What else is the “remote HTTPS connection”? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

If I remember correctly they added this feature right around the time they announced Stremio Web (basically their web interface/web-app).
The web-app was mainly intended for devices that cannot download the fully fledged app (coughIOS…cough). I think this “remote HTTPS connection” is related to that: You basically have the fully fledged Stremio app on one device, the limited web-app on another device, and use this remote server setting to give the web-app all the missing features as long as you have the fully fledged Stremio app running on one device. Never got it to work though.
Maybe this helps:
If you want to “share” you stream to friends, you could also look into the Peario add-on. They don’t need to have Stremio installed, share the Peario link, press ready and you’re done. Didn’t manage to get subtitles working though.
Edit: correction about Peario.

Yes you can and its super easy. Setup your conection through HTTPS block your port only locally, buy a 1$ domain and install cloudflared tunnel. (Cloudflare configures your own TLS.)
You should disable the instance, or try to modify some parameters so you have to connect via some login or password.

I don’t use Streamio, but I’d be really surprised if that wasn’t what that was for. Other software I’ve used (though not for media) has the same option, and that’s exactly what it does.
I see, so im not crazy, probably. But any idea what I should enter in the “Override the streaming server URL”? My internal ip / external ip ? Or is that something separate? (I actually think this is where the native player gets its stream from, so 127.0.0.1.)

I’m not sure. Do they have documentation or a wiki anywhere?

Your current setting is the “loopback” address. You’re listening for traffic to this address, and the only thing that can send to the loopback is yourself. This is a safe default, it means only the computer running the software can talk to it. Generally 0.0.0.0 listens on all available addresses. If that doesn’t work, use your local / internal ip.
This ui smells like it’s trying to hide the implementation details, but that makes things extremely difficult when troubleshooting
according to some guide, this is what the UI should look like: https://www.cloudwards.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/stremio-https-connections.webp

Yeah it feels like im missing something or have something improperly configured. But no clue what that could be… It seems there is a bit of an automatic assessment involved (see the green check point symbol) before it hands out the URL “Streaming endpoint”.
