🔥 How to Install Nuvio on Google TV/Android & Firestick

Hello all, been a while, life has been kicking my behind and my front and every other part also.

I am liking Nuvio except for one thing, I have no continue watching and can not figure out if it is the app or trakt or just me.
Trakt gives me all sorts of suggestions but fails to tell me what I have been watching and where I left off, even if I watched it in Nuvio.
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Thank you.
Glad I have Weyd.

Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well. Pray you feel better soon. :folded_hands::folded_hands::folded_hands:

Just an FYI, to help out any other fam. Out there w/ troubleshooting issues not able to install nuvio thru downloader. Knocked my head against wall fur 2 days, tryin to get nuvio on my Onn 4k Pro. Just kept gettin stuck on connecting

Tried pulling plugs on Onn device, on tv, totally reboot router/ modem, uninstalled n reinstalled DL, finally reset Onn Pro to factory, bummer, but it worked

Hope nobody else has that issue. I luv my Onn pro, but that made me sad, but I can breath again. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hold on , can’t breat yet :thinking: Not sure what the issue is, can somebody help? Why isn’t my torrentio n piratebay add ons not syncing to nuvio app to Onn pro. Only see open subs & Cinemeta. ???

Got it folks!! Had to disable vpn .. I’m a dufus @ X’s n go too fast.. Need to smell the coffee. :zany_face:

I’m honored to accept this award, I’ll just say my humble thanx& walk off stage , w/ no political statements as it should be..!!! :rofl:

Somewhere in the past I read that some apps don’t do well with a VPN on. I turned mine off and everything seems to work much better. I tried installing Duck streams awhile ago and it did not install like comet or mediafusion

The developers are continuing to work on the Trakt integration. The app has unfortunately had ongoing Trakt issues over a bunch of releases. Although I had a lot of Trakt ‘continue watching’ problems initially, it’s been better for me personally over the last week or two.

Two things you could do, would be:

  1. Open the Nuvio app on your TV, and log out of Trakt, and then log back in
  2. Go to Android Settings > Force Stop Nuvio, and then Clear Nuvio app cache

The developers recommend clearing the app cache after every update, and that does seem to make a difference. Give those steps a try if you haven’t already. Beyond that, hopefully some of the continued Trakt integration work they’re doing will sort out any remaining hiccups.

The one reoccurring problem I am having that is hugely annoying and forces me to go back to Stremio is, after the latest update again, for example, it removes all seasons and episodes and leave nothing below the series description to choose a season and an episode. I spend countless hours with this and it got fixed two updates ago and once again the problem is back., now absolutely no displayed Series on home screen, have any seasons or episodes. None. Ok got some seasons back by force closing, clearing cache, as well as clearing device data cache and restarting, but not all. Some in library are ok, some not. No rhyme or reason to it.

Hey , I’m still having issues, w/ gettin nuvio streams ti play. Got torrentio & pirate bay add ons, but when I click to play nothin happens. Tried disabling vpn, signing out n in again. Any suggestions.

Are you using a debrid service or P2P?

Not connected to RD, don’t believe. Thought that torrents didn’t need a rd service . Don’t know P2P ?:face_with_peeking_eye:

Nuvio requires a Debrid service. I cover that in my new troubleshooting video linked above.

Nuvio can work with both Addons & Plugins. Addons connect to a debrid service, but Plugins provide a non-debrid streaming solution, from what I understand. There is a separate “Nuvio Plugins” Discord Server where discussion around various plugins takes place. I personally only use Addons (with Premiumize) via AIOStreams, but I know that the non-debrid option does exist for those who need it and choose to use the plugins approach. I recommend that anyone needing more information about Plugins, to look at the Nuvio Plugins Discord server.

Hey @wcr5jop1 I have one request. As I use Discord and actually went to the servers with supposed help and received zero help, is there a chance, as you are mentioning plugins, that you would be so kind as to take some time, and explain exactly how to use plugins within the Nuvio app? I, for one, haven’t a clue and would like to understand. Oh and good morning. Have a buffer free day.

Good morning! :slight_smile:

So, admittedly I personally use Addons with my debrid subscriptions (RD & PM). I think that the small annual investment into these services is the superior course of action, and I believe probably 99% of the Nuvio users follow the same approach. I have a loose understanding of plugins personally, but did an AI-based search and came up with some pretty good information about how plugins work, how they differ from addons, what the most popular plugins are, and where to find them. Here’s what I discovered:

Plugins in the Nuvio app are a way to add custom “providers” (JavaScript-based scrapers) that pull direct HTTP streaming links for movies and TV shows from free hosting sites — completely separate from the torrent/debrid ecosystem.

How Plugins Work (Step-by-Step)

  1. You add a Plugin Repository
    In the Nuvio app go to Settings → Plugins → Add Plugin (or use the web dashboard at nuvioapp.space/account).
    Paste a manifest.json URL (a single file that lists multiple providers) and give it a name.
    Example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yoruix/nuvio-providers/refs/heads/main/manifest.json
    Save → relaunch the app → the plugin appears with a list of providers you can enable/disable individually.

  2. What Happens When You Play Something

    • Nuvio sends the TMDB/IMDb ID of your movie or TV episode to each enabled provider.
    • Each provider is a small JavaScript file that:
      • Looks up the title + year via the TMDB API.
      • Searches a specific website (e.g. uhdmovies.rip, hdhub4u, etc.).
      • Parses the page with Cheerio (HTML scraper).
      • Resolves link shorteners, cloud hosts, or APIs to direct video URLs (mp4, m3u8, etc.).
      • Returns a list of sources with quality, size, and optional headers.
    • Nuvio shows all those direct links in the player menu. You just pick one and it plays instantly — no torrent downloading, no magnet links, no P2P buffering.
  3. Key Differences from Addons

    • Plugins = direct HTTP streams scraped from hoster sites (no torrents/P2P at all). Great for users who don’t want (or don’t have) a debrid subscription.
    • Addons = Stremio-style extensions that usually rely on torrent providers; you can pair them with debrid services (Premiumize, Real-Debrid, etc.) to turn torrents into cached direct links.
      Plugins basically give you the same free/direct experience you get in apps like CloudStream.

Note on “P2P”: Plugins themselves do not use P2P or torrents. That’s the addon side. The community sometimes loosely calls free streaming “P2P-style” because it’s decentralized, but technically plugins are pure direct-link scrapers.

Example Plugin for Movies & TV Series

The most popular one right now is yoruix/nuvio-providers.
Manifest URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yoruix/nuvio-providers/refs/heads/main/manifest.json

Once added and refreshed, you get these providers (among others) that all work for both Movies and TV Series:

  • UHDMovies – scrapes uhdmovies.rip, pulls 1080p/4K links from driveseed, video-seed, resumebot, etc.
  • ShowBox – multiple qualities and language versions.
  • Vixsrc – fast m3u8 streams with auto-quality.
  • HDHub4u – high-speed direct links.
  • MoviesMod, 4KHDHub, StreamFlix, Vidnest, Cinevibe, etc.

Each provider is just a tiny JS file (e.g. uhdmovies.js) that does exactly what I described above: TMDB lookup → site search → link extraction → direct playable URL. You can enable only the ones that work best in your region.

Where to Get More Plugins / Help

The Discord server you linked ( Nuvio plugins ) is literally called “Nuvio plugins Discord Server”. That’s the main community spot where people share new manifest URLs, custom providers, updates when sites go down, and troubleshooting.

Just install the yoruix one first (it’s the most complete and actively maintained), enable a few providers, and you’ll have tons of direct HD links for movies and series without any debrid or torrents. If you want even more, hop into the Discord — new repos pop up there all the time. Enjoy!

Thank you for this. I also use Debrid services, 3 to be exact, and have found my best setup is just 2 addons, TorBox and Duck Streams, although within Duck I have 4 addons that I find, for my needs, are the best, but it has taken countless hours of testing and learning to get to a useful state. I will read what you posted when I get back from the track. I will see if I can find an actual human being who knows about the plugins and have tried them, and will impart their knowledge, as I am far from an AI advocate and don’t trust any, yet.

@Miki do you use Google search or any other search engines? If you have and do and trust those results you can certainly trust AI. Used in Browser searches it is basically just a search engine on Steroids. No robots involved – yet! :rofl:
