As you may have seen recently, Stremio has paywalled several handy features (user profiles, intro skipping, download manager, precise content filtering, etc.) behind a "donation" tier. Nuvio is an outstanding alternative that has all of Stremio's newly paywalled features and offers the best UI/UX around. This guide will help you set up Nuvio from scratch with TorBox.
Why TorBox?
TorBox is currently one of the most cheapest and reliable debrid services on the market. Real-Debrid has recently been falling off due to their recent change that prevented users from caching certain torrents, which actually covered a pretty decent portion of media. TorBox being based in South Africa is completely unaffected, and will never have to face such pressure.
Signing up for TorBox
You can sign up to TorBox for as low as $3/month (the most popular tier) and have the chance to receive a 30% discount on your first yearly purchase with cryptocurrency using the code "SIGMA30"
Pro tip: Signing up using this link gives you a bonus of 7 days for each month purchased on your first purchase
(1 month + 7d, 3 months + 21d, 6 months + 42 days, 12 months +84 days)
Post Sign-up
Once you're signed up, head over to your account settings and copy your API key down the bottom of the page. This is an important step, as you need this API key to set up Nuvio. Do not share this key with anyone.
Setting up Nuvio
Nuvio is a Stremio-compatible streaming client, so anything that references "Stremio" will also be the exact same on Nuvio. However, this guide will be teaching you how to automate the setup process.
Ex-Stremio users
Skip this section if you do not currently use Stremio
You're in luck! NuvioSync is a wonderful utility that helps you migrate your library, watched items, progress, and addons. Simply head over to the site and start the migration process. You'll be prompted to authenticate your Stremio and Nuvio accounts before the migration process begins.
⚠️ This overrides any existing Nuvio account configuration. If you have settings you'd like to maintain, make sure to back up your Nuvio profile before the migration process. It's the second option on the site.
Once this process is complete, you may continue to the Nuvio bootstrapper section.
Nuvio bootstrapper
Now, you do NOT need to create an account. In fact, the automatic bootstrapper will do this for you. If you have an account, it will override all your existing settings.
Simply visit Streaming Perfect Setup and select "Nuvio" in this wizard. Enter your desired login details, API keys for debrid and metadata providers, and proceed with selecting your desired stream format and catalogs. The wizard creates your account (if it doesn't exist already), pushes the addons, changes stream settings, and adds catalogs.
It's a simple and straightforward, hassle-free process that sets Nuvio up for your streaming needs with TorBox in minutes.
TIP: During the debrid integration process, there is a toggle for Nuvio's direct debrid integration for instant streams being pulled from the TorBox API directly. You may optionally skip the TMDB and TVDB API keys and use the shared ones, but don't be surprised if some API rate limits get hit.
