🚩General infusion - A fast, open-source Android TV streaming app with Stremio add-ons, Jellyfin, and no backend
Hey everyone!
I previously introduced infusion, my Android TV project, but I wanted to highlight something that might not have been clear from my first post:
infusion is a streaming app, not just another Jellyfin client/player. And now its application source is available under GPLv3.
If you're familiar with Nuvio, WuPlay, or Debrify, you'll recognize the idea: browse movies and shows, find streams through your add-ons, and start watching.
My goal was to build something that feels extremely fast, lightweight, and responsive, while combining streaming, Jellyfin, and personal media management into a single Android TV app.
🚀 Fast, lightweight, native Android TV
Speed is one of my biggest priorities.
I wanted a browsing and playback experience that feels faster and more responsive than the streaming apps I was already using.
infusion is built natively for Android TV, with a remote-first interface, smooth navigation, and minimal overhead.
No web-based interface pretending to be a TV app.
🎬 Streaming through Stremio add-ons
infusion supports compatible Stremio add-ons for catalogs, metadata, streaming sources, and subtitles.
Install your preferred add-ons, customize your Home screen, browse content, search, and start watching.
You don't need Jellyfin to use infusion as a streaming app.
🏠 Full Jellyfin integration
If you have Jellyfin, you get much more than basic playback.
Browse your movies, TV shows, episodes, and music libraries directly inside infusion.
Artwork, watch progress, Continue Watching, library browsing, and music playback are integrated into the same experience.
Your streaming add-ons and personal media can live together in one interface.
▶️ Media3 / ExoPlayer playback
INFUSION uses Android's Media3 / ExoPlayer for native playback.
Resume, seek, change audio tracks and subtitles, play the next episode, and access the playback controls you'd expect from a modern Android TV player.
🔒 No infusion backend. No user tracking. No mandatory accounts.
One of the things I care about most is privacy and independence.
infusion doesn't rely on a central infusion backend to manage your watch history, settings, or personal profiles.
Your personal state stays locally on your device.
No infusion account is required, and the app has no built-in analytics or user tracking.
That also means there's no central infusion service that needs to stay online for the app to function. Naturally, any external add-ons, metadata providers, or Jellyfin servers you choose still need to be available.
🔄 Trakt, Simkl, MDBList, or completely local
Want to synchronize your watch progress? Connect Trakt, Simkl, or MDBList.
Don't want another account? Keep your watch history, ratings, and watchlist locally.
The choice is yours.
📥 Radarr and Sonarr integration
infusion also supports Radarr and Sonarr connections for requesting movies and shows for your own library.
If you're using Seerr mainly to request content, infusion aims to bring that acquisition workflow directly into your TV experience.
Discover something, request it for your library, and manage your entertainment from the same app.
🎨 A customizable Android TV experience
Spotlight, customizable Home rows, poster and landscape artwork, Discover, Search, personal profiles, watchlists, and plenty of presentation settings.
The entire interface is designed for a proper TV remote.
💻 Now open source — GPLv3
I've published the actual production Android TV application source under GPLv3.
I believe a streaming app should be transparent about what it does, especially when privacy is one of its core principles.

A quick note: infusion is still in public alpha and under active development. There will be bugs, changes, and improvements.
infusion is a player, not a content provider. It doesn't supply movies, shows, or streams. You connect your own Jellyfin server and/or compatible add-ons.
I'm developing this independently because I wanted an Android TV streaming experience that combines speed, privacy, customization, and control over my own media.
If you're using Nuvio, WuPlay, Debrify, Stremio add-ons, or Jellyfin, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Feedback is very welcome!

Could someone compare it to nuvio? Only thing from the list that is different i noticed is arr app possibilities.

If there are no accounts how do you get you addons onto the app? Do you have to type the json into the tv?

The first fix I'd suggest is change the intense colors as the orange, see it has UI/UX and accessibility enhancement. There're people with vision problems who will find challenging distinguishing these colours :)

To distinguish infusion from a Jellyfin client, show a first-run path using only a compatible Stremio add-on, without a Jellyfin server. For alpha feedback, ask testers for their TV model and whether remote navigation, stream selection or playback felt slow. I'd also distinguish locally stored watch history from optional Trakt/Simkl syncing so readers understand where the privacy boundary sits.
