Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find a solid anime streaming app that works properly on Android TV — something similar to Stremio in terms of smoothness and usability.

What I’m specifically looking for:

• Fully usable with a TV remote (or phone remote), not touch-focused
• Clean TV UI (not a half-baked “TV mode”)
• Lightweight enough to run well without needing a powerful streaming box
• Ideally supports torrents + Real-Debrid integration

What I’m not looking for:

• Apps that are basically mobile ports with clunky navigation
• Anything that bundles manga/novels and becomes unnecessarily heavy
• Forks of Saikou/Dartotsu (they feel bloated and not optimized for TV use)

I’ve tried setups like Stremio + Torrentio + RD (which works great overall), but I’m curious if there are anime-focused alternatives that are actually designed with TV in mind.

From what I’ve seen, people often mention things like CloudStream or similar apps for Android TV setups, but I’m not sure how well they hold up in terms of UI and remote navigation.

Would really appreciate any recommendations — especially if you’re running it directly on Android TV (not via casting).

Hi all,

I am reaching out to the subreddit to see if anyone else facing this issue and have a workaround in terms of the search result limitation.

As I am fond of Anime series with long episodes, it resulting in great num. of specials and movies, which are not displayed when search via CloudStream application. This happens on AndroidTV as I am unsure if similar issue happens in other platform, is there any option for pagination or lazy loading for this issue?

Hi all,

May I request a hand in finding a gem amongst many in this subreddit, I am looking for an app that can run on AndroidTV that able to view Pokemon series in it's entirety in SUB (ENG).

Most app that sources sites beyond AniKai or AnimeKai had shown me it failed to get Pokemon Advanced Generation in SUB, only DUB.

I have tried following application,

• AnimeTV (having issues with video streaming)
• Stremio (wasn't able to locate the right torrent, yes have tried Torrenttio, Real-Debrid Search, Debrid Search, Amatsu, Nyaa Anime and etc.... all failed and only producing DUB)
• Nuvio (was thinking of a new frontier but it's the same failure as Stremio for addon and plugin as AnimeTV and other apps in failing to retrieve streams)
• CloudStream/SkyStream (it seems both dev have allergic reaction to show search result more that 20-30? Detective Conan alone have so much SP and Movie that most of it truncated in the search result, but it is working)

my best option now is CloudStream/SkyStream for AnimeKai ext, but can we connect to the devs and ask why the limit of the num. in search result?

Hi guys, I was looking for replacement for Stremio as it failed to catch the exact torrent I am looking for and discovered Nuvio, I decided to take a dip into it.

However I discovered the Docs is more of a developers' guide and project development, I tried looking for beginner guide but only located one simple post in this subreddit rules, https://www.reddit.com/r/Nuvio/comments/1rd0gdi/a\_helpful\_guide\_for\_new\_members/.

Is there a guide allowing me to customize my Nuvio just like you guys, something thorough and complete.
