would be cool to be able to use the stremio web thing to pretty much spin up an instance in peario itself

Hi ! Can you elaborate a bit more on your suggestion ?

so the idea would be that the user would not need to have stremio open and we can get a stremio instance loaded in the browser headlessly

The reason why it needs stremio running to work is because Stremio desktop is spawning a stremio server instance, which is the streaming engine, without it it cannot stream torrents.
You don't need the stremio server running when watching a http stream

Ik but the idea is to maybe then have a stremio server instance running from the peario server

It is not possible to run a stremio server instance from the peario server
peario-server is just a websocket server that run on a vps, it allows users to create rooms and sync with each others
stremio-server is a torrent streaming engine that runs locally on the user's machine
stremio-web is a website/interface that connects to stremio-server to stream torrents just like peario-client
