I'm unable to update Nova video player on the fire stick via side loading, it downloads and starts to install but then says failed to install. I'm stuck using the original 6.4.3 that was on the Amazon store, I'm able side load other apps ok.

Is this a problem with the player or the firestick which isn't one that blocks sideloading?

Solved....

It seems that after uninstalling the player the firestick needed to be restarted and then the newest one installed ok. I can only assume that some stuff got left behind but got cleared when the Firestick restarted.

Thanks for your replies.

I have been having issues getting trakt logged in on both google pixel and google streamer. I have attached a video.

Can anyone recommend fixes?

Some videos files show this wrong background on subtitle, I didn’t setup this background
As show in the video, when the HUD from nova video player is showed, subtitles work correctly
Does anyone knows a fix for this?
Thank u so much

Is there any way to activate playing closed captions that are embedded inside the video file? Have only found that VLC on the PC will play them. Nothing on Android yet.

Hi,

I found a fix for the inconsistent audio delay issues on Nova Player on Google TV Streamer. I tried the suggested fix in other threads but still had the issues.

The issue presented mostly with 4K files.

In Google TV Streamer in the Settings (the big settings not the Quick Settings) there is a Sound Tab (might be called different, I don’t know the exact name) and in there there is Audio Options. For me it was set to Auto and I changed it to PCM Stereo. Since then I’ve had no audio delay issues anymore.

My guess is the played file had a Dolby Digital Audio and bc of the streamer settings it passed as Dolby to my TV. The TV then had to do the decoding to Stereo. Since the hardware capabilities are quite limited on the TV it created the delay because of the decoding. Now the streamer itself does it and since it has better hardware there is no delay.

Has this app been allowed access to manage_external_storage in Googles api to read .nfo files from usb hdd yet or still not working? Man I hate google if this is still not allowed by Nova but is on other similar apps.

Hallo, ich liebe den Nova Player.

Leider werden die Vorschauposter nur bei Dateien angezeigt, Ordner sind aber nur einheitlich blau.

Kann ich dies ändern?

Vielen Dank

Basically the title. If I use the get subtitles online it works fine but I have to redownload them when I relaunch the app later. Is there a way keep the downloaded subs?

Ive been using it for a few months now and I was watching a video and all of a sudden i try to play the next episode and it crashes. Now every video doesn't work. I've tried everything I know of. Reinstall, clear cache/data, rescan storage/rescrape, restart phone. Nothing works. It tries to process videos after reacanning and always gets hung up on 57 files left. It just gets stuck on there. What went wrong and how do I fix it?

NOVA, es realmente genial, un todo en uno y que reproduce prácticamente todo. Es genial.

En un futuro, NOVA podría leer archivos .ISO ya sea dvd o bluray? Así como lo hace vlc. Creo que es lo único que le falta para ser lo mejor que existe

Gracias a los desarrolladores, excelente trabajo.

I recently sideloaded to v6.4.29 release on my Humax Aura Freeview box because the Google version is really old and I was getting stuttering problems and with the newer version I keep getting stuttering, out of lip sync and no sound but if I stop what it's playing and exit Nova and then run it again and play the same file it's ok.

Do any of the newer ones work any better or is the Aura box?

Hola a todos!

tengo una serie, X, y quisiera asignar las imagenes por capitulo de manera local, eligiendo una que yo considere mas correcta para ella, sin que mire en TMDB, hay alguna opcion, modificando el fichero .nfo del capitulo? He probado varias opciones pero solo consigo que aparezca el seasonXX.jpg de la temporada o el poster.jpg de la serie!! COmo lo crea organiza NOVA? Gracias!!

He actualizado a version 6.4.39, ningún problema.

Al ejecutar la aplicación me pide permiso para acceder a fotos, etc y cuando comienza a leer ficheros dispositivo la aplicacion sale, no da ningún mensaje de error.

Esto mismo me ha pasado con la 6.4.38, con las 6.4.37 y anteriores no ha dado ningún problema.

Estoy ejecutando Nova en un Mibox4 versión 9, con el ejecutable armeabi-v7a-release.

Alguna ayuda sobre el tema ?

Gracias!!

So each time I download a new show/Webseries and extract it simply doesn't show in Library>"TV SHOWS" With Information and posters I either have to reinstall app completely or clear data /Cache I tried Rescan Storage option in Nova player but it doesn't work..

Actualizado a version 6.4.38 (armebi-v7a), en un mibox, se actualiza sin errores, al inicializar programa te pide permiso para fotos, creo, se pulsa correcto, y la Nova vuelve al menu principal del MiBox, se desistala/instala varias veces y el problema continua, se baja a version 6.4.37, ningún problema. A alguien le ha pasado lo mismo? Gracias!!

I've got two TVs with android and Nova players on both of them. I play movies from the sftp share on my local network. I chose SFTP because I found it less problematic than samba in terms of read-write rights (the shares are on raspberry pi linux)

one of the players ignores any 'resume' (local or remote), the other works fine. I can download and change movie posters or srt subtitles, so I guess the players have rights to write on tv's internal memory.

both players are in the same version, 6.4.3 20250521.1917

what could be the reason that one of them has amnesia? can I do anything?

I use Nova on an Android TV and access videos from my computer that works as a server via SMB.

The other day, there were something wrong and I tried a few thing among them I managed to remove the shortcuts to my shared folders.

It was easy enough to get them back, but a few vital functions are now missing.

It does no longer communicate with IMBd at all, so no thumbnails, no information about the movie.

But worse - it does no longer keep track of which I've seen or where I were in the movie, if I decide to continue another day. It even loses where I am if the screensaver starts.

For the life of me, I can't understand what's happened. I've tried everything.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance.

No updates in over a year at Google Play Store..

Hi, I just installed Nova Video 6.4.3 version on my android tablet. Can someone please walk me through the process to "Always show time status" so when I play a video, the elapsed time always is visible? I am an older gentleman and not technically savvy, so I would really appreciate a step by step description of how to do this. I very much thank you for your help.

Daily greet, fellow Nova Redditors.

I have recently installed Nova on a new Android TV and am very impressed, coming from years of VLC fandom.

I had a general read thru the sub but couldn't find an answer to a couple of minor buglets.

Please forgive me if I am causing a strange case of deja vu.

• When I tested Nova with a tiny amount of data, the resume feature worked fine. When I stopped a video and restarted, the player would go straight back to where I left off.

Now that I have added thousands of files, I notice that the resume feature no longer works.

I checked the settings and I definitely have the option set to resume.

Any suggestions as to why the behavior would have changed?

• When having to tag a file manually, I quite often find that even tho the show is in the TMBD database, Nova won't find the info. Text and name and things like '&' not 'and' are all correct, I manage to tag a file OK using voice, but then the second file will not find the show again even tho the first file was eventually tagged OK.

^(EG; one of the file names that the device won't see is 'Boon': The device goes straight to Boonie Bears or Daniel Boone and just ignores the different spelling.)

I fixed some instances by amending the file name on the computer, but most of the time, this isn't the problem.

• In such a situation, is there a way of bulk tagging a whole folder rather than having to manually add info by voice on 25 individual file names?

• I'm using a media streaming device with a remote rather than being able to copy and paste like on the computer.

Any suggestions gratefully received

Cheers 🧡

Lately to play TrueHD Atmos I need first to select 5.1 track wait for a sound then reapply Atmos track? Atmos is on by default but no sound unless I swap eith something else for a while
