Stremio Add-on Server / Client

#### Enabling an add-on in Stremio

To enable the add-on in Stremio, you can do one of two things:

1. Open the add-on's endpoint in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:5005) and click on "activate in Stremio"
2. Start Stremio (Stremio.exe or Contents/MacOS/Electron) with ``--service=http://localhost:5005`` argument

In both cases, you should make sure the add-on is activated in the panel.

You should check out ``test/addon-protocol`` to see how an add-on should respond to methods, and run it to check if it's up to standards. 

**WARNING: This is work in progress, more documentation and an open-source client coming**
