Stremio.sh not launching stremio

Question

I use Stremio to watch films and series online.
The Stremio package comes with many files, and two of them can be used to launch the program; Stremio-runtime (I don't use it because this laucher makes stremio freeze) and Stremio.sh, which I do use.

My Stremio folder is in my home directory, and to launch it I have to use terminal:

cd Stremio/
./Stremio.sh

Because even with "run the file as a program", when I double click Stremio.sh, it opens with gedit?

What is wrong?

I can run it trough terminal! I want to run it with double click. — Rodrigo Silva, Mar 13 '17 at 22:49
If you want to run it from terminal, and be able to close it, run the sh and press Ctrl+Z, or run nohup sh ~/Stremio/stremio.sh — M. Becerra, Mar 13 '17 at 23:51

To be able to open executables with double-click:

Open Nautilus
Open the menu Edit > Preferences > Behavior > Executable text files
Choose either:
- Run executable text files when they are opened
- Ask each time
