Features
Nuvio's features are vast. Here is an overview of what it has to offer:
UI, Customization & Organization 🎨
- Multiple Profiles: Nuvio supports individual user profiles, allowing different members of a household to keep their watch history, custom catalogs, and recommendations completely separate.
- Home Screen Management: You have total control over your dashboard. You can reorder, toggle, or completely disable default and custom catalogs so you only see exactly what you care about.
- Custom Layouts: The app offers multiple UI layouts, allowing you to tweak how posters, rows, and media details are presented (e.g., choosing between dense grids or large, cinematic scrolling rows).
- Collections & Custom Catalogs: Beyond standard addon scraping, Nuvio lets you build deep custom collections. You can group media by streaming platforms, studios, specific genres, or directors, and the app will automatically apply custom background artwork and logos to make these rows look native.
Playback & Offline Viewing 📼
- Mobile Downloads: You can download media directly within the mobile app for offline playback, making it perfect for travel or commuting.
- Advanced Playback Engines: Under the hood, Nuvio uses high performance players natively built for each platform (AndroidX Media3, MPVKit, and AVFoundation for iOS) to handle modern codecs, subtitles, and hardware acceleration smoothly.
- ExoPlayer Native Memory & Buffer/Network controls (Android TV): Optional native buffer storage, custom buffer durations, and parallel CDN downloads for high-bitrate streams on TV sticks and boxes. See Player Settings — Buffer and Network.
- Playback-Focused Interface: The UI is stripped of the clutter found in heavy scraper apps, focusing strictly on a clean, visual-first presentation for selecting and playing media.
Integration & Tracking
- Native Trakt Integration: Nuvio connects directly to your Trakt account to automatically track your watch progress, sync your history across all your devices, and pull in your personalized watchlists.
- Debrid Integration: Nuvio has native debrid integration for Torbox and Premiumize.
- Mobile Notifications: On iOS and Android, Nuvio can send push notifications to alert you when a new episode of a show you are tracking airs.
