## What is WuPlay?

[WuPlay](https://wuplay.app) is a Stremio-compatible streaming client that works with all Stremio add-ons — including AIOStreams and Core Builds. Available on Android TV, Google TV, and Fire Stick. Supports Chromecast casting, Trakt integration, and configurable layouts.

**Current version:** v0.7.3-beta

**Use WuPlay when:**

* You want a dedicated streaming app on Android TV / Fire Stick / Chromecast
* You prefer a different UI from Stremio with built-in genre browsing and binge groups
* You need Chromecast casting support

## Quick Import

Already have a TorBox account and a configured AIOStreams template? Four steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy your manifest URL">
    Open your AIOStreams instance → your manifest URL is shown at the top of the config page. Copy it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your Profile Key">
    In WuPlay, go to **Settings → Configuration**. Your **Profile Key** is displayed at the top (e.g. `a1b2c3`). Note it down.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the WuPlay configurator">
    Scan the **QR code** on the Configuration screen to open the configurator pre-linked to your device — or go to [config.wuplay.app/configure](https://config.wuplay.app/configure/) manually and enter your Profile Key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the manifest as an add-on">
    In the configurator under **Add-ons**, paste your AIOStreams manifest URL and save. The add-on syncs to your WuPlay app automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Full Beginner Walkthrough

### 1. Install WuPlay

Download WuPlay using **downloader code `5781040`** on your device, or get it from:

* **Android TV / Google TV / Fire Stick** → sideload via [WuPlay releases](https://github.com/wuplayapp/wuplay-releases)

### 2. Get a TorBox subscription

Sign up at [torbox.app](https://torbox.app/subscription?referral=d1ccddb0-f094-45ca-b52b-942a2635855e). You need at least a **Standard** plan. Go to **Dashboard → API Keys** and copy your API key.

### 3. Choose and import a template

1. Go to the [Template Directory](/template-directory)
2. Click **Import on ElfHosted** or **Import on Fortheweak** next to your chosen template
3. AIOStreams opens with the template pre-loaded

Not sure which template? See [Which Template?](/which-template). For most people: **4K Apex** (4K) or **Stream** (1080p).

### 4. Configure AIOStreams

In AIOStreams:

1. Go to **Services** → toggle **TorBox** ON → paste your API key
2. *(Optional)* Add a TMDB Access Token from [themoviedb.org/settings/api](https://www.themoviedb.org/settings/api)
3. Click **Save**

### 5. Copy your manifest URL

After saving, AIOStreams shows your **manifest URL**. Copy it. It looks like:

```
https://aiostreams.elfhosted.com/stremio/abcdef1234/manifest.json
```

### 6. Find your WuPlay Profile Key

Open WuPlay on your device and go to **Settings → Configuration**. Your **Profile Key** is shown at the top of the screen. A **QR code** is also displayed — scan it with your phone to open the WuPlay configurator directly, pre-linked to your device.

</Frame>

<Warning>
  If you lose your Profile Key, you cannot recover your profile. Save it somewhere safe.
</Warning>

### 7. Add the add-on via WuPlay configurator

1. **Scan the QR code** shown on the Configuration screen to open the configurator pre-linked to your device — or go to [config.wuplay.app/configure](https://config.wuplay.app/configure/) manually and enter your **Profile Key**
2. Navigate to **Add-ons**
3. Paste your AIOStreams manifest URL
4. Save — the add-on syncs to your WuPlay app automatically

### 8. Start streaming

Go back to WuPlay on your device. Browse movies and shows → select a title → pick a stream. The Core Builds formatter shows resolution, codec, audio, and file size for each stream. To cast, use the Chromecast icon in the player controls.

<Tip>
  WuPlay uses the same manifest URL as Stremio and Nuvio — you can use all three clients with the same AIOStreams config. Changes you make in AIOStreams apply to all of them.
</Tip>

## Troubleshooting

* **No streams appearing** → Make sure your manifest URL is correct and your TorBox API key is active in AIOStreams
* **Add-on not syncing** → Verify your Profile Key is correct in the configurator at [config.wuplay.app](https://config.wuplay.app/configure/)
* **Cast not working** → Ensure your Chromecast and WuPlay device are on the same Wi-Fi network
* **Streams buffer or stall** → Try a [Speed](/template-directory#speed-torbox) or [Flash](/template-directory#flash) template for faster cached results
* **FLAC audio issues** → WuPlay v0.7.3+ automatically transcodes FLAC tracks (ExoPlayer limitation)
* **"No compatible streams" on resume** → Fixed in v0.7.3 — update WuPlay if you see this
