Nova+ player turns your iPhone and iPad into a complete media player for your own playlists. YOUR PLAYLISTS, YOUR CONTENT Nova+ player contains and provides no content whatsoever. You add your own M3U playlist or your Xtream Codes credentials, and the app organises everything for you: live channels, movies and series, sorted by category. LIVE A three-pane layout built for speed: categories, channel list, and instant preview. Switch channels in one gesture, mark your favourites, and find them again next time you open the app. TV GUIDE AND REPLAY Current and upcoming programmes are shown for each channel. Where your source supports it, go back to a programme that has already aired and play it straight from the guide. MOVIES AND SERIES Your catalogues are presented in smooth grids with artwork. Nova+ player remembers where you stopped: resume a film exactly where you left off, or jump to the next episode of a series without hunting for it. PLAYBACK Two playback engines cover a very wide range of formats and codecs. Selectable audio tracks and subtitles, adjustable playback speed, and Picture in Picture so you can keep watching while using another app. COMFORT Automatic sleep timer, light and dark themes, category management and reordering, and an interface available in 49 languages. PRIVACY No advertising tracking, no tracking cookies, no data resale. Your playlists are used solely to run the app and to find them again on your other devices. Nova+ player is a player. The content you play comes from the source you provide and remains your responsibility.
