* Nova is only compatible with ftp(s) servers supporting "recent" 2007 MLST command ([RFC3659](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3659)), e.g. with proftpd but NOT with vsftpd;
* Nova has UPnP support but issues can be experienced with remote subtitles support (UPnP has no native support for srt files). Nova is reported not to be compatible with Serviio media server;
* Two types of SMB protocols are supported: smbj and jcifs-ng (smb). smbj is known to provide higher throughput but only supports SMB2+ protocols (not SMB1), use this one to play high bitrate videos;

Due to Android storage restrictions for API31, local NFO/JPG media information files for videos stored on local/HDD storage have been moved to nova public application folder located `/sdcard/Android/data/org.courville.nova/files/nfoPoster`.

Note that due to API31 restrictions, NFO files co-located with videos on local storage are invisible to nova since Google refuses to grant `MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permission to nova (cf. section above).

## I’d like to request a new feature.
