Nuvio Arc is my experimental fork of Nuvio for trying new ideas, not a replacement for the official app. It runs on the same boxes and works best on stronger ones. It's a one-person hobby project: report problems or ideas in this repo's Issues (best effort) or at r/NuvioForks, and please don't report issues from this build to the official Nuvio GitHub or Discord.

A hotfix on top of Nuvio Arc 1.1.0-nt.7.4, still built on official NuvioTV 1.1.0-beta.7. It installs over nt.7.4 and keeps all your settings.

Heavy 4K remuxes on 2 GB boxes like the Fire TV Stick 4K Max kept stopping to load on nt.7.4. While thumbnails were being made, Automatic speed-up held back its read-ahead to leave them memory, for the whole film, even when the thumbnails had already given up. This fixes that and gives these boxes more buffer ahead.

Fixed

• Remuxes on 2 GB boxes play smoothly again. Once the film is playing, Automatic speed-up reads ahead with the memory it has, as it did before nt.7.4. Thumbnails now only decode with the memory that is left over, so the film always comes first.
• More buffer ahead when memory is tight. When there is only room for a back buffer shorter than 10 seconds (less than one skip back), Arc now gives that memory to the buffer ahead instead. A short back buffer you set yourself is kept when it fits.
• Remuxes on 2 GB boxes start on five downloads, also from a server Arc hasn't seen before, so the first minutes no longer stop to load while it works its way up.
• Automatic speed-up remembers the real server behind an add-on. Add-ons like StremThru or Comet hand out files from different services. Arc now notices which server the film really comes from and starts on what worked there last time, instead of mixing up, say, Premiumize and TorBox behind the same add-on.

Install

The update banner in the app installs this release for you. Or download the APK for your device below and install it over the top (your data is kept):

• app-full-arm64-v8a-release.apk for most current boxes (Shield, Ugoos, Google TV).
• app-full-armeabi-v7a-release.apk for the Fire TV Stick and other 32-bit devices.

Nuvio Arc installs over earlier Nuvio Arc and Nuvio-test builds, keeps all your settings, profiles and sign-ins, and still installs next to the official Nuvio. Version 1.1.0-nt.7.4.1, package com.nuvio.tv.test.
