nuvio-windows-unofficial

Nuvio Windows Unofficial is a community-built desktop application for Windows that brings the Nuvio experience to a larger screen. Nuvio is a streaming organizer app with an add-on ecosystem: users install their own sources and extensions, and Nuvio provides the interface to browse catalogs, track watch progress, and play media. The official Nuvio app runs on Android and Android TV, and this project is an unofficial port of the open-source mobile codebase adapted for Windows desktops. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the official Nuvio team.

The app is designed with a TV-style layout suited for keyboard and mouse navigation and for use in fullscreen. It connects to your Nuvio account to sync your profiles, add-on list, catalogs, collections, and watch progress across devices. Playback is handled internally using a media player based on MPV, with an option to hand off to an external player if preferred. The app also supports connecting Trakt, a service for tracking what you have watched, through an OAuth setup built into the settings screen.

Installation is done by downloading the Windows installer from the project's GitHub Releases page. The app is compatible with 64-bit Windows 10 and Windows 11. It includes an automatic update checker that notifies you when a new version is available. No media content is bundled or provided by the app itself: all streams come from add-ons and sources that the user installs. The README notes that plugin-backed stream results are still being debugged and may not work reliably for all sources.

The project is built using Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform, which allows sharing code across Android, iOS, and desktop targets from a single codebase. The desktop-specific code handles things like Windows file storage, deep link handling, and the in-app update flow. The project is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0, matching the license of the upstream Nuvio project it derives from.
