NuvioForLinux Wiki

NuvioForLinux is a community-maintained Linux desktop port of NuvioMobile — an unofficial Kotlin Multiplatform rewrite of the original Nuvio media hub. It brings the full Stremio addon ecosystem to Linux via Kotlin Multiplatform JVM + VLCJ.

Note: The upstream NuvioMobile project is currently being rewritten by the official team and is not accepting pull requests. This fork is maintained independently.
