This is a guide that someone on Reddit wrote and it helped me a lot. It looks complicated with the first glance, but when you do the steps it takes less than 15 minutes. I changed the order of the original slightly and added a few infos to make it easier:
"Guide installing Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debird on your desktop.
Stremio
Go to https://www.stremio.com/
Download the relevant client for your platform (Windows/Mac/Linux)
Open Stremio and sign up with email or facebook
Real Debird
Go to https://real-debrid.com/
Sign up
Go to Premium Offers ($3 for one month, $16 for 6 months)
Choose a package and subscribe
Torrentio
Go to https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure
Choose your options for providers, quality, foreign language etc
You can now choose to install Torrentio without a Debid Provider. Personally I use Real Debrid to connect directly to a server vs having my IP shared in peer to peer and to speed up performance. Torrentio has a slot for a possible API key (the Real Debrid key)
To install with Real Debrid follow the next steps:
Go to the API key with this link: https://real-debrid.com/apitoken
Copy the API Key and go back to Torrentio and paste it under RealDebird API Key
Install
Stremio with Torrentio installed
Check the addon installed correctly
Click the puzzle piece up on the top right that says ‘Show All Addons’
Click My Addons and scroll until you see Torrentio
Test stream a movie or TV show
Go to Discover
Click on a Movie or TV show and click ‘Show’
You should now see [RB+] Torrentio - Quality
Enjoy streaming"
I think it depends which one you take, how open they are for external software. But with Firesticks or cubes you can do 100%. With others it might be worth googling beforehand, if Stremio can be installed on that specific tv box you choose. On those boxes you just need Stremio as an app. The app on your box then syncs with the settings and addons you have in the desktop version, so no hassle.
I found out the hard way those boxes have an expiration date. The manufacturers don’t really bother to get the custom boards updated to newer versions of android, so its quite a headache to keep them operational. Theres forums that do custom firmware for them, but ymmv depending on what box you get.

Can you also use alldebrid with this?
If I buy one of those Android TV boxes off Amazon, can I install all this stuff on it?

Yeah, for safety and convence, the best way is still casting from a computer.
I have bought two of them that have both been rendered useless due to lack of updates.
