 Features

- A home screen you can make your own. Choose the expanded-card TV home or the classic layout, arrange catalogs and collections, show your watchlist beneath Continue Watching, and enable optional trailer previews.
- Collections and discovery. Browse built-in collections or import your own. Collection pages include artwork, title previews, descriptions and ratings where available. Add compatible TMDB pages, Trakt, SIMKL and MDBList lists, or add-on catalogs.
- Your library and release Calendar. Keep watchlists, personal lists and home-server libraries together. See upcoming movies and episodes from supported lists and shows you are watching, with local-time schedules where an air time is known.
- Plex, Emby and Jellyfin. Connect your own servers or libraries shared with you, browse their contents and use available server media as playback sources.
- Live TV and catch-up. Connect supported M3U, Xtream Codes or Stalker sources. Browse categories, favorites, recently watched channels and the programme guide, with a mini-player and fullscreen playback. Guide coverage, catch-up and seeking depend on your provider.
- Sports inside Live TV. Browse live and upcoming events, then choose a matched channel or compatible sports add-on source. Use IPTV, sports add-ons, or both. Coverage and artwork depend on the schedules and sources available to your setup.

Top issues

Latest release

ARVIO 2.3.1 — Smoother browsing, better tracking

This update brings a more polished TV and mobile experience, more room for your libraries and playlists, and important playback and tracking fixes.

 Highlights

- Better SIMKL syncing: recover resume positions when imported playback lacks a runtime, preserve fractional progress, send a final update when closing the player, and keep queued updates through token refreshes without crossing account boundaries.
- Larger MDBList collections: remove the 96-title ceiling, load cards progressively in View All, and reuse cached list IDs across pages.
