Best Arvio Addons in 2026: Complete List for Jellyfin, Plex & Stremio on Android TV

Best Arvio Addons in 2026: Complete List for Android TV

Arvio is an Android TV media hub that combines content from multiple sources into a single unified interface. Instead of switching between the Jellyfin app, Plex app, and Stremio app on your TV, Arvio presents everything in one leanback-friendly UI.

But Arvio's power comes from its addon system. Each addon connects a different service or adds functionality. This guide covers every addon worth installing in 2026.

How Arvio Addons Work

Arvio by itself is just a shell - a beautiful TV interface with no content. You add functionality through addons:

1. Open Arvio on your Android TV
2. Go to Settings - Addons
3. Browse the addon catalog or enter a URL
4. Install the addon
5. Configure with your account/server details
6. Content appears on your Arvio home screen

Addons can provide: media libraries, streaming catalogs, live TV, tracking services, or utility features.

Media Server Addons (Connect Your Libraries)

Jellyfin Addon

Connect your self-hosted Jellyfin server. Your entire library appears in Arvio with proper metadata, posters, and watch progress sync.

• Watch sync: Bidirectional (watch in Arvio, progress syncs to Jellyfin)

Arvio vs Individual Apps: Is It Worth It?

FAQ

Is Arvio free? Arvio has a free tier with limited addons and a premium tier that unlocks all addons and features.

Does Arvio replace the Jellyfin app on my TV? It can, but you can keep both installed. Some users prefer the native Jellyfin app for playback and Arvio for browsing/discovery.

Does watching through Arvio affect my Jellyfin watch history? Yes. The Jellyfin addon communicates directly with your server, so all watch progress syncs normally.

Can I use Arvio on a phone or tablet? Arvio is designed for Android TV. On phones/tablets, you are better off using individual apps (Jellyfin, Stremio, etc.).

What Android TV devices work best with Arvio? Nvidia Shield and Google TV Streamer offer the best performance. Fire TV Stick 4K Max works well. Older or budget devices may feel slow with many addons loaded.

Manage the Jellyfin server that powers your Arvio experience. Download JellyWatch on Google Play - monitor streams, approve content requests, and manage your library from your phone.
