Hi everyone,

Nuvio has grown a lot recently, and with all the new users joining and supporting the app, we are upgrading and moving our servers to keep things more stable and scalable going forward.

There will be a maintenance period in July. The exact date will be announced later.

Before the maintenance happens, please make sure you are updated to at least 0.7.9 Beta on Android TV and 0.2.9 Beta on mobile. Desktop and webOS users are also requested to be on the latest version.

These versions include the backend switch support needed for the server move.

Once the switch happens, users on older versions will no longer be able to sync new data to the database. Those versions will become read only, so existing data can still be accessed, but new changes will not sync.

During the switch, users on supported versions will be logged out from all Nuvio clients and will need to log in again. There will also be an expected downtime of around 1–2 hours during the maintenance period.

Your data will not be wiped or affected. Until the switch is completed, Nuvio will either stay read only or stop syncing new data. After the switch is done and you log in again, syncing will continue normally.

Also, the Nuvio backend will be open source in the near future, and users will be able to self host their own backend.

Thank you for supporting and using Nuvio.

I’ve added a new feature called Nuvio Connect to Vortexo.

Nuvio Connect in Vortexo is currently in beta, so features are still being improved, expanded, and tested based on user feedback.

If you already use Nuvio, you can connect your own Nuvio account/setup and let Vortexo sync your enabled manifest URLs into the Apple TV app. This allows Vortexo to show cleaner Home rows, catalogs, metadata, subtitles, and supported playback source options from your own setup.

As far as I know, Nuvio does not currently have an Apple TV App Store app available, so Vortexo is giving Nuvio users a native Apple TV way to connect their own setup.

Current Nuvio Connect support:

• Imports your enabled Nuvio addons
• Shows addon catalogs inside Vortexo
• Supports subtitles from connected manifests
• Supports playback sources when your setup provides them

Coming in the next release:

• Collections support
• Custom stream badges
• Better source labels
• More Apple TV browsing and playback improvements

What it does:

• Connects your own Nuvio setup to Vortexo
• Syncs enabled manifest URLs
• Shows catalogs and metadata in a native Apple TV interface
• Supports source options when your connected setup provides them
• Keeps everything bring-your-own-source

What it does not do:

• Vortexo does not host or provide content
• Vortexo does not include preloaded sources
• Vortexo does not modify your Nuvio account
• Vortexo is not an official Nuvio app

Nuvio Connect is part of Vortexo Pro because it takes ongoing work to build, maintain, test, and keep reliable on Apple TV.

Vortexo Pro plans:

• Monthly: $2.99
• Yearly: $19.99 — best value
• Lifetime: $49.99 — one-time unlock

Vortexo is designed for users who already use Nuvio and want a cleaner Apple TV experience with their own connected setup.

No media is hosted or provided by Vortexo. It’s fully bring-your-own-setup.
