    Same except instead of Jellyfin I have Nuvio because I rather have a one-click streaming solution, rather than having to manually build a library from my existing media.

      Basically all I want is a system that stores my shows in some sort of logical order and keeps track of where I am in a movie / episode other than that I don’t need much more.

      First time I hear that name, how does it differ from stremio, which it seems to parallel heavily?

        General improvements upon stremio in various aspects. Stremio’s Android TV app just constantly crashes or fails to get sources for me, so I switched.

        This one has stuff like separate profiles w/pin passwords, (imo) nicer and faster UI, and has integrations like aniskip.

        It also can directly use stremio’s addons and there are ways to import your watch history, addons and libraries, so it is super easy to migrate

      It does the same no, stream your library anywhere. Thats what Jellyfin does, Netflixify your personal library

        From what I understand, no it doesn’t. You still need a personal library for it to work. With Nuvio, you don’t need anything at all. Just pick a show/movie you want to watch, and watch it.

        With Jellyfin, the way I understand it is that you have to take the time to rip your discs (or pirate them), then add them to your Jellyfin library. There is no such issue with Nuvio. It’s basically Netflix + Prime + Disney + HBO + Peacock + Crunchyroll + everything else combined into a single app. No “personal library” required.

            Again, I don’t HAVE a folder of media. I don’t WANT a folder of media! That’s the entire reason why I switched to Nuvio! I got tired of having to rip discs and download torrents to build said “folder of media”. I just want to stream.

            Honestly I don’t understand why you guys insist on fighting me about this. Clearly y’all don’t understand what Nuvio does. I implore you to look up how it works before you reply again. Please, for my mental health!

                Yes, it’s option 3. Why are you so “horrified” by this? Does the concept of people watching YouTube/Freetube/Piped horrify you too?

                Look, this isn’t music we’re talking about; when it comes to movies and TV, I see no point in building a personal library, just how I see no point in downloading YouTube videos. I have my favorites that I’ll re-watch once in a blue moon, yes, but generally once I’m done with a movie/episode, I’m done with it for good. Therefore I see no point in having a movie/TV collection wasting valuable hard drive space.

                Before I discovered Stremio/Nuvio, my workflow was like this:
                Boot up PC > fire UP VPN and open Firefox > Navigate to 1337X > search for something to watch (assuming that I already know what I want to watch) > click magnet link and wait for seeds > transfer file to Jellyfin library > boot up TV > open Jellyfin and watch > delete file

                After switching, my workflow is now this:
                Boot up TV > Open Nuvio > Browse for movie/show > Watch

                I hope I explained it well enough by now. Do you understand the difference now? One of these options requires way more work than the other. Nuvio works exactly like Netflix. It even recommends you content based on your viewing history. No personal library required.
