Platform-specific (iOS only / Android only / Desktop only)

Problem statement

For the love of God, please make a Windows app! After experiencing the pure awesomeness of Nuvio, using Stremio just feels impossible now. Please bring it to PC!

Proposed solution

Bring the dedicated Nuvio TV interface (the leanback large-screen UI) to Windows as a native desktop application.

Key details for the implementation:

  • UI/UX: Fully feature-rich layout optimized for desktop, matching the sleek aesthetic, multi-profile support, and clean "Continue Watching" structures found in NuvioTV.
  • Navigation: Seamless hybrid support for both mouse/keyboard input and standard D-pad controller/keyboard arrow navigation.
  • Engine: A standalone setup (via Electron, Tauri, or a Compose Multiplatform desktop target) that natively handles high-bitrate video decoding, Trakt sync, and the Stremio addon ecosystem without relying on browsers or Android emulators.

Are you planning to implement this yourself?

No, this is only a proposal
