If you are setting up AniBridge for TV/series automation, S.to (SerienStream) is one of the supported providers.

Quick User Summary

S.to is the short-domain branding of SerienStream and is widely used as a German-language TV/series index.

Background And History

• 19 Jan 2015 – The project launches under the domain SerienStream.to, offering a dedicated index for TV series to separate itself from movie-focused portals. Wikipedia (DE)
• 22 Mar 2018 – The primary domain is switched to the short URL s.to. This rebrand becomes the site's permanent identity, though the original long domain remains active as a redirect.
• Dec 2018 – First major ISP blocks occur in Austria (specifically T-Mobile Austria), marking the start of regulator-backed DNS blocking in the DACH region.
• 11 Mar 2021 – Operators publish the "DNS Zensur" support article, confirming that German ISPs (Telekom, Vodafone, 1&1) have begun blocking the domain following a CUII (Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet) recommendation from Feb 2021.
• 31 Jan 2026 – Official announcement of "Version2", a complete infrastructure rewrite. The update modernizes the backend while preserving user watchlists and accounts, securing the platform for the next decade.

For users, this history is useful context: domain changes, blocks, or infrastructure updates can affect setup stability even if your AniBridge config is correct.

What You Can Expect In AniBridge

• AniBridge can resolve S.to slugs from your queries.
• It can target episodes by (slug, season, episode).
• It parses available hosters and language variants from episode pages.
• It uses this data to build Torznab items and download jobs.

Practical Notes For Setup

• Provider key in config: s.to
• Slugs typically follow: /serie/<slug>

• Default language candidates in AniBridge:
  • German Dub

Episode Provider Parsing (S.to v2)

AniBridge includes S.to-specific parsing for episode pages. In practical terms, this means AniBridge can discover available hosters and language options directly from the provider page:

• builds episode URLs as /serie/<slug>/staffel-<season>/episode-<episode>
• extracts data-play-url, provider name, and language metadata
• maps language IDs to AniBridge language labels
• enriches episode objects with provider/language choices used later for resolution

Configuration

Common environment variables:

• CATALOG_SITES (include s.to to enable)
• STO_BASE_URL
• STO_ALPHABET_URL
• STO_ALPHABET_HTML
• STO_TITLES_REFRESH_HOURS

See Environment for full definitions.

Things To Keep In Mind

• Provider markup changes can affect parser results until AniBridge is updated.
• Availability, language options, and hosters are provider-controlled and can change at any time.
• Legal and provider-policy status can change. Re-check before long-term automation.
