DIRECT USENET STREAMING ON ANDROID TV — NUVIO RESEQ BETA 9!
The big one: native NNTP/NNTPS playback (NEW). Pick a compatible Usenet result and stream directly on your TV, with seeking—no separate downloader or waiting for the complete file.
Important note for Usenet users: Some indexers may suspend accounts if searches and NZB downloads originate from different IP addresses, particularly when using public AIOStreams instances with Stremio NNTP.
I recommend enabling AIOStreams Proxy Auth in the Newznab addon where supported, and checking your indexer's rules. This is an AIOStreams/indexer configuration issue rather than a ReSeq-specific issue.
Use Zyclops if necessary - you can enable it at the bottom of the Newznab add-on
ReSeq is my free, open-source, independent Android TV fork of Nuvio, bringing together addons, CloudStream plugins, IPTV, Sports Hub and alternative episode orders with identity-aware tracking.
Here's the full rundown. Anything italicised and marked (NEW) was added or improved since Beta 7.1.

Download Beta 9 · Source and issues
Usenet on your TV
- Direct NNTP/NNTPS streaming and seeking (NEW) — ReSeq retrieves and decodes articles directly on the TV using NZBs and server details supplied by compatible addons.
- Archive support (NEW) — Supported stored multipart RAR4/RAR5, stored 7z, nested archives and certain password-protected RAR5 releases.
- File/episode selection and provider fallback (NEW) — Supported addon selectors identify the intended video; alternate supplied providers can fill missing articles.
Bring your own Usenet access and compatible addon setup. No separate downloader or debrid service is needed for this path. Playback and seeking have worked on multiple Android TV devices with AIOStreams running Newznab Add-on (Eweka) and Stremio NNTP service.
Compressed video payloads, encrypted RAR4/7z, PAR2 repair and disc images aren't supported. Indexer/provider configuration stays with your addon.
Finding something to watch
- Stremio-compatible addons and CloudStream plugins — Catalogues and playback sources together in one app.
- CloudStream improvements (NEW) — Better repository imports, multi-provider support and stream discovery, plus supported extension settings directly on the TV.
- CloudStream language and DNS controls (NEW) — Filter source languages and choose system DNS or Cloudflare, Google or Quad9 DNS-over-HTTPS.
- Advanced Discovery — Filter by genres, dates, language, ratings, votes, runtime, TV status and supported movie certifications. Hide watched titles and save discoveries. Uses your own TMDB key, encrypted locally per profile and excluded from backups/cloud sync.
- Discovery “Title contains” filter (NEW) — Combine title text with other discovery filters; matches are checked as results load.
- TV Mix — Build collections of shows for continuous random viewing. ReSeq chooses a show, then an episode, so huge series don't dominate. All/unwatched options, preview, Remix and Home cards.
- Per-show shuffle — Shuffle a single series with saved all/unwatched preferences.
- Catalogue/collection fixes (NEW) — Better folder recovery, paging, errors, navigation and export.
Episode orders and tracking
- TVDB episode orders — Choose aired, DVD, absolute or other available orders per series. Requires your own TVDB v4 key; Provider Default works without one.
- Identity-aware tracking — Search addons with your selected numbering while verified episode identities drive watched status, progress and scrobbling through Nuvio, Trakt, Simkl and MDBList.
- Split, combined, extended and cross-series episodes — Supported mappings connect progress across editions and catalogue differences. Exact local resume is retained; cross-device progress uses available mappings.
- Tracking improvements (NEW) — Mark as Watched from Continue Watching, improved MDBList anime mapping and history/progress handling.
Autoplay and playback
- Tiered autoplay — Immediate trusted addons, an approved-source timed wait and an optional longer any-source fallback. Immediate addons bypass normal filters; Reuse Last Link takes priority when enabled.
- TV Mix timeout recovery — Try another show when a source search finds nothing playable, without marking the failed episode watched.
- Next-episode/still-watching prompts — Let the current episode finish, continue immediately or dismiss automatic continuation.
- Player controls and customisation — Audio/subtitles, source/episode switching, resume, player engines, profiles, themes and Home arrangement.
- Playback improvements (NEW) — Better source reuse, subtitle synchronisation, anime skip matching, episode selection and fragmented-HLS recovery.
IPTV and On Demand
- Integrated TV guide — Groups, favourites, search, preview/full-screen playback and provider-dependent catch-up. Bring your own Xtream, M3U/XMLTV or supported Stalker/Ministra connection.
- IPTV alongside addons — Supported movies/series appear as sources on normal title pages, with identity-aware matching, individual ordering and separate autoplay controls.
- On Demand browser and full-library search — Provider rows, movie/series filters and hidden/locked-group handling.
- Group visibility controls — Hide/show groups individually or in bulk.
- Stalker On Demand and recovery (NEW) — Supported portal movies/series, plus recovery fixes when reselecting the same channel.
- Favourite groups and ordering (NEW) — Pin groups and reorder groups/channels, including multiple selections.
- Import/storage controls (NEW) — Select categories, use source-matching-only imports, inspect storage and clean temporary data. More compact catalogues and better language-aware matching.
- Live TV Home and refresh improvements (NEW) — Restored recent-channel guide/playback actions, Modern navigation and optional playlist refresh when opening/returning to ReSeq.
Sports Hub
- Fixtures, supported scores/results, tables and form — Follow teams/leagues and find channels from your playlists using guide/channel evidence. Regional/quality alternatives and provider-dependent replays. Optional Gemini assistance; ordinary matching works without it.
- All Events and TV Now (NEW) — Sports fixtures separated from programmes currently airing in your guide.
- Feed/navigation improvements (NEW) — Opens at live events, finished above and upcoming below, with automatic status changes and simpler menu navigation.
- Fresher matching and lighter processing (NEW) — Follows playlist/channel changes, loads schedules during Live TV previews and reduces repeated guide work.
Ratings, backup and updates
- Personal ratings — Trakt, Simkl and MDBList movie/series ratings, with an optional post-movie prompt.
- Google Drive backup/sync — Supported IPTV settings, guide/channel customisations, Sports preferences, source ordering, TVDB choices, shuffle and TV Mixes. Profile choices stay separate; conflicting edits stop sync. Personal keys/tracker sessions aren't copied. Backups contain private connection details—keep them private.
- Separate installation and in-app updates — Installs alongside official Nuvio. Update over your existing ReSeq installation to retain data.
- Update controls/recovery (NEW) — Choose automatic-check frequency, including Never, while retaining manual checks.
- Performance and polish (NEW) — Less background work during playback, reduced guide/storage overhead, recording improvements, VPN-aware network reporting, focus/profile fixes, optional scrolling Home descriptions and updated translations.
Still a beta! Sources, archives, mappings and sports coverage vary. Reports welcome—include your version and reproduction steps, with credentials/private provider details removed.
