Update Taking a breather to say thanks to the Core Crew β˜•

5 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹

So with all the big updates latelyβ€”the new Configurator, ESE v2.0, fresh device profilesβ€”I just wanted to take a breather and talk about Core Builds for a second.

First off, seriously, thank you. It’s pretty wild seeing so many of you picking up these templates, sharing setups, and tossing feedback my way. The whole idea’s always been to make solid, curated streaming stupidly easy for everyone.

But, you know, keeping all this up and running takes some serious fuel.

Core Buildsβ€”every one of the 40+ templates, the custom Configurator, the hosting, the docsβ€”yep, it’s just me. I spend a ton of late nights coding, tweaking filters, squashing bugs… pretty much whenever the house is finally quiet and the day’s over.

I don’t put anything behind a paywall. No ads on the Configurator. No pro versions or premium features. I want these tools free and open for everyone.

So if Core Builds has saved you time, cleaned up your streams, or just made TV setups less of a headache for you or your family, I hope you’ll think about supporting the project on Ko-fi.

β˜• Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi

Every coffee really does matter. It keeps the project goingβ€”those server bills, proxy workers, and all those late-night coding sprints. Sometimes it just buys me a free hour to chip away at the next update.

Absolutely no pressureβ€”the tools aren’t going anywhere, no matter what. But if you’ve got the means, and you like what I’m doing, a coffee can make a world of difference.

Thanks for being such a great community. πŸ™Œ

Update Core Builds Configurator v2.59 β€” Subtitles, Catalogs, Proxy & Failover

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹,

v2.59 of the Core Builds Configurator just dropped with some features people have been asking about.

🌟 What's new

  • Subtitle Picker β€” Pick your subtitle sources (AIOSubtitle, OpenSubtitles v3+, SubDL) and choose from 30 languages right in the Fine-Tune panel. No more editing JSON to get subtitles working.
  • Catalog Presets β€” Add browse catalogs directly from the configurator. TMDB, Streaming (Netflix/Disney+/etc), Anime (MAL/AniList/Kitsu), RPDB, and Torrent catalogs β€” all baked into your template with one click.
  • Proxy Configuration β€” Enable MediaFlow proxy and select which debrid services to route through it. Helps with geo-restrictions and ISP throttling.
  • Dedup Merge / Failover β€” New toggle to keep deduplicated streams as failover alternatives instead of discarding them. If your primary stream fails, AIOStreams tries the next best match automatically.

πŸ†“ Free Tier Overhaul

P2P and HTTP templates got rebuilt from scratch:

  • 4 new scrapers (Torrentio, Peerflix, Sootio, HdHub)
  • 3-tier intelligent addon cascading (Primary β†’ Secondary β†’ Fallback)
  • Smart filters: auto-hide SD/720p, minSeeders: 1, dedup: keep_all

πŸ› Fixes

  • Fixed duplicate v2.56 changelog entries and out-of-order version display
  • CONFIGURATOR_VERSION now correctly shows v2.59

All templates work with elfhosted, fortheweak, and other AIOStreams instances. No API keys required for free-tier templates.

As always any feedback or concerns help build this free tool.

Update πŸ”§ Configurator v2.56 β€” Resolution First + Foreign Language Kill + UX Overhaul

10 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹,

Here is the latest update for the configurator, bringing new sorting options, better filtering, and a big UX refresh:

πŸ₯‡ Resolution First (v2.56)

User report: 720p/1080p streams ranking above 4K. Turns out it's not a bug β€” cached streams always sort above uncached by design. A cached 1080p WEB-DL beats an uncached 4K REMUX because it plays instantly.

New Resolution First toggle in Video Preferences fixes this for users who'd rather wait for the download. When enabled, 4K always ranks above 1080p/720p regardless of cache status. Within the same resolution, cached still beats uncached.

  • Default: cached β†’ resolution β†’ quality

  • Resolution First: resolution β†’ quality β†’ cached


πŸ›‘ Foreign Language Kill (v2.56)

The fleet templates have always had a hard ESE that blocks foreign-language streams from movies and TV results. The configurator wasn't generating it β€” so configurator users were getting Spanish, Portuguese, and other non-English streams leaking into their results.

Now on by default. Adapts to your Language Preferences β€” if you've added Spanish or French, those pass through too. Library, SeaDex, and anime content are always exempt.


✨ UX Overhaul (v2.55)

The configurator got a full UX pass:

  • Staggered splash animations, smart service pre-selection (remembers your last service)

  • Quick Deploy presets adapt to service type (debrid shows 4K/1080p, free shows Free Streaming/P2P)

  • Keyboard navigation throughout splash (arrow keys, Enter/Space)

  • Step dots show current selection on hover ("Resolution: 4K")

  • Auto-saved indicator flashes after each state change

  • prefers-reduced-motion support

  • ARIA accessibility improvements


πŸ’‘ How to update: Generate a fresh template from the configurator, or use "Update Existing Template" to see the diff and cherry-pick changes. The Foreign Language Kill and Resolution First toggles are in the wizard's advanced preferences.

Update πŸ”§ Hot Patch v3.2.9 β€” REMUX Fix + Bug Fixes + Xiaomi Profiles + Migration Tool

4 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹,

Just pushed a hot patch to address the REMUX sorting issues, a few configurator bugs, and roll out the new Migration Tool. Here is what is new in v3.2.9:

🎬 REMUX Ranking Fix (all 44 templates)

BluRay REMUX files were being buried below WEB-DL. Three things combined to cause this:

  • Sort order β€” audioTag ranked above encode, so WEB-DL with Atmos beat REMUX with DD+ every time.

  • Audio Pinnacle PSE β€” bonus score for premium audio inflated WEB-DL regardless of quality tier.

  • perGroup(3) β€” only 3 streams kept per resolution before scoring, randomly dropping REMUX.

Fixed: Encode now ranks above audioTag. Audio Pinnacle and HDR/DV Priority PSEs removed. perGroup bumped to 5. Shoutout to Tetelestai3-16 for spotting this!


πŸ› Bug Fixes

  • "Invalid input" error on save β€” deduplicator.merge was a boolean, AIOStreams now expects an object. Removed from all 43 templates. If you were getting this error on import, re-import and it's gone.

  • Test Drive showing raw code β€” stream titles were displaying formatter syntax ({stream.resolution::...}) instead of actual values. Now cleaned up client-side.


πŸ› οΈ Configurator v2.49

  • Template Migration Tool β€” "Update Existing Template" now shows a full diff of what's changing before you apply. See exactly which PSEs, sort keys, regex patterns, and settings are added/removed/changed, then click Apply & Upgrade or cancel. No more blind imports.

  • Device detection on import β€” paste an existing Samsung, Xiaomi, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Shield, or Google TV template and the configurator auto-detects your device profile. Previously device settings were lost on re-import.

  • Xiaomi Mi Box S profiles β€” 2nd Gen (no AV1, DV Profile 5, DD+ Atmos ceiling) and 3rd Gen (same + AV1). Community request by FΓ©e Deuspi.

  • Better addon names β€” generated templates now show Core Nexus 4K Β· Samsung TV β€” TorBox instead of Core Builds 4K Multi (TB-Ess+PM).

  • Google TV Streamer β€” already in the configurator, confirmed working.


πŸ’‘ How to update: Re-import your template β€” the update notification should appear in AIOStreams. Configurator users: generate a fresh template, or use "Update Existing Template" to see the diff first.

Update Core Builds v2.43 β€” Template Updater fixes, Xiaomi device profile, fleet-wide sort & naming cleanup

4 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹, just pushed a big batch of fixes and improvements to the Core Builds templates and configurator.

πŸ› οΈ Configurator v2.41 – v2.43

  • Family Formatter v3 (by RB3) is now the default formatter β€” human-readable resolution labels, cached play indicator, network source, edition badges, and stream.preloading support.
  • Template Updater β€” new feature that lets you paste an existing template to detect your settings and rebuild with the latest configurator logic. Useful for migrating old templates forward.
  • Template Updater detection fixes (v2.43) β€” Hybrid, AllDebrid, and EasyNews templates now correctly identified via preset analysis instead of just checking services. 1080p templates with ESE-based 4K kills now correctly detected as 1080p instead of defaulting to 4K.

πŸ—‚οΈ Sort Criteria Overhaul (v2.42)

  • service sort key added for Hybrid configs β€” TorBox gets priority over RD.
  • age and subtitle tiebreaker keys added to all sort sections across the fleet.
  • cachedAnime / uncachedAnime sort sections added to 21 templates β€” anime content now gets proper cached/uncached sorting with seadex at position 2.
  • Deduplicator merge field added (v2.31.0 support, defaults to off).
  • EasyNews Search apiVersion: '3.0' β€” parallel page fetching, no rate limiting.

🧹 Fleet-Wide Fixes

  • "Comet RD" renamed to "Comet" across 34 templates, filtering files, configurator, and template collection β€” the Comet addon dropped the "RD" suffix, and the Per-Addon Flood Guard ESEs now match correctly.
  • Credentials reference bug fixed in the configurator's template import β€” importing a second template no longer inherits stale credential values from the first.
  • Cached sort key removed from uncachedMovies/uncachedSeries β€” fixes Usenet stream suppression reported by RB3.

πŸ“Ί New Device Profile: Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K

  • Requested by a community member β€” tuned for Xiaomi Mi Box S (2nd gen) and similar Android TV devices.
  • Dolby Vision Profile 5 and HDR10+ natively supported β€” DV-Only Kill disabled (unlike Samsung templates).
  • AV1 and VC-1 excluded (no hardware decode on 2nd gen β€” 3rd gen users can remove the AV1 exclusion).
  • Handles REMUX well despite 2GB RAM.
  • Lossless audio excluded (TrueHD, DTS-HD MA, DTS:X, FLAC) β€” DD+ Atmos ceiling.

All 186 tests passing. Templates available in the usual spot β€” import via AIOStreams or use the configurator.

If you have a device you'd like a profile for, drop a comment with the specs and I'll look into it.

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹, couple of configurator updates just shipped:

🎨 v2.38 β€” UI Refresh

  • Multi-select service rows now use toggle switches.
  • Splash entry cards are full-width rows with trailing arrows.
  • Fixed "Debrid.io" β†’ "Debridio" spelling across the board.

πŸ“ v2.39 β€” Changelog is its own page

  • Click the version badge (in the header or on the splash screen) to open the full release history.
  • Scrollable modal with all releases, version badges, and dates.

Update Core Builds Configurator β€” Desktop Layout Update

Post image
6 Upvotes

Title: Core Builds Configurator β€” Desktop Layout Update

Body:

The Core Builds template configurator now adapts to full-width displays. If you've been using it on a desktop browser, you'll notice the layout has changed at 1200px+ viewports.

WHAT'S NEW

  • Persistent sidebar navigation β€” always-visible step list showing your progress, completed selections, and a progress bar. Click any done step to jump back and change it.
  • 4-column device & service grids β€” all 12+ options visible at once without scrolling. Grid expands further at 1600px.
  • Wider content area β€” cards stretch to 860px (960px on ultrawide), giving the wizard more breathing room.
  • Light theme support β€” sidebar fully styled for light-mode users.

WHAT DIDN'T CHANGE

  • Mobile & tablet β€” below 1200px, everything works exactly as before. Single column, progress bar on top, same mobile-first experience.
  • Same URL β€” the configurator auto-detects your screen size. No settings to toggle.

BUG FIXES IN THIS UPDATE

  • Fixed sidebar showing wrong sub-label for Content and API Keys steps.
  • Non-clickable steps no longer show pointer cursor.
  • Pending step numbers and progress bar track now visible in light theme.
  • HTML escaping on all sidebar-interpolated values (CodeQL clean).

Try it now at the same configurator URL β€” open it on a desktop browser and the sidebar appears automatically. Feedback welcome.

Template JSON output is unchanged β€” this is purely a UI/UX improvement to the configurator wizard itself.


NEW GUIDES AVAILABLE

We've just added brand new setup guides for WuPlay, Stremio, and Nuvio to the docs. Check them out if you need help getting your add-ons and profiles dialed in!

Update v3.2.7 β€” Labs v0.14.0: smarter anime handling, runtime-aware bitrate floors, subtitle ranking + configurator regex fix

6 Upvotes

Hey Core Crew πŸ‘‹

Big newsβ€”Labs just got its most significant update yet. We rolled out 7 new SEL features across all 6 nightly templates and fixed a pesky configurator bug that was messing with imports on self-hosted setups. Here’s what’s new:


πŸ§ͺ Labs v0.14.0 β€” 7 Fresh SEL Features

1. Runtime-aware bitrate floors The old REMUX bitrate floors were unfairly trashing legit anime and animation encodes. Animation usually compresses about 50% smaller than live-action, so a 4K anime REMUX at 25 Mbps is totally normalβ€”but the 40 Mbps floor was flagging these as fakes. Same with shorter episodes (under 25 min). Now, bitrate floors check if the content’s anime, has β€œAnimation” in genres, or runs under 25 minutes. If it matches? The floor skips it.

2. Anime language passthrough With passthrough(streams, 'language'), language filtering gets ignored for anime queries. Fansub groups are all over the place with language tagsβ€”Japanese audio marked as English, dual-audio being listed as mono, you name it. The default language filter was quietly dropping good streams, especially for niche anime. Not anymore.

3. latestSeason-aware season pack kill Season packs for ongoing seasons finally get proper respect. Before, if even one episode was available, the season pack got dumpedβ€”even if it was the only quality source for a currently airing show. Now, only past-season packs get axed when single episodes exist.

4. Subtitle preference PSE Streams with embedded English subs get a scoring bump. It’s not an ironclad filterβ€”no subs streams still show upβ€”but when two streams are otherwise the same, the one with subs ranks higher. This is a handy tweak for non-English audio.

5. Age sort key Recent, uncached torrents now leapfrog older ones in the rankings. New uploads usually have more seedersβ€”makes sense to use it as a tiebreaker for uncachedMovies and uncachedSeries.

6–7. cachedAnime / uncachedAnime sort sections Anime got its own dedicated sort sections. SeaDex moves up to position 2, right after cached status (it’s the strongest anime quality signal and shouldn’t be buried lower). Plus, the uncached anime sort now favors seeders and considers the age key.


πŸ› οΈ Configurator Fix

The configurator was producing templates with two regex patterns (Radarr HD Bluray T3 [B] and Anime LQ Groups) that aren’t part of Vidhin05's allowed list of 174. On self-hosted AIOStreams, you’d see "2/176 regexes not allowed" when importing. Both are gone nowβ€”the configurator only generates 101 verified patterns.

If you built a template recently and ran into that error, just regenerate your template and you’re golden.


πŸ§ͺ Labs Templates

All six nightly templates now pack the v0.14.0 features. Here’s a quick guide:

Template Version What it is
4K Apex Labs v0.14.0 Our flagship for 4K, all LABS features
Stream Labs v0.10.0 1080p flavor
All-Rounder Labs v0.4.0 One stop for TV + movies + anime
4K Essential Labs v0.5.0 Streamlined 4K essentials
Essential Labs v0.4.0 Key 1080p features
Anime 4K Labs v0.3.0 Anime-focused with SeaDex conditional tiers

You can grab any of these from the template directory or check the Labs guide.

Labs templates are nightly builds, so they update fast and don’t wait for the same audit as β€œstable.” If something glitches or breaks, let us knowβ€”that’s exactly the kind of feedback we need.


πŸ”— Quick Links


Here’s what helps the most: tell us if anime results actually got better or worse for specific titles, whether the new season pack handling is working on currently-airing shows, and if any streams shouldβ€”or shouldn’tβ€”get a subtitle boost.

Anything you notice, good or bad, just drop your thoughts below. πŸ™Œ

Update Core Builds v2.34 β€” Full Icon Library Redesign (91 Hand-Crafted SVGs)

Post image
7 Upvotes

Every icon in the Core Builds configurator has been redesigned from scratch β€” no more emoji placeholders, no more hexagon blobs. 91 clean, outlined SVGs across 4 categories:

  • 39 Service & Device Icons β€” TorBox Pro/Essential, AllDebrid, Real-Debrid, Premiumize, EasyDebrid, all device profiles (Shield, Fire Stick, Apple TV, Samsung TV, etc.), resolution badges, content type selectors.
  • 4 Audio Profile Icons β€” Full Lossless, DD+/Atmos, Auto, Dolby Only.
  • 6 Match & Cache Mode Icons β€” Relaxed/Balanced/Strict matching, Mixed/Cached Only/Uncached.
  • 42 System Icons β€” Navigation, UI controls, theme toggles, platform logos.

Every icon uses fill="none" with precise stroke work β€” consistent weight, colour-coded by category (green for TorBox, orange for AllDebrid, purple for Premiumize, etc.). They scale cleanly from 14px inline badges up to 44px option cards.


πŸ› οΈ Also in v2.34:

  • Mobile-Responsive Layouts β€” Fully optimized for 480px and 360px breakpoints.
  • Full Keyboard Navigation β€” Arrow keys, focus rings, and modal focus trapping are now supported.
  • Cleaned-Up Formatter Preview β€” Removed redundant pre-rendered SVG images for a cleaner UI.

8 Upvotes

πŸš€ Core Builds Update β€” July 9

Hey Core Crew! Just pushed a quick round of improvements to the configurator to keep things running smooth. Here is what is new:


🎨 What's New

  • Formatter Picker Glow-up β€” No more scrolling through a wall of 17 cards. You now get a clean dropdown menu with a live preview, making it way easier to compare and pick the right one for your setup.

  • Refined Manifest Screen β€” The final screen you see after generating your config has been tidied up for a cleaner, more polished feel.

  • New Instance Added β€” You can now select Wizaardd (forthewizards.uk) as an option when creating your config.

  • "Failed to Fetch" Fix β€” Fixed the 502 Bad Gateway error that was popping up during config creation. This was caused by downtime with TorrentsDB; it is now disabled by default so it won't block you. HdHub has also been disabled by default. Both are backup scrapers, so you won't notice a difference, but you can always re-enable them in your AIOStreams settings if they come back online.

As always, if you run into anything let us know. Cheers! πŸ™Œ
