Setup Wizard Overhaul & Collections Rework
Latest
Complete rebuild of Steps 1, 2 and 3 — new category builder, collection presets, welcome modal and token restore flow.
Step 2 Rebuilt — Home Rows is now a full category builder. 7 preset packs, 13 category accordion cards with progress bars, live Nuvio home screen preview and Hide All / Unhide All controls.
Step 3 Rebuilt — Collections now has visual preset cards with poster strips, compact sticky preset bar, improved collection card styling and friendly catalog names throughout.
Welcome Modal — Setup page now opens with a full-screen "New Setup / Load Existing" choice. Token entry and password verification happen in one smooth flow.
Token Restore — Loading a token now shows a password modal, autofills credentials on success, lands on Step 1 and shows a summary toast (X rows, X collections loaded).
Collections Export Fixed — Nuvio collections JSON now correctly populates sources with provider/addonId/catalogId. Folders load properly in Nuvio with correct catalog types for MDB and Trakt IDs.
Landing Page — Collections preview section replaces the old Nuvio mockup rows. Eclipse, BeatBoss and Max Music consolidated into one ecosystem section.
Step 4 Rework — Finalize page now clearly separates Addon URL (catalogs) and Nuvio JSON (collections) into two distinct panels so users know exactly what each does.
500+ Catalogs — New actors, directors, streaming services, genres and horror subgenres added. Proper images across all FOLDER_MEDIA entries using kao-xt.com and ultramax.vip/images/quick/.
Gzip Compression — Manifest responses now compressed, reducing transfer size significantly for faster addon loading.
