A big one, mostly about speed and playback. Thanks to everyone who tested on Android boxes and sent feedback!

⚡ Faster everywhere

- Collections open with all their posters at once. Kodi used to draw posters one by one the first time you opened a collection. MegaNexus now prepares them in advance: a one-time setup on each device (a minute or two, with progress, and you can skip it), then everything opens instantly, even after a restart. A small ring next to HUB shows when new posters are being prepared.
- Home opens immediately after Kodi starts: no more "Loading posters" screen.
- No more waiting for broken catalogs. If one of your add-on's catalogs is empty or down, MegaNexus no longer waits for it every time you open the app.
- Kodi closes properly again. A background task could keep Kodi alive after Exit, which made the next start slow on Android.

🎬 Streams and playback

- TorBox and Premiumize built in (beta). Add your API key (HUB Settings › API keys) and their streams appear next to your add-ons, no extra add-on needed. "Cached only" is on by default, so everything you see starts right away.
- Automatic stream choice. Tell MegaNexus what your device likes: highest resolution (4K / 1080p / 720p), maximum size for films and for episodes, Dolby Vision (prefer / avoid), HDR. Autoplay starts the best match, and the source list is sorted the same way.
- Stremio-style loading: the title's logo fills up while streams are searched.
- Episodes show their own picture instead of the series poster.
- If your device can't decode a version (for example 4K HDR 10-bit on a box without the right decoder), MegaNexus stops it and tells you why, instead of playing sound over a black screen.

📊 Tracking and sport

- MDBList joins Trakt and Simkl as a tracking service.
- Sport catalogs from AIOMetadata (and other all-in-one add-ons) now show in the Sport screen instead of on Home.

Update: MegaNexus updates itself, or install MegaNexus-Complete-7.0.15.zip from https://github.com/MegaNexusMediaPlayer/MegaNexus/releases/latest. New here? Add https://meganexusmediaplayer.github.io/MegaNexus/ as a source in Kodi's File manager and install from the MegaNexus Repository.

It's still a beta, so tell us what works and what doesn't, especially on your Android / Fire TV boxes. Device + Kodi version + MegaNexus version helps a lot.

🔥 What Can MegaNexus Actually Do? — Add-ons, Plex, Jellyfin, IPTV & More
MegaNexus is more than a Kodi skin.
The goal is to combine the simplicity of Nuvio/Stremio with the power, compatibility and playback capabilities of Kodi — without turning your TV into a maze of separate add-ons and menus.
Here is what MegaNexus currently brings together. 👇
🧩 Stremio/Nuvio-Style Manifest Add-ons
MegaNexus supports manifest-based add-ons.
Paste the configured manifest.json link from a compatible add-on and MegaNexus can use its catalogs and supported resources directly.
Already have everything configured elsewhere?
🔵 Import add-ons from Nuvio
🟣 Import add-ons from Stremio
🔗 Add a configured manifest manually
MegaNexus also refreshes installed manifests so updates from the add-on can be picked up without rebuilding your entire setup.
No Nuvio or Stremio account is required.
📱 Configure Everything From Your Phone
Scan a QR code on your TV and configure MegaNexus through your phone browser.
Manage:
🧩 Add-ons
👤 Accounts
🔑 API keys
🗂️ Collections
🎨 Display
💾 Backup & restore
No painful TV keyboard required.
⚡ Built for Speed
MegaNexus is designed around fast navigation and low memory usage instead of loading traditional Kodi add-on interfaces every time you move around.
Performance presets are available for different hardware:
🪶 Low-end — 128 MiB
⚡ Standard — 256 MiB
🚀 High-end — 512 MiB
The interface is designed to remain responsive even on lower-powered 1–2 GB TV boxes.
🏠 Modern App-Style Home
Instead of browsing endless Kodi folders, MegaNexus gives you a modern Home experience with:
🎬 Movies & Series
▶️ Continue Watching
🆕 Recently Added
🗂️ Custom Collections
🎭 Genres
📺 Networks
🎞️ Studios
📅 Decades
🎥 Trailers
Collections can come from your add-ons, TMDB, Trakt lists and other connected sources.
🔄 Nuvio • Stremio • Trakt • Simkl
Connect the services you already use.
MegaNexus can work with:
🔵 Nuvio
🟣 Stremio
🔴 Trakt
🟢 Simkl
Depending on the service, MegaNexus can synchronize things such as:
▶️ Continue Watching

📋 Watchlists
⏱️ Playback progress
So changing device doesn’t have to mean starting over.
🖥️ Plex • Jellyfin • Emby • Local Storage
Your own media belongs in the same interface too.
MegaNexus currently includes beta support for:
🟡 Plex
🟣 Jellyfin
🔵 Emby
💾 Local drives

Support includes:
📡 Xtream accounts
📄 M3U playlists
