Due to TMDB issues the update is released earlier than expected.

Highlights

• Fixed cloud sync reliability so fresh local changes are pushed before cloud restore can overwrite them.
• Added missing cloud sync coverage for DNS, custom User-Agent, OLED background, focus border color, loading stats, TorrServer URL, and related profile settings.
• Home server tokens are now encrypted at rest locally while remaining restorable through cloud sync.
• Fixed TMDB/API gzip edge cases and metadata failures that caused missing posters, black detail backgrounds, and details page crashes.
• Fixed playback startup/autoplay behavior so autoplay starts the highest source first and manual source selection starts the selected source.
• Improved TV home and player UI: cleaner pause overlay metadata, better hero metadata layout, lower hero positioning, larger IMDb/service markers, and better visual grouping.
• Added support for multiple EPG links per IPTV playlist.
• Improved IPTV/home-server loading, continue watching artwork, mobile home-server audio track selection, custom User-Agent editing, and non-Trakt cloud/continue-watching sync.

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
