Flatpak sandboxing breaks some addons #2526

Linux (Beta)

Describe the bug

When using certain catalog addons, they will not appear on the Linux flatpak. They do however work on Android and the web app without an issue. After talking with the dev one said addon for the last few weeks, it seems that the issue relates to Stremio's flatpak itself as no other platform has an issue. The issue seems to be that the strict URL sandboxing is preventing addons from being able to load needed data in order to display in the catalog.

To Reproduce

  • Install Stremio as a flatpak on any Linux distro
  • install a problematic addon (i.e. Kitsu Tracker)
  • configure the addon
  • open your home screen in both the linux flatpak and the web.stremio.com site and compare the two.
  • flatpak will not have Kitsu Tracker's catalog, but the web will

Expected behavior

Stremio flatpak should display the same installed catalogs as the web and android versions
