Product guides

Android TV setup guides for your media services.

Start with the free Android app, run ARVIO Web on your own server, or choose managed browser hosting. These guides help you connect your own sources and get a working setup on the device you use.

Free browser setup

Self-host with Docker or Node.js

Actual setup commands, your own API keys, local profiles, network access and updates. No ARVIO subscription required.

Browser playback checklist

Separate source access from format problems, test live TV and home servers, and check the device you actually use.

Start with a JSON template, host it free on GitHub, import it by URL, or add a Trakt or MDBList catalog. Direct file uploads are not yet supported.

Build and share

Design one Home row with up to eight folders, copy its JSON for ARVIO, and share a public preview link. No account required.

Software, not content

ARVIO does not host, provide, sell, bundle or redistribute media, channels, playlists or streams. You connect services, servers and files you are authorized to use. Availability, quality and playback depend on those sources and your device.

Free and open source on Android.

Install from Google Play or inspect the complete project on GitHub.
