Hi everyone,

I am the developer of ARVIO. ARVIO is an open-source media hub for Android TV, Android phones, and tablets. It is built around a TV-first interface with remote navigation, but it also supports mobile and tablet layouts. The app does not host or provide media content. Users connect their own libraries, playlists, accounts, servers, and sources.

One of the bigger recent additions is home-server support. You can connect a user-owned Jellyfin server (or Emby/Plex) and ARVIO can show matching Jellyfin items as playable sources on movie and series details pages. The goal is to make Jellyfin libraries fit into the same browsing, search, continue-watching, and source-selection flow as the rest of the app.

Recent Jellyfin/home-server related additions:

• Connect user-owned Jellyfin servers from settings
• Show Jellyfin media as sources on matching movie and series details pages
• Support multiple connected home servers with custom labels
• Import home-server collections as ARVIO catalogs
• Improved source labels so it is clearer which server a source comes from
• Improved matching speed and autoplay behavior for home-server sources
• Better handling for movies, series, and episode matching

Other recent ARVIO improvements:

• Android TV, mobile, and tablet support
• Live tv playlist support with improved categories, EPG loading, VOD handling, and TV navigation
• Third-party addon support, including debrid and HTTP sources
• Profiles with optional cloud sync for settings, catalogs, watch state, IPTV state, and avatars
• Trakt watchlist and continue-watching improvements
• Better Android TV focus handling and smoother navigation
• Subtitle improvements, including language filtering, defaults, offset/style settings, and AI subtitles
• Search and catalog discovery improvements
