⚙️ 2. Setup Initialization

For Stremio proceed directly below, for Nuvio scroll further down.

🎞️ Stremio

  1. Create an account on Stremio if you haven’t created one yet.
  2. Open Stremio Web and MAKE SURE you’re signed in with your account.
    • 📢 IMPORTANT: Do not confuse www.stremio.com, which is for account management, with web.stremio.com, which you MUST be signed in to for removing/installing the addons. Being signed in to www.stremio.com does not automatically sign you in to web.stremio.com, and your addons will not install on your account.
    • Obviously you need a browser to configure everything on this guide, including using the Web version of Stremio to remove and install addons. Don’t worry though, after you set everything up ONCE, you can use your setup everywhere you use Stremio (Smart TV, Android, iOS, Windows, everywhere).

    Sign In

  3. Go to “Settings” in Stremio Account and enable Trakt Scrobbling by connecting it to your Trakt account.
    • This will allow Stremio to sync show progress and history with Trakt.

  4. Go to “Addons” and uninstall all addons.
    • Also remove the Trakt Integration addon, it is separate from Trakt Scrobbling (which you need), and you don’t need it because we will use something else for this.
    • Cinemeta and Local Files cannot be removed. Leave them, we will take care of this later.

🚀 Nuvio

  1. Create an account on Nuvio if you haven’t created one yet.
    • This will be the account that stores your Nuvio profiles, addon setup, collections, and app settings.
    • Do not confuse this with your Stremio account. Nuvio uses its own account system.
  2. Install the Nuvio app for your platform as linked on the Nuvio homepage.
    • 📢 IMPORTANT: Nuvio is not on all official app stores yet, so installation depends on your platform and may require sideloading or a manual install.
    • *For Android and Android TV, it is already available on Play Store.
    • If you are using Windows, iOS, Tizen, WebOS, or any other platform, the process may be different. This is one of the reasons this chapter is still marked as work in progress.
  3. Open the Nuvio app on your device.
  4. Log in to your Nuvio account through the QR Code shown in the app.
    • The app should show you a QR Code or login flow that connects the device to your Nuvio account.
    • After the login is complete, the app should be connected to the same account you created in the browser.
