// Captured on iPad — actual ARVIO Web UI

Browsers decode fewer formats than a native media player. Compatible media from your connected services can play in the browser; heavy 4K HEVC, Dolby Vision, REMUX files, lossless audio and some live TV providers may require the one-tap VLC handoff on iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS or Windows. Device and provider support varies.

Setup roadmap

From fresh install to a synced TV home.

Follow the path in order: create your space, connect sync, add your authorized libraries and services, then tune playback once.

03 Playback polish and troubleshooting
ARVIO provides media-management software only. It does not host, sell, bundle or provide media, provider accounts, playlists or streams. Connect only services and files you own or are authorized to access. Torrent-based sources are not supported.

10 / Questions

Questions before you install.

Is ARVIO free? Are there ads?
The Android/TV app is free and open source, with no ads, third-party behavioral analytics, or gated app features. Release builds can send limited crash diagnostics and one pseudonymous daily app-open event to help maintain reliability. This can be disabled per device in Settings. The one optional paid service is ARVIO Premium, the browser interface for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and more, at $2.99/month because it uses hosted infrastructure and bandwidth. The Android app never requires it.
What data does ARVIO collect, and can I opt out?
An ARVIO Cloud account is optional. If you create one, ARVIO stores your email, a password hash, and the profiles and settings you choose to sync. Release builds can also send limited crash diagnostics and a pseudonymous app-open event at most once per day. Screenshots, view hierarchy, network breadcrumbs, and user-interaction breadcrumbs are disabled, and app diagnostic logs are sanitized. Crash transport can still involve an IP address, so reports are not described as anonymous. You can turn diagnostics and usage reporting off in Settings without affecting playback or cloud sync. Read the complete Privacy Policy or delete cloud data at auth.arvio.tv/delete.
What is ARVIO Web and what does it cost?
The ARVIO media-management interface in your browser at web.arvio.tv on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and more. Profiles, Library and progress sync with the app. Compatible media from your authorized connected services can be played or downloaded when the provider permits it. A one-time 3-day trial starts after you connect ARVIO Cloud. It then costs $2.99/month via Ko-fi membership. Browsers cannot decode every format, so some authorized files may require the one-tap VLC handoff.
Does ARVIO provide media or subscriptions?
No. ARVIO is software for organizing and using services configured by the user. It does not host, store, sell, bundle or redistribute movies, series, channels, playlists or streams, and it does not include provider accounts. Built-in integrations are limited to metadata, subtitles and account connections. Users must have permission to access every connected service and file.
Which devices are supported?
Android TV and Google TV are first‑class — Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, Onn 4K, Walmart Onn, most Sony Bravia and TCL sets. Android phones and tablets get the companion UI. ARVIO Premium extends the experience to browsers on Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Chromebook, Apple TV, webOS and more.
What about codec support? Dolby? HDR?
ExoPlayer (Media3) with the FFmpeg extension covers AV1, HEVC, VP9, H.264, AAC, AC3, EAC3, TrueHD, DTS where the device's audio pipeline allows passthrough. HDR10 and Dolby Vision depend on your hardware. Subtitles: SRT, VTT, ASS/SSA, PGS.
Do I need a media server?
A home server is optional. ARVIO can organize metadata, tracker lists and other services you configure, but playback always requires an authorized server, provider, file or integration connected by the user. ARVIO Cloud, Trakt and Simkl sync are optional.
How do I install the APK directly?
Grab the latest APK from GitHub releases. On Android TV, enable "Install unknown apps" for your file manager, then sideload. The Play Store path is recommended for auto‑updates.
