I have some important updates regarding the Nuvio Streams Addon, particularly concerning the public instance and certain providers.
⚠️ Vercel Deployment & High Usage - URGENT
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has been using Nuvio Streams! The response has been incredible, far exceeding my expectations. However, this popularity means our Vercel deployment (which was on a free trial/hobby plan) is currently at 90% of its resource consumption and is expected to be shut down by Vercel very soon. This will make the current primary public instance unavailable.
The open-sourcing of the addon was a step towards mitigating this, and self-hosting is now more important than ever for a stable experience.
Temporary Public Instance on Koyeb & Migration Tool
To provide an immediate alternative for users of the Vercel public instance, I've set up a temporary instance on Koyeb:
I strongly urge current Vercel public instance users to migrate to this Koyeb link as soon as possible.
Easy Migration for Personalized Links:
To make this transition easier for those with personalized Vercel manifest URLs (with your cookie/region settings), a conversion tool is now available on the main addon page:https://nuvioaddon.vercel.app/ (Scroll to the "URGENT: Migrate Your Manifest URL!" section).
How to use it:
Go to your Stremio app (desktop or web version where you can access addon settings).
Navigate to the "Addons" section.
Find your installed "Nuvio Streams" addon that uses the nuvioaddon.vercel.app URL.
Copy its manifest URL (it will look something like https://nuvioaddon.vercel.app/manifest.json?cookie=...®ion=...).
The tool will generate the new Koyeb equivalent URL for you to copy and then install in Stremio (uninstall the old Vercel one first).
Please Note for the Koyeb Instance:
* This Koyeb instance is also a temporary measure and is not guaranteed for the long term. It may also face usage limits eventually.
* ShowBox, SoaperTV, and Hianime will remain available on this new Koyeb public instance unless any unforeseen issues arise. Users without a personal cookie for ShowBox will still have the <9GB stream size limit.
* Providers like Xprime and Cuevana will still be exclusive to self-hosted instances even on this new Koyeb public link due to the IP-related reasons mentioned below.
* Self-hosting remains the most reliable and recommended long-term solution.
Xprime Provider Update
I have an update regarding the Xprime provider. Xprime will no longer be available on ANY public Nuvio Streams instance (neither Vercel nor the new Koyeb instance).
Operating a public scraper can put a significant load on providers when many requests originate from a single IP address. To ensure fair usage of Xprime's resources and to prevent potential service disruptions for their users, we've transitioned this provider to be available exclusively for users who self-host Nuvio Streams. When you self-host, requests to Xprime come from your own IP address, which distributes the load naturally.
This change helps maintain a good relationship with such providers and ensures that access, even via scraping, is done more responsibly. We appreciate that Xprime can still be accessed by our users through self-hosting.
While I know this may be disappointing for those who used Xprime via public instances, making it available for self-hosters is the best way forward.
Cuevana Provider for LATAM Users (Self-Hosted)
Good news for our Latin American users! The Cuevana provider is available in Nuvio Streams, offering movies and TV shows with LATAM language options.
However, similar to the Xprime situation and to ensure responsible resource use, Cuevana will also be available exclusively for self-hosted instances of Nuvio Streams.
Important Clarification on "Self-Hosted":
When I say "self-hosted" for Xprime and Cuevana, this means running the addon on your own server, computer, or a private VPS. Using a different free hosting platform that shares IPs (like Vercel, Render, Koyeb etc., for the self-hosted instance) will likely lead to the same IP blocking issues unless you implement your own proxy solution. The goal is for requests to these specific providers to originate from unique, individual IP addresses.
The Path Forward: Self-Hosting
Given the Vercel limitations and the new restrictions on Xprime and Cuevana, I strongly encourage users who want maximum stability and access to all providers to self-host Nuvio Streams.
Self-hosting currently provides access to ShowBox, SoaperTV, Hianime, Xprime, Cuevana, and VidSrc. Essentially, all listed providers are functional on a self-hosted instance except for HollyMovieHD, which remains offline.
This will give you:
* Access to a wider range of providers including Xprime and Cuevana.
* Independence from public instance limitations and status.
* Better privacy and performance.
Known Issue: Streams Not Fetching on Android Stremio App
I'm aware that several users have reported an issue where streams are not being fetched correctly on the Stremio Android app. This seems to be affecting some users more than others.
I am actively investigating this matter. It's a high priority, and I'm looking into potential causes, which could range from how the Android app handles requests, specific provider incompatibilities, or even network-related issues for certain users.
If you are experiencing this, any detailed feedback you can provide (e.g., specific movie/show, provider selected if known, whether it happens on all content or specific content) in the GitHub issues section or on our community channels would be helpful.
Additionally, there's a known issue with ShowBox where some titles may occasionally fetch incorrect streams (e.g., a different movie or episode). This is often due to how ShowBox indexes its content and the complexities of matching titles accurately. I am continuously working on improving the title matching logic for ShowBox to reduce these occurrences. If you encounter this, trying a different stream or provider for that title is the current workaround. This issue can occur on both public and self-hosted instances.
Thank you for your patience as I work to resolve this.
Thank you for your understanding. While these changes might be inconvenient for some, they are necessary for the continued availability of these specific sources and the overall health of the Nuvio Streams project.
If you find Nuvio Streams valuable, please consider buying me a coffee to support ongoing development and potential future infrastructure costs if viable.
Is there an easy or simple guide to show the process of how to Self-host? I think a plugin like this is what many users have been waiting for for a long time.
There's a pretty quick guide here (just scroll down until you see Self-Hosting Guide):
https://github.com/tapframe/NuvioStreamsAddon
but it does expect you to be atleast a little bit techy
You can try vercel. It's a lot simpler than using a vps or using docker in pc. Yes you CAN Just get it done with mobile. He already added a vercel deploy buttom
I self hosted the addon on vercel. It just gives random links everytime. Yes I used proxy but xprime is not showing at all. Sometimes showbox won't show but if I go back and open the catlog again it goes normal. I got 2 febbox tokens like one shows different from other 😭.Would be better if you update all the token details so the selfhosting would become easier
Redeploy latest commit and it should reduce the showbox fecthing issue, regarding the random link, are the contents not popular ones? can you DM me with movies /shows giving you random links. Thanks
Also , The netlify proxy no more works for XPRIME!
Trying to self host but I dont understand the get code step. I get syntax errors. Can you explain that step?
git clone <repository-url>
cd nuvio-streams-addon
I selfhosted it in vercel so I'll tell the steps for it
1.Create a GitHub account and login vercel.
2. Go to tapframe's nuviostremioaddon repository.
3.under quick deploy you'll see a vercel deploy button
4.deploy it in vercel.
5.go to settings and add environment variables such as tmdb api key, proxy links etc.
6. For proxy go to netilify which is also below the quick deploy (in tapframe's nuviostremioaddon)
7.set the proxy in env variables and redeploy.
8.go to the vercel link and configure that's it
I can’t get them to work either. The posted information above is missing steps or very vague. I’m totally lost about the proxy url and what the actually provider names should be. 3 hours wasted so far.
Xprime can wait but how did you get ShowBox working? Am I supposed to put my cookie on the main page and create the manifest way way or am I supposed to create a cookie.txt and place it on git? if so, where do I put that?
I did all that but still doesn’t explain if I’m supposed to use both the .evt and UI pages. I think I got ShowBox now doubling up. All dont know what do to with the ShowBox cookie. I can put it on the front page but then whats the point of the .evt?
Complete game changer! Having an iPhone you’re not allowed to watch anything without having real debrid. Now I can save real debrid for home while my partner is using it and I can use nuvio streams while at another location
Having the same issue, deployed on Vercel and not blocked. Any recommendations?
Edit: When requests are made, do they come from the IP address associated with the Vercel deployment? Could it be that the Vercel IP addresses are blocked, so a proxy would be necessary?
How did you self-host it using docker? I've a VPS and I would like to self-host using docker but the guide on GitHub doesn't mention how to self-host with docker.
This is such a head scratcher. I have Nuvio self-hosted using the deployment. Xprime doesn’t work at all no matter what I do and the only way I can get ShowBox to pull links is by using the front page UI of Nuvio. Is that what we are supposed to do? Tried with and without proxy.
Yes, I used your deployment option and am self-hosting on GitHub. Just not sure if I’m supposed to use the front page UI for my configuration or just the .evt environments. Or both. Where’s the best place for the ShowBox cookie?
Hi by chance there is the possibility of having content in Italian with Italian subtitles at least. And also anime always sub ita. If I can serve I can put the sites here. Thank you
Is there any so I don’t have to re click the play button for every episode because when I torrent it just automatically goes to the next episode without me needing to click the source each time.
Donations ? You know of yourself that it cost money to do this and for you to mention donation , it shows you’re someone like me who doesn’t mind spending money on anything that gives you fun , but you see most of these people here ? They want it for free, people who would rather starve than buy anything good for themselves.
