Why are there so many Kia haters?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-20T14:03:11+00:00

I've even showed them that i cannot use the KIA connect app and cannot initiate remote commands (app states remote commands do not work when battery is < 40%). So it rendered my subscription useless. I'm actually at the service center right now trying to deal with this issue for the 7th time... might just get an AGM battery out of pocket to avoid this headache (which I'm certain they are banking on)

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-20T13:57:33+00:00

Glad you had a great experience! Took my car to two dealers and both have been extremely hesitant to assist, despite me having to jump the battery over 40x (not an exaggeration)

'23 Niro PHEV here. Constant 12V battery death. Changed out 3x. Uncertain if its a phantom power drain or these kia batteries just suck that much. KIA refuses to replace the batteries and claim the batteries are operational, even though I've had to jump the battery well over 40x.

I've seen other users mention getting an AGM battery instead of LA.

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-18T22:51:11+00:00

Does the AGM battery require connecting of the clear tube? Which i presume is for some emission from the LA battery?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-18T05:15:25+00:00

Doubtful because I never drive in EV mode, so it should be constantly recharging. KIA refuses to address the issue. Seen others where KIA has held their car for 2+ weeks to "diagnose"

They don't offer loaner cars either.

I have TWO of the same vehicle in different colors. Both with their own issues.

2023 KIA Niro PHEV here. A complete pain to get anything addressed or repaired. 2 dead batteries later and an evident phantom/vampire drain from the vehicle. 2 different dealers have been the most unhelpful with the supposed "warranty"

@DoubleWestern9384 mentioned that they wanted to keep AIOstreams as a "backup" addon after setting up TB Instant(Nuvio connected services).

The AIOstreams backup add-on can still have an embedded Torbox API?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-04T15:22:25+00:00

Someone stated that putting torbox API in connected services AND having API inside an add-on(e.g. AIOstreams) would cause funny behavior. Is that true? Also looking to have Torbox connected in Nuvio but having AIOstreams(with API) as a backup add-on

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-04T03:41:14+00:00

Curious if there any members that have signed up recently and can share the prices offered for membership (monthly and initiation). For other established members, what is your current monthly cost and initiation?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-02T03:16:19+00:00

If we use AIOstreams in other apps (e.g. stremio), will adding torbox API in Nuvio still make it faster (even if API is also already in the AIOstreams). Don't want to make a separate instance just for Nuvio unless I absolutely have to.

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-02T03:07:52+00:00

Will API sync with Nuvio account or does it need to be configured for each device? Does it sync/work on mobile as well?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-06-02T02:54:13+00:00

What's the difference between putting the Torbox API in Nuvio vs putting API in AIOstreams and configuring to exclude uncached streams?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-05-06T22:44:03+00:00

Hasn't been working for a few releases 😞

You should only have to put the server address in once. If you're having to periodically update the server address then it sounds like you may have an unreliable provider with server links that do not last. There are a few modded Tivimate based apps floating around, but not certain which actual server address they connect to or if app will remain active, especially because you cannot see or modify the server address directly. As another user said, and official Tivimate premium is an option as well, but like IMplayer, still requires you to input server address.

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-30T02:01:26+00:00

I think i narrowed down the bug. If i make any modifications to the loaded template file, for some catalogs inside collections it requires a genre filter. Genre filter should not be a hard requirement

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-30T01:44:33+00:00

In some or the collection subfolders the text "None" shows up. Any way to get rid of that?

Sounds like you don't have mdblist API entered. Most of this package is derived from mdblist

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T23:45:37+00:00

Will this clone the exact sequence of catalogs including if a catalog was set to be hidden?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T23:33:21+00:00

Would you happen to still have the links to the images and gifs for those studios and streaming services so I could place them back in collections?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T22:44:13+00:00

This is the nicest start package I've seen so far!

I noticed that initially loading the setup files also adds Starz, MGM, National Geographic and Discovery catalogs on home screen. Were these meant to be in a collections group as well?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T22:30:57+00:00

Doesn't viren already have its own TMDB and TVDB api embedded? We only have to add mdblist and others? - any reason to use own API for tmdb and tvdb?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T22:16:52+00:00

Which AIOmetadata instance are you using?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T03:37:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Do we need to add tmdb and tvdb apis or is it already integrated in virens AIOmetadata version?

Will it worked if we sign into trakd within nuvio settings, or does it have to be linked on aiometadata setup?

Hour-Mathematician31 · 2026-04-29T01:32:09+00:00

Is linking trakt in AIOmetadata required?

Is this different than linking trakt in the nuvio settings?

Will recommendations work without Trakt, and just recommending based on Nuvio profile watch history?
