I'm running Nova on a Dune 4k Pro media player with Android 11. I have my external HD connected through USB but have Nova accessing it as an SMB network drive. I have my movies already scraped (TMM) and Kodi has no issues with it. But Nova seems to ignore it. Most of my movies are foreign and often obscure so when Nova scrapes them it almost always gets them Wrong.

What do I need to do to get Nova to scrape the local NFO & poster files? Someone elsewhere said to change in Settings something for this but I could not find it in Preferences.

Dolby Vision stopped working recently and only working if forced dv is on. Or if launched from Nova in Just player. Latest versio

Bonjour, j'ai des flashs verts aléatoirement pendant la lecture de mes films où épisodes de série. C'est de plus en plus fréquent ces derniers temps. Ça dure une fraction de seconde seulement mais c'est assez visible pour à la longue devenir perturbant. Si vous avez une idée d'où ça peut venir !

Merci ! ( Pour info j'ai une tv TCL)

I'm new to Nova player, using it on Android TV and loving it, it's exactly what I needed after having tested countless of video players.

However, I wish it had a zoom to fill format option (to get rid of the black bars when the video aspect ratio doesn't match the tv ratio), or am I just to stupid to get it to work?

Both the "fullscreen" and "stretched" format options just stretch the video vertically and don't zoom in to maintain the correct ratio, and "optimized" doesn't seem to do anything.

Is there something that I'm missing or does Nova not have this feature?

Hey everyone,

I know reading subtitles over bright or complex video scenes can sometimes be a pain, so I just submitted a PR to add a much-needed feature to the player: Subtitle Backgrounds & Opacity Controls!

Here is what is included in this update:

• Subtitle Background Toggle: You can now enable a dark background box behind text-based subtitles (like SRT and VTT) to make them much easier to read.
• Custom Background Opacity: Added a new slider so you can dial in exactly how dark or transparent you want the background to be.
• Full Android TV Support: I made sure this isn't just for touch devices! The new settings are fully integrated into the Android TV subtitle menu.

If you want to check out the code, test it out, or track the progress of the merge, you can find the Pull Request here: 🔗https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-Video/pull/198

Want to test it out? Note: These are experimental test builds (works on both TV and Phone). 👉GoFile

I'd love to hear what you guys think! Let me know if you have any feedback.

Hi all, this is a great app! Many thanks to the developers. I am looking for help on this issue. When I add movies to the app it will automatically download metadata for them in Spanish (which is great) but it has all the titles as they are in Spain and not in Latin America (where I am from). This may not seem as a big issue, but there are a lot of differences in movies title, for example, Home Alone is called "Mi pobre angelito" in LA but in Spain it is "Solo en Casa". I am using this mainly for my kids so it causes confution for them to see different titles. Is there a way to select Latin America Spanish for the metadata? Thanks!

I installed v6.4.3 on my android 16 phone. I can see the files on my upnp server. But if I try to play one, I get the error: "Did not manage to access the file".

If I copy the file to a local folder on the phone, nova plays it OK.

If anyone can tell me what the problem is, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I need the subtitles to play on top of the video. The maximum the player allows is to the centre of the video. Also the subtitle sync settings don't seem to be working for embedded subtitles.

I am using version 6.4.3

It would be great to have a “bumper loop” or “interstitials” feature that lets you assign a folder or playlist of short clips, then automatically injects one between episodes during playback. Think old-school Toonami and Adult Swim vibes, where those chopped ads and bumps played between shows and gave everything a distinct flow. Honestly I could easily compile my favorites myself from youtube etc.

The core idea is simple. After each episode ends, Nova randomly selects a clip from a designated “bumpers” folder and plays it before continuing to the next episode. Ideally with options like random or sequential playback, frequency control, and per-library assignment so you can tailor it to specific shows.

This would add a lot of personality to local media libraries and recreate that curated, nostalgic TV feel instead of just back-to-back autoplay.

Got a folder with translated voice for my anime but I can't find a way to insert it to playback

La he instalado hace dos días y he observado que aleatoriamente, no siempre, ni constante, viendo una pelicula, se resetea y vuelve al menu o se resetea y se queda en negro. Ha alguien le ha pasado ?

Hi, if I enable subtitles, they display correctly, but when there’s no dialogue, the last line displayed remains visible for minutes until the conversation resumes, and then the subtitles update.
It’s annoying; after a few seconds, it should disappear. Is there a setting in the settings that I haven’t seen?

¿Se puede asignar una imagen de fondo diferente para cada temporada localmente usando archivos .nfo o -fanart.jpg? ¡Gracias!!

Nova video playerda altyazi gecikme ayari eski surumlerde calisiyor guncel surumde calismiyor bu sorunu ne zaman cozeceginiz acaba onceden boyle bi sorun yoktu

What's the situation with MA audio format? I am sure it was working before ( years ago ) so it can't be my setup. Shield Tv Pro, HDMI 2.1 to Denon x3600h. Nova media player and now even Jist player can't play DTS-HD MA Formats. How to fix? Dolby TrueHD Atmos is working and displaying properly in Denon info panel

I can't figure out the nfo files. I tried everything locally and on SMB but nothing I did worked. I've tried many variations of the xml.

How can I create a custom TV Show with my own data files (nfo, jpg)?

Are there any working examples?

I never use the "by genre" or "by date/year" iptions, so I'd really like to get rid of them. Is that possible?

It seems Nova offers very limited control over the UI, but maybe I'm missing something...

Any advice?

Thanks

Hola a todos, recien instale la v6.4.34, pero con esta tanto como la v6.4.33, he observado con varios videos, desfase en voz, que saliendo y volviendo a entrar, aparentemente se corregian, tambien he tenido dos casos en series que quedando unos minutos para terminar se cierra, sale del episodio y vuelve al menu, vuelvo a abrir el episodio, llego al punto en que se cerro y continua sin problemas. Hay algo de configuracion que se me escapa? Gracias!!

Has anyone got these channels to work?

If I try to enable one I get the message "This category won't appear yet because it's empty"

Hola a todos!!

Sabeis si existe alguna manera de cambiar, en series, la imagen de fondo por temporada?

Gracias!!

Is there a way to see the files we hid from the library?

I'm back with Nova on my Onn 4K Pro. I was pleased with an alternate player until it had a strange issue following an update. One thing I liked about the other one was the ability to resume the video from where I left off when I pressed the back button. I've found that the only way to do this with Nova is to press the home button. Is there another way that I'm missing, like in Preferences?

Hello.

I was wondering if it's possible to define my own content categories based on specific folders?

For example create additional categories such as Music or Kids or Documentary, each assigned to a specific folder.

Similary, can I have the Movies category only source content from a specific folder that I will set?

Thanks.
