Bug Description / Steps to Reproduce

I am using a self-hosted instance. When attempting to install the addon from the configuration page if you chose the "Stremio" installation option to automatically install in Stremio it will fail and show: "Failed to get addon manifest from [URL]" at the top and at the bottom it shows: "Failed to fetch: Unexpected HTTP status code 404". I have been noticing this issue for at least the past 3-4 versions.

P.S. If I click on the installation option "Copy" and manually paste the URL into Stremio via the "+ Add addon" button in Stremio it installs normally so that is a work around. I just wanted to inform you of the other installation option isn't working in case you weren't aware.

Expected Behavior

I expected to be able to click on the "Stremio" button during installation and it automatically load the configuration into Stremio for installation.

• If applicable, I have included MediaFlow logs

1. Is SECRET_KEY set?
2. Does this happen for every configuration? e.g. if you just enable Torrentio, does it work?
3. Are there any errors in the server logs?

If it does happen when just enabling Torrentio, send the full URL here.

If it doesn't, tell me what configuration the error happens with. (as in, if you enabled RD, what addons you enabled etc.)

Please forgive my vast ignorance. I don't know anything about coding or software development, but am trying to learn what I can.

1. If you are asking if I have a secret key set on my HF instance, the answer is: No.
2. Yes, I still have the same error even when only attempting an installation in which Torrentio is the only addon enabled.
3. Are you asking about the logs of my HF hosted instance? If so, I'm not seeing any.

This is what shows up in Stremio when attempting installation:

P.S. Again I have no idea what I am doing and apologize if I am not giving you the information that you are requesting.

[Viren070]

Don't worry, you've given me the information I need for now.

I don't think this is an addon issue. AIOStreams will correctly encode the URL as it has some special characters within the URL, but during the installation, it gets decoded and this causes issues as it messes up the URL which AIOStreams can't recognise - AIOStreams expects the encoded version, but Stremio is making a request to the decoded version.

For me, installing to Stremio doesn't work with the current beta (as in, it won't even initiate the install), but using the community edition, I can reproduce the error you are getting.

I will have a closer look at it later, for now the workaround can be used.

[TwiztidJuggla420]

Sorry. I also probably should have mentioned that I am using the follow version of Stremio: https://github.com/Zaarrg/stremio-desktop-v5
His repository is showing 5.0.17, but my app has updated and is showing 5.0.0-beta.18.12.

[Viren070]

Yeah, it works on Stremio 4 on Windows. Just not on the community edition.

And I'm unsure if it works on the official Stremio 5 beta, as installing to Stremio automatically doesn't seem to work, at least not for me.
