Bugfix release for NOVA
v0.260929.0
Fixed
Fixed missing fonts, icons and credits page
weāll look into that, letās see what we can do 
Iām not sure whether this is related to the plugin, but when I access albums and tracks through the āRecently addedā plugin, no metadata is displayed, such as the release date, track duration, or audio format.
Hi, and thanks for the great work on the new Nova UI ā I really enjoy using it.
Iād like to request an option to adjust the size of the text displayed in the Listening tab (track title, artist name, etc.). On regular PC or phone screens the default size is fine, but many users ā including me ā run Volumio on custom-built players with nonāstandard displays, for example 1920Ć515. On such screens the currently playing track information appears too small to read comfortably.
The old Now Playing plugin partially solved this, but it hasnāt been developed for a long time, and the new Nova interface is much cleaner and more stable ā Iād prefer to rely on the builtāin UI rather than external plugins.
It would be extremely helpful if Nova offered at least a basic setting to increase the text size in the Listening view. Even a simple small/medium/large option would make a big difference for custom hardware setups.
Thanks for considering this improvement.
Hi, a suggestion: it would be useful - on smartphone - if the screen stayed active while the lyrics view is open during playback. This would make it easier to follow the lyrics without having to repeatedly wake or unlock the device.
New day new Nova update!
v0.261001.0
New
Hovering over a track that will start playing now shows a play icon over its artwork.
Improved
Nova starts faster, with less to download before you can use it and smaller font files.
Nova now remembers your language and shows it right away, with no flash of English first.
Browsing large music libraries and dragging songs in the queue is smoother, and local library pages load instantly once youāve visited them.
The current track now appears immediately when you reload, before the connection finishes reconnecting.
Fixed
āSoundCloud album and playlist names no longer show stray HTML codeā - It works perfectly. Thanks
Is it possible to add track numbers?
I would like to suggest an improvement to the CD ripping functionality. First of all, the ripping process itself (extracting CD-Audio to FLAC directly to the deviceās memory) works absolutely perfectlyāgreat job on that!
However, I often run into issues with CD recognition and track naming. While mainstream and popular artists are tagged properly, the system struggles to recognize local, national artists, and compilation albums.
When I rip CDs on my PC using software like foobar2000, I can choose from several metadata servers (such as MusicBrainz, GnuDB / freedb2, or foo_zero_metadata). Because it checks multiple sources, at least one server usually has my CD in its database, ensuring correct tags.
I am not sure which specific database Volumio currently uses, as it is not visible in the settings. Would it be possible to implement a feature where Volumio queries multiple databases automatically to find a match, or alternatively, add a dropdown/toggle in the settings so the user can manually select which database to use?
Adding this would make the CD ripping feature much more reliable for users with diverse or local music collections.
Thank you for your time and keep up the great work!
Hi,
In an external HDMI monitor (without touch capabilities) the left vertical bar is a bit useless. Any chance to make it optional for an external HDMI monitor?
The center message still keeps showing if after two reboots
Iād missed that youād added a DSP button option on the playing screen, allowing you to enable/disable DSP effects without having to continuously go back and forth to the plugin options. Excellent!

As most of this is in Volumio core (backend), why canāt we have an x86-64 version to play with? It is is one of your āsupportedā platforms nevertheless
Well, letās make them hear us this timeā¦ we really need album release years 
It would be very helpful if you could provide the option to add images to oneās own playlistsāfor all created folders.
and to the added radio stations
I wish I could have the new Nova interface, but a Premium subscription is $10AU per month here in Australia. I donāt think I need or want premium for anything else. It seems like a lot when the content is already owned and hosted by me.
For comparison, Amazon Prime is $10AU per month here and you get content for that (along with free delivery for purchases).
Edit: Iād mistyped the Euro price into a currency converter and got $25AU, it should be $10AU. So it isnāt as bad as it initially looked.
Firstly, I didnāt know Nova only came with the premium subscription (for non Volumio device users). Iāve seen no mention of that restriction. Secondly, I hope you do realise you are using a piece of software, that a professional team makes and maintains, for free so complaining about having to pay for premium features sounds a bitā¦ weird?
New NOVA v0.261002.0 is rolling out!
New
A text size setting (Settings ā Accessibility): Small, Default, Large or Larger.
Now Playing now adapts properly to unusual screens ā short displays and ultra-wide screens both look right.
Album pages show each trackās number next to the artwork, including on Qobuz and TIDAL.
Improved
The empty playback bar no longer clutters phones or the app when nothing is loaded.
The screen now stays on while youāre reading Lyrics during playback in the app.
Fixed
Settings now warns you before leaving a page with unsaved changes.
The āNova has been updatedā card no longer appears on device screens, where it couldnāt be dismissed.
A very minor issue. When playing a stream through the UPnP renderer the controls and time bar are correctly greyed out on the Listening pane, but the (greyed out) playing time counter on the left of the time bar keeps being updated from 0:00 to about 0:08 or so and then goes back to 0:00 and so on.
