Orivio TV

A native tvOS media player, rebuilt in SwiftUI with an Apple-TV-premium feel. Orivio TV is a from-scratch Apple TV port of Orivio — the Android TV Stremio-addon player — and syncs with the same account. Licensed GPLv3, matching the upstream project.

Orivio TV is free and open-source. I'm raising funds to put it on TestFlight so it can be installed without sideloading — if you'd like to help make that happen, donations are hugely appreciated:

→ ko-fi.com/oriviotv

Grab the latest .ipa from Releases:

• OrivioTV-V2(Sideloady).ipa — for Sideloadly and similar sideloaders.
• OrivioTV-0.7.15-tvos.ipa — for Xcode (Devices & Simulators) or Apple Configurator.

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

The upstream app is Kotlin + Jetpack Compose + ExoPlayer/mpv, so nothing could be reused directly; this is a from-scratch reimplementation of the same product:

• Stremio addon ecosystem — Cinemeta ships installed; add any addon by pasting its manifest.json URL in Settings (stremio:// links accepted).
• Orivio design system — the full color token set (all 7 accent themes: Crimson, Ocean, Violet, Emerald, Amber, Rose, White), near-black surfaces, accent focus rings.
• Home — hero backdrop that follows card focus (logo, IMDb badge, meta, description), addon catalog rows, Continue Watching row with resume.
• Search — native tvOS search across every search-capable addon catalog.
• Detail — full-bleed backdrop, logo, meta badges, cast, season picker + episode rows.
• Stream selection — parallel fan-out to all stream addons, grouped by addon with quality badges.

Dual-engine playback with a fully custom UI:

• Native engine (AVPlayer via KSPlayer's KSAVPlayer) — HLS, MP4, MOV, fMP4 on the hardware path.

• FFmpeg engine (KSPlayer's KSMEPlayer) — MKV, AVI, FLV, TS and everything else, with embedded subtitle rendering (text and PGS/VobSub bitmap cues). If the native engine rejects a stream, playback fails over to FFmpeg automatically; the active engine shows in the "via" line of the controls.

• Orivio-style controls — title/episode/via lines, accent progress bar with buffered fill that thickens on focus, circular icon buttons (play, next episode, subtitles, audio, sources, episodes, speed, aspect), elapsed/total readout.

• Infuse-style touchpad scrubbing — with controls hidden, swipe the Siri remote touch surface to glide a preview playhead along the timeline (velocity-adaptive: slow drags get fine precision, flicks accelerate). A floating time bubble shows the target and signed delta; click to seek, Menu to cancel, auto-cancel after 6 s.

• Pause overlay ("You're watching" metadata sheet with cast chips and clock), d-pad ±10 s skips, debounced nudge-seek on the focused timeline, episode/source side panels, audio & subtitle track selection, playback speed, aspect fit/zoom/stretch, Continue Watching persistence.

Requires Xcode 16+ with the tvOS platform installed, plus XcodeGen.

Provider keys are kept out of source control (like the Android app's local.properties). Before building, copy the template and fill in any keys you have — all are optional; with them blank the app still browses and plays via addons, only the Orivio account, Trakt, and TMDB enrichment need them:

cp Secrets.example.swift NuvioTV/Secrets.swift   # then edit NuvioTV/Secrets.swift
xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -project OrivioTV.xcodeproj -scheme OrivioTV \
  -destination 'generic/platform=tvOS Simulator' build

NuvioTV/Secrets.swift is gitignored, so your keys never enter the repo.

To run on a real Apple TV, open OrivioTV.xcodeproj in Xcode, pick your signing team, and run on the device. Dev flags: launch with -playerDemo to open the player against Apple's public HLS test stream (-playerDemoTour walks the overlay states); -detailDemo jumps straight to a Detail screen so cast/trailers/more-like-this enrichment is visible without navigating there by remote.

• Torrent/infoHash-only streams are filtered out (no torrent engine on tvOS); debrid-resolved HTTP links from addons work.
• External-subtitle addons (OpenSubtitles) not wired yet; embedded tracks work on both engines.
• First build downloads the FFmpegKit binary xcframeworks (large) and needs the Metal toolchain (xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain).
