I looked at it earlier... and it seemed ot be just another media app. Decided to take a closer look since you're so gung ho about it, and came to the same conclusion based on their website. Given what you're saying about it, and the complete lack of any of those claims by the company... you're the one not including relevant information.

The Nuvio website doesn't mention bittorrent usage at all. In fact, it doesn't mention acquiring media in any way. All of the advertising says the exact same thing that Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin all say.

Nuvio does not come with a catalogue. It plays the media you already have, and adds everything around it: the artwork, the numbers, the subtitles, and the memory of where you stopped.

That's literally what all of these media apps do. They take your existing media and make it pretty anbd easily accessible across devices.

It plugs into what you already use.

Nuvio plays from your own media server or from the addons you install. Tracking, ratings, artwork and skip markers come from the services you already use.

Hmm seems to be advertising the app as something that i playing YOUR existing media, going going out to get new media you don't have... except for that bit about addons. What you're describing doesn't seem to be native functionality of the app, but probably something provided by one of the add-ons they mention. Of which there is no apparent way to browse their addon library without installing the app, and I'm not going to do that just for a random discussion online with someone that is leaving out relevant information to try and make the claim something is better, when the app claims to do the exact same thing.

In fact, the subreddit, also seems to indicate that content acquisition isn't in the scope of the app or community.

Nuvio welcomes community addons that provide metadata (TMDB, Trakt, Simkl), subtitles, and custom catalogs. However, discussions or addons that facilitate access to copyrighted content, stream scraping or debrid link troubleshooting are strictly prohibited on r/nuvio. Posts containing images of unauthorized streams or stream-scraping addons are subject to removal. Violations of these rules will be removed.

So you're entire basis for proselytizing this app over the several other existing ones the community has already verified and ensured quality of for years... is an unsupported addon that the app's own community denounces and could stop working at any point because it's not officially supported in any way

You can keep your year old app that already seems to have a dozen other vibe-coded forks using the same name without anyone enforcing any sort of trademark. I'm sure there's absolutely no astroturfing going on here at all for what seems to be a chinese clone. I'm sure the piracy community has gone through the entire source code with a fine-toothed comb to ensure there's nothing hiding in the main apps or the community addons and that all code review is d=properly verifying quality and security. /s

Yeah I loved popcorn time. I'm looking into Stremio, and I'm already down a rabbit-hole of add-ons, debrid providers, and reading between the lines. Doesn't seem like anything I can recommend to nontechnical folks.
