Using Quvito

User guide

Everything you can do once you're set up. New here? Start with the setup guide first.

Getting around

The top tabs are your map. Which ones appear depends on what your sources provide:

• Home — your discovery hub: Continue Watching plus Popular and Trending rows.
• Live — channels and the TV guide.
• Movies and Series — your on-demand library.
• My Library — favorites, your lists, and Downloads.
• Search — find anything across every loaded source.
• Settings — providers, integrations, profiles and preferences (hidden on kids profiles).

Your library appears instantly from a local snapshot and refreshes quietly in the background — playback never waits on metadata.

Watching

Click any poster to open its page, then press Play. While playing:

• Resume — Quvito remembers where you stopped and offers to continue; titles you're partway through show up in Continue Watching.
• Subtitles & audio — pick subtitle and audio tracks from the player. With an OpenSubtitles key, extra languages are fetched on demand.
• Subtitle auto-sync — if subtitles drift out of sync, Quvito can offer to re-sync them to the audio; you approve before anything changes.

Home & search

Home collects Continue Watching and — when TMDB is connected — Popular and Trending movies and series so there's always something to jump into. Prefer to start elsewhere? You can turn Home off in Settings → Preferences and open straight into Live or your Library.

Search looks across every connected source at once. Results are grouped by type so you can tell a live channel from a movie from an episode.

Favorites & Continue Watching

Tap the heart on any title to add it to Favorites, found under My Library. Continue Watching tracks anything you've started but not finished and keeps your position up to date as you watch, so you can pick up on the exact frame.

Live TV & the guide

The Live tab lists your channels with a scrolling TV guide (EPG) showing what's on now and next. Click a channel to start watching; click a programme in the guide to see its details.

• Recent channels and favorites keep the ones you watch most within reach.
• Refresh — if a live stream stalls, the Refresh button restarts it cleanly from a fresh point.
• Guide fixups — if a channel's guide is wrong, you can pin it to a better community guide, the provider's own guide, or none.

Recording & DVR

Quvito can record live TV to your recordings folder.

• Record a programme — in the guide, pick a show and press Record, or use the Record button while watching.
• Schedule & recurring — set a timer, or a series rule that auto-records every airing of a show and skips duplicate episodes.
• Commercial skip — finished recordings are scanned for ad breaks; the player then offers Skip, or jumps them automatically.
• Catch-up — where your provider supports it, you can play programmes that already aired.

Sports multiview

Watch several channels at once. Arrange a grid, then save it as a multiview preset to bring back your favorite set of games in one click. Recorded matches support spoiler protection — the duration and timeline stay hidden until you choose to reveal them, so a long recording doesn't give away that the game went to overtime.

Series & movies

Series pages list seasons and episodes with watched ticks and a Play button that jumps to your next unwatched episode. Extras that make binges smoother:

• Skip intro — teach a show where its intro ends once, and Quvito offers to skip it on every episode after.
• Seek-preview thumbnails — scrub recordings and downloads with a thumbnail preview so you land exactly where you want.

Downloads

Use the Download button on a movie or episode to save it for offline / smoother playback. Downloads land in your chosen folder and appear under My Library → Downloads, where series are grouped by show. Every download button opens a version picker so you can choose quality or source.

Music

Point Quvito at a music folder and it becomes a proper, audiophile-friendly player. Browse by artist, album or playlist, mark the tracks you like, and open the full-screen Now Playing with lyrics, an up-next queue you can reorder or trim, and a live visualizer.

Under Settings → Preferences → Playback you get real control over how it sounds:

• Gapless playback — remove the short silence between tracks; ideal for live albums, classical and DJ mixes.
• Crossfade — fade the ending track into the next, adjustable from 0 to 12 seconds.
• Volume normalization — level loudness across tracks using each track's ReplayGain tag (or measured once on first play), so a quiet song isn't followed by a blaring one.
• Graphic equalizer — shape the sound to your taste.
• Output device — send audio to whichever device you choose, and control volume and mute right in the player.
• Exclusive mode — bit-perfect WASAPI output that bypasses the OS mixer and resampling for the purest signal. While it's on, the EQ, gapless, crossfade and normalization step aside, since those need the shared audio path.

Trakt scrobbling

Connect your Trakt.tv account and everything you finish is sent to your Trakt history automatically, keeping your watched list in sync across the services you use. It's set up per profile.

Profiles

Switch profiles from the profile menu — the app reloads your library, favorites and Continue Watching in place, without a full restart. PIN-locked profiles ask for the PIN first. Each device remembers which profile it uses and which one to start on.

Personalize

• Accent color — under Appearance, pick an accent and Quvito derives a matching theme. This is per-device, so each PC can look how you like.
• Home tab — turn the discovery Home tab on or off.
• Playback preferences — tune default subtitle languages and playback behavior under Preferences.

Getting help

Something not working? Under Settings → About & Legal you can view logs to see what happened, and the Terms and Privacy details live there too. This is an early alpha, so please send anything rough our way — your reports directly shape what gets fixed next.
