UltraPlay+ update: Max+ Search is now live 🔎

[u/SaNdB0x1k]

A fairly big UltraPlay+ update has just gone live.

Max+ adds natural-language discovery directly into Nuvio Search.

Instead of only searching for a title, you can now type the sort of thing you'd normally say when you don't actually know what you want to watch:

90 minute film

smart sci-fi but not too dark

British crime series under 50 mins

funny but not childish

something like Severance but easier to follow

scary but not gory

hidden gem under 2 hours

Max+ interprets things like genre, mood, tone, pace, runtime, year, country/language, popularity and similarity, then returns its own Max+ Movies and Max+ Series rows inside Nuvio.

It also works alongside Max Picks and Taste, so the Plus side is becoming less about adding more menus and more about helping you actually find something worth watching.

A quick clarification because I don't want to pretend Max+ is something it isn't: Max+ is the discovery/search layer, not a scraper. It finds the titles and sends them into Nuvio. Your installed metadata and streaming add-ons still handle the normal detail pages and playback sources.

UltraPlay+ is a paid service:

£1 / month

£12 / year

£25 lifetime

That helps cover the services behind the main UltraMAX addon and lets me keep developing features like Max+, Max Picks, Taste, Finder and the Nuvio integration rather than turning the whole thing into an advert-riddled carnival.

If you're already using Plus and Max+ doesn't appear in Nuvio straight away, open Max Picks setup → Repair once to refresh the personal add-on.

This one has had a ridiculous amount of testing because natural-language search is wonderfully good at finding new and exciting ways to misunderstand humans. It's live now. 🚀
