One month ago today, Xperience went live.

I built it because I wanted a cleaner, better-looking way to browse and organize catalogs, and honestly I figured a handful of people might find it useful.

A month later, there are around 6,000 of you using it. I still don't quite have words for that.

I've tried to read everything: the praise, the "hey, this is broken," and the "can you please add…" It's shaped nearly every update. A few things people keep bringing up that mean a lot:

• The posters and artwork (the part I obsessed over first)
• Pushing changes straight to your account, no reinstalling the addon every time you tweak your setup
• Collections that actually look clean and organized
• The catalogs. Seeing Xperience in people's top lists still doesn't feel real

I want to be clear about one thing: this community is spoiled for choice right now. There are great tools out there and genuinely talented people building them. I'm not here to tell anyone to ditch what they love. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took a chance on a brand-new addon in its first month.

As for what's next, a lot. A few things I'm heads-down on:

• Faster, smarter search
• Personalized recommendations
• Even more catalogs, collections, and artwork sets

I'm shipping something every few days, and the roadmap keeps growing because of your feedback.

If you're using Xperience, thank you, sincerely. If there's something you wish it did, drop it below. I read everything, and there's a real chance it ends up in the app.

Here's to month two.

Another batch of updates landed on Xperience (the visual catalog builder for Nuvio — curate, style, and sync your streaming home with no JSON required). This is the biggest one yet, so here's the rundown.

Create catalogs with AI

You can now describe a catalog in plain English and Xperience builds it for you. "Mind-bending sci-fi from the last decade", "cozy mysteries for a rainy weekend" — type the prompt, preview the results before adding, and regenerate or tweak the prompt right from the editor if it's not quite right. It even names the catalog for you if you don't. AI catalogs live in their own section and drop straight into your home screen or collection folders.

There's also an "AI for you" row that recommends titles based on your taste, and it now properly skips everything you've already watched on Trakt.

AI search

Search doesn't have to be a title anymore. Ask for what you're in the mood for in natural language and it figures out what you mean. Regular search got smarter too: searching an actor or director now blends their filmography right into the results.

Home Layout

This one's been asked for since day one. You can now arrange your entire home screen exactly how you want it: drag any row anywhere, mix collections and catalogs freely instead of being stuck with fixed groups, and pin rows so your favorites stay locked at the top. The layout syncs across your devices.

Edit any catalog, per catalog

Every row now has its own editor: rename it, filter it by year, change the sorting, or shuffle it. No more one-size-fits-all rows.

Custom lists got a big upgrade

• Add lists by ID from Trakt, MDBList, or public TMDB lists through a new import modal
• Sort controls for Trakt, AniList, Simkl, and MDBList list catalogs
• Connect your TMDB account for personal home rows
• Importing from a Nuvio setup now converts your existing Trakt/TMDB/MDBList list sources into native, reusable catalogs, and you can name them

Quality-of-life

• New filter to hide everything you've already watched, everywhere
• New filter to hide content from specific countries (if K-dramas keep flooding your rows, this is for you)
• Real IMDb ratings and English fallback for episode data, so episode lists stop showing blanks
• More metadata languages with a searchable language picker
• Hundreds of new cover art options: network logo sets in 17 styles, decades collections, anime backfills, and more

I tried installing xperience addon in nuvio and studios posters are not loading

Another batch of updates landed on Xperience (the visual catalog builder for Nuvio, curate, style, and sync your streaming home with no JSON required). Starting with the big one.

Bring your own lists (Trakt + MDBList)

You can now paste any public Trakt or MDBList list URL and Xperience turns it into a real catalog. No JSON, no manifest editing.

• Works as a home row (Step 2) and as a collection folder source (Step 3), grouped under a new "Custom" section
• Just paste the URL and it figures out whether it's Trakt or MDBList on its own
• Public Trakt lists need nothing, MDBList lists use your own MDBList key
• The list name carries through so Nuvio shows it the way you'd expect

This is the one a lot of you have been asking for. If there's a curated list out there you love, it's now one paste away from being a row on your home screen.

Filters

• Hide content I've already watched. New Step 1 toggle that drops titles you've finished on any connected tracker (Trakt, Simkl, AniList) from the discovery rows. It leaves your own tracker rows and search alone, and if a tracker is down it just leaves the row as-is instead of emptying it.
• Exclude by country of origin. Hide titles from countries you pick (set KR if you want K-dramas out of the generic rows, for example) across every catalog and search.
• Step 1 preferences got reorganized into clear sections (display language, content maturity, country of origin, content to hide), and the country picker is sorted alphabetically now.

Content & sources

• World Cinema got a lot bigger. Added Greek, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Filipino, and Cantonese, plus Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish rows, each tuned per language with Latest and series rows.
• Anime collection got reworked. Trending, Most Popular, and Top Rated now come from AniList so they line up with the MAL community packs, while Latest and Upcoming pull from TMDB so brand-new and unreleased stuff actually shows up. Also added an "Airing Now" row.
• Greek is now a full app UI language and content language.
• Cleaned up the browse sources. Popularity rows have vote floors now so a random spike can't push some unrated single-vote title to the top. Added more director rows (Ridley Scott, Cameron, Peter Jackson, del Toro, Coppola, Spike Lee, Greta Gerwig, and others) and new mood rows (Revenge, Magic, Coming of Age, Martial Arts, Vampire, Satire).
• New Networks collection so you can browse by broadcast/cable network.
• Also added a Runtime group (Short, Standard, Long, Epic), Kids family franchises (Toy Story, Shrek, etc.), a Trakt "Recommended For You" row, and did some folder cleanup (K-Drama moved out of Anime, among others).

Badges

Reworked badge colors. You can apply a color to all your badges or just one group, the panel got redesigned with a live preview, there's a custom color picker now, and the swatch colors actually match what shows up.

Builder & fixes

• Step 4 remembers which Nuvio profile you last pushed to and preselects it.
• Fixed a Nuvio login error that could wrongly kick you out of Xperience.
• Fixed actor and director rows that wouldn't load for big-name actors with hundreds of credits. They page through properly now.

Cover art

New logomark cover sets for the Networks collection, and backfilled covers for the Decades, Anime, and World Cinema folders.

A lot of you, especially folks just starting out, asked for a proper walkthrough, or weren't sure how Xperience is actually different from AIOMetadata. So I built one.

There's now a full guide on the site. It's free and needs no login:

https://xperience-app.com/guide

What's inside:

- What Xperience is, and a clear side-by-side with AIOMetadata

- A 5-minute quick start

- The setup wizard explained step by step: every option, what it does, and the gotchas (the TMDB v4 key, poster providers, filters, collections, the install link)

- Dedicated sections for Settings, Avatars, and Badges

- A plain-English glossary and an FAQ / troubleshooting section

It also follows your app language, so it's available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Greek.

If you've ever wanted to point a friend at Xperience but they found it confusing, this is the link to send them.

Feedback welcome: if anything in the guide is unclear, missing, or wrong, drop a comment and I'll fix it. Same goes for anything you wish it covered.

Hello, I am having a problem with Streaming Rows added to my collections. When I click on a category (netflix,prime video etc) then select a movie, then click on play, I get this error. I don't get this on all movies, just some. I have reconfigured and pushed updates to all profiles, logged out and back in with the same issue. Hope you can help. Thank you!

Some catalogs doesn't seem to be working correctly. (ISSUE SOLVED)

Quick follow-up to my last post. Here’s what’s landed since then.

Brand-logo cover-art sets. Carrying on from the cover stuff last time, there’s now a set that drops the actual brand logo onto your studio and streaming-service folders. Around 23 studios are covered so far (A24, Marvel, DC, Pixar, Studio Ghibli, HBO, Lucasfilm, Lionsgate, Universal, Warner Bros, Paramount, Sony, DreamWorks, Illumination…) plus the streaming services. Each one comes in a few treatments (clean glow, duotone, monogram, etc.) in both landscape and portrait, so a whole row of brand folders ends up looking consistent.

Simkl support. If you’re on Simkl instead of (or as well as) Trakt, you can now hook it up. Works account-wide or per profile, and you can have both connected at the same time. Connecting it adds a “My Simkl Plan to Watch” row and pulls your Simkl Completed history into the AI “For You” recommendations.

A few smaller things that also went in:

• The app’s now available in Italian (on top of English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese).
• Added TLC, HGTV and Food Network as folders under Streaming Services.
• Detail pages are self-sufficient now, full cast (with photos), directors/writers, trailers, age ratings and release dates come straight from Xperience, so you don’t need Cinemeta/AIOMetadata installed to see them.
• Search and non-TMDB lists (Trakt/Simkl/MDBList, IMDb Top 250, etc.) now show in your profile’s language instead of always defaulting to English.
• Plus a round of catalog fixes so collection folders reliably resolve to streams.

If you use Simkl, curious how that’s working for you and which studio logos you’d want added next.
