Love the work on Stremio! I use it mostly with Infuse as an external player.
Problem
The problem, at least on iOS, is that metadata is not passed to Infuse, and the URL passed to the external player is in my experience the filename. While sensible, these filenames are often not very informative, in particular for series, where it is often just the episode number. This causes Infuse to assume the video playing is something else entirely, for example with filename 0 it will assume it is Jujutsu Kaisen 0. This does not just cause problems with library management, it also causes problems with automatically loading external subtitles, Trakt scrobbling, etc.
Solution
If possible, adding an option to pass the metadata information in the external player URL would be a relatively minor change but a huge quality of life improvement for me and probably many other users. This would allow the players to infer the correct metadata.
Implementation
The solution might be implemented as overriding the URL passed to external players if the filename is a number or less than four characters in length, instead replacing it with either the title in the case of a movie, or the series name plus season and episode number in the case of a series.
Hope this can be considered!
