | Video UID |
| [VdoCipher](/addons/vdocipher) | [VdoCipher API](/plugins/vdocipher) | Video id |

Upload at the **vendor**, then paste IDs under Catalog → Sources. Hidden from Addons Discover on purpose.

## Choosing a strategy

| Goal | Path |
| - | - |
| Verify player | [Demo HLS](/addons/demo-hls) |
| Production VOD | Mux / Bunny / Cloudflare Stream plugins |
| DRM / OTP | [VdoCipher](/plugins/vdocipher) |
| Vimeo library | [Vimeo](/addons/vimeo) |
| Free live pack | [Live TV](/plugins/live-tv) + [OpenAir](/addons/openair) |
