Release Orivio TV v6 — redesign, SIMKL, Picture in Picture · prehakanson-art/OrivioTVAppleTV

The biggest release yet — a new name, a complete redesign, two new sync services, and a long stability pass across the whole app.

🎨 NuvioTV is now Orivio — with a full redesign

The theme system is gone. All seven themes were removed in favor of one polished, native design used everywhere — no more picking a look, no more per-theme bugs.
Liquid Glass navigation rail — a floating translucent sidebar that gets out of the way while you browse; content slides clear of it and tab switches crossfade.
New Fusion home — a cinematic hero billboard with rotating spotlight titles (logo, rating, metadata), backdrop art that's pre-warmed so it's never visibly loading, and rebuilt catalog rows.
Redesigned details page — fixed title header, full-bleed backdrop, cast row, season/episode picker with raised, sheened episode stills. Pressing Play from home lands directly on the Play button with no focus hopping or icon flashing.
Redesigned player — one consistent scrim, the app's own motion curves, and a lighter control HUD.
One motion system — focus lift, glow, and control animations all run on shared design tokens, and the system Reduce Motion setting is honored app-wide.

Sign in to SIMKL from Settings (next to Trakt).
Watch history, watchlist, and ratings sync both ways.
Runs alongside Trakt — use either or both.
Every connected service now syncs immediately when something changes locally (finish an episode, rate a title, add to your list) and on any sign-in, instead of waiting for the next timer.

PiP on Apple TV, on every engine — native, FFmpeg, and Dolby Vision playback can all go picture-in-picture, with play/pause/mute from the PiP window.

Continue Watching now appears on the tvOS home screen above the app row.
Each title shows how far in you are with a progress bar.
PIN-locked profiles stay off the Top Shelf — nothing leaks to the home screen.

Welcome screen on first launch, with a real path for "Use without an account."
Add add-ons from your phone — no more typing manifest URLs with the Siri remote. Default add-ons are guaranteed present.
Import a full setup export in one step.
Email + password sign-in for both Orivio and Stremio accounts.
Added add-ons show their name and logo, not a raw URL.

Collections always appear on Home; if TMDB/Trakt isn't connected yet, opening one tells you exactly what to set up — either service is enough, and when both are connected TMDB is used for richer artwork and metadata.
Each folder explains its own missing connection instead of one generic message for the whole collection.
Folder tabs are reachable from anywhere in the grid, and returning from a title no longer reloads the whole collection.
Big collections load progressively — the folder you're looking at is fetched first, and tapping an unloaded tab fetches it on demand.
Collection focus artwork is on by default on all devices (still configurable in Settings → Performance).

Preferred audio language now works reliably on every engine — including streams that announce their audio tracks late.
Commentary and described-video tracks are never auto-selected, on any engine.
Faster playback start: source resolution sped up, the source list paints a skeleton immediately, and Real-Debrid polling backs off properly.
Auto Link Selector: "Avoid Dolby Vision" is now off by default — the DV pipeline handles profiles 5, 8, and 7 now, so DV sources are fair game for auto-play.
Search results are ordered by add-on capability, not by whichever add-on answers first.

Much faster launch — home paints instantly from cache, one reload instead of several, one store decode per profile.
Artwork loading sped up and given per-device memory budgets; full-bleed backdrops are capped on older hardware.
Older Apple TVs (HD / 4K gen 1) get tuned defaults: lighter effects, smarter source ranking (codec-aware on the HD), and bigger playback buffers.

A multi-tier bug audit across the whole app fixed dozens of defects: lost watch progress, sync operations bleeding across profiles, playback state glitches, add-on URL handling, cache scoping, and plugin issues.
Fixed the crash/freeze when exiting the player (a memory bug in the PiP bridge).
Hold-Select menus (Continue Watching and elsewhere) were audited and fixed — they present reliably now.
Fixed the navigation dead-ends: the details page's idle trailer eating remote presses, focus bouncing off the synopsis, and several focus-visibility defects.
Dolby Vision engine hardening: end-of-stream handling (the last seconds of a film are no longer cut), seek correctness, and decoder-failure fallback.

Both IPAs are the same unsigned arm64 tvOS build (Apple TV HD / 4K, tvOS 17+); your sideloading tool re-signs on install.

OrivioTV-V6.Sideloadly.ipa — for Sideloadly and similar tools. Uses the historical bundle id, so existing installs update in place with data intact.
OrivioTV-V6.Sideload.ipa — generic sideload build with the project's own bundle id.
