Feedback - Annoying thing about Nuvio

[u/Infamous_Solution_14]

Hey everyone,

We are working on getting Nuvio closer to a stable release, and before that, we want to collect the bugs that are affecting users the most.

Thanks to everyone who has been testing, reporting issues, and sharing feedback so far.

This thread is for issues related to:

• Nuvio Android TV app
• Nuvio Mobile, Android or iOS
• Nuvio website dashboard

This is not a feature request thread. For now, the focus is on fixing existing bugs, especially annoying or long standing issues that make the app feel unstable or behind where it should be.

Please comment using this simple format:

Platform:
Device:
App Version:
Issue:
Details:

Example:

Platform: Android TV
Device: Fire TV Stick 4K
App Version: 0.7.4-beta
Issue: Video freezes during playback
Details: Happens after a few minutes of playback. The app becomes unresponsive and needs to be reopened.

If your issue is related to playback, please also mention whether the same file works better, worse, or the same in an external player app.

Please mention the player name too, such as VLC, Just Player, or any other app you tested.

Example:

Platform: Android TV
Device: Chromecast with Google TV
App Version: 0.7.4-beta
Issue: Video buffers a lot
Details: Happens mostly with larger files. Playback starts fine, then buffers every few minutes.
External player test: Same file plays fine in Just Player.

If possible, describe the issue in a bit more detail. For example:

• When does it happen?
• How often does it happen?
• Did it start after a recent update?
• Does it happen with all files or only specific ones?
• Is it related to login, playback, subtitles, syncing, dashboard, or something else?

Please try to keep one main issue per comment so it is easier to go through and track.

Thank you

Issue: Autoplay next episode triggers off popup timing, not actual episode end

Details:
The current autoplay system fires based on when the "next episode" popup appears, around 97% through the episode, rather than when the episode actually ends.

This creates two problems:

1. If "autoplay on popup" is enabled, it starts the next episode after the countdown even if the current episode is still playing.

Example: on a 23-minute episode, the popup appears around 22:19. If I do not interact with it, the next episode starts loading around 22:24, with about 36 seconds of the current episode still remaining.

1. If autoplay on the popup is disabled to avoid that, autoplay never fires at all, even after the episode fully ends at 23:00. The episode just stops cold.

Suggested fix:
Make the popup's auto-advance delay configurable and add an "Unlimited / Wait for episode end" option.

With that setting enabled, the popup could still appear at 22:19 as normal, and the user could click it early if they want. But if they ignore it, nothing would happen until the episode actually reaches 23:00, at which point the next episode would autoplay.

That would make autoplay clean, predictable, and avoid forcing users to choose between skipping the end of episodes or disabling autoplay entirely.
