PencariMovie Server – Self-hosted streaming server & Nuvio media bridge

Hey everyone,

I've been working on hosting PencariMovie Server, an open-source media bridge and local streaming server designed to stream directly into media apps like Nuvio, Stremio, or modern browsers.

Instead of needing separate external download managers or manual file transfers, it runs locally (or in a lightweight container) as a high-performance streaming backend with native HTTP range support and sub-second stream resolution.

Below is example setup for direct integration into media players. If you already have an HTTPS AioStreams manifest configured supplied by me, you do not have to do anything.

Live Demo (Manifest)

Install URL:
https://stream.pencarimovie.com/66ff097863dedb7ccd8401d5ffe616f3/manifest.json

(Note: This is hosted on a free/shared demo server — please go easy on it so it doesn't get overwhelmed and drop offline! For regular use, self-hosting or running the local app is strongly recommended.)

📺 Stremio, Nuvio & Eclipse Music Setup

1. Stremio Setup

  1. Local Sync (Recommended): Click Install via Stremio API Sync to push the addon across all your Stremio devices automatically with 1 click.
  2. Manual / Web: Copy your manifest URL (ex:http://<LAN-IP>:8088/manifest.json or http://<SERVER-IP>:8088/<token>/manifest.json on public servers) and paste it into Stremio's Addon search box.

2. Nuvio Setup

  1. Open Nuvio on your TV, phone, or tablet connected to the same Wi-Fi.
  2. Go to Profile ➔ Content & Discovery ➔ Addons.
  3. Enter your manifest URL:
    • Local Wi-Fi / LAN:ex: http://<YOUR-LAN-IP>:8088/manifest.json
    • Remote / VPS / Tunnel:ex: http://<YOUR-SERVER-IP>:8088/<token>/manifest.json (or your HTTPS tunnel URL).

3. Eclipse Music Setup

  1. Open the Eclipse Music app (https://eclipsemusic.app) on your device.
  2. Go to Settings ➔ Connections ➔ Add Connection ➔ Addon.
  3. Enter your Eclipse manifest URL:ex: http://<YOUR-LAN-IP>:8088/eclipse/manifest.json (or http://127.0.0.1:8088/eclipse).
  4. Search and stream tracks directly with direct seekable playback.


Highlights:

  • Plug & Play: Connects automatically out of the box — no mandatory complex setup or phone verification required to start.
  • Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, Linux, Android (native APK & Termux), Docker, or 1-click cloud instances (Railway, Render, Orkestr, Heroku).
  • Nuvio Support: Seamlessly serves media as a standard addon endpoint (/manifest.json), letting you stream directly in your preferred media player.
  • Zero Config Network Discovery: Automatically generates LAN and tunnel manifests so you can run the server on your PC or server and watch on Android TV, Google TV, or mobile devices on your home network.
  • Privacy & Self-Hosted: Runs entirely under your control with local token authentication.

Everything is open source under MIT. Full documentation, installation commands, Docker configurations, and architecture details are in the repo:
