No install or infra needed, just paste a link into Nuvio's addon settings, for non-default catalogs, use the browser config page to generate a wrapped link.
This is a small JavaScript addon for Nuvio, a media streaming application. Nuvio lets you browse and watch movies and shows through catalogs, which are lists of titles with poster artwork. This addon replaces those poster images with alternative designs from a site called BetterPosters, which offers a different visual style than the standard posters you would normally see. The addon works by acting as a middleman between Nuvio and an existing catalog source. When Nuvio asks for a list of titles, this addon fetches that list from the original source, then swaps out each poster link to point at a BetterPosters image instead. It only changes the poster artwork. It does not touch the actual streaming links or subtitles, so your viewing experience stays the same. If a title lacks an IMDb identifier, the addon leaves the original poster in place. There are two ways to set it up. The simpler option targets Cinemeta, which is the default catalog that comes with Nuvio. You copy a specific web link into Nuvio's addon settings and then turn off the original Cinemeta addon so you do not see duplicate entries. The second option lets you wrap a different addon instead. You open a configuration page in your browser, paste in the web address of the addon you want to modify, and it generates a new link for you to add to Nuvio. The README includes a clear warning about privacy. The configuration tool encodes the information you enter but does not encrypt it, so you should not paste in private or secret addon links. One limitation is worth noting. Because of how the addon system works, this tool cannot change posters across every addon you have installed all at once. You have to wrap each catalog addon individually, and any artwork that Nuvio has already cached may not update. The project is unofficial and has no connection to Nuvio, Cinemeta, Stremio, or BetterPosters.
A Nuvio addon that swaps movie and show poster artwork for alternative designs from BetterPosters. It sits between Nuvio and your catalog source, replacing poster links while leaving streaming links untouched.
