This method uses the NovaStar multimedia player’s built-in web page widget to load the EasySignage web player [(ezplayer.io)](https://ezplayer.io/) directly. Once setup is complete, content is managed from your EasySignage dashboard. You do not need to reopen ViPlex Express for normal content updates. ## How to Install EasySignage on NovaStar LED Displays To install EasySignage on NovaStar LED displays, you’ll need: - A NovaStar multimedia player connected to your LED display - Internet connection on the player (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or 4G) - ViPlex Express installed on a Windows PC - EasySignage account at [app.easysignage.com](https://app.easysignage.com/) ## Supported NovaStar Hardware EasySignage supports NovaStar Taurus and TU series multimedia players, including TB20 Plus, TB30, TB40, TB50, TB60, TU15 Pro, TU20 Pro, TU40 Pro, TU4K Pro, and similar models. Standard NovaStar sending cards without a multimedia player are not supported. Before you continue: for NovaStar player onboarding, connection, and screen discovery in ViPlex Express, follow NovaStar’s official setup documentation first. ### Step 1: Create a playlist and add a Web Page widget 1. Select your screen, then open the **Playlist** tab. ![ViPlex Express - Playlist tab](https://easysignage.com/help/assets/img/installation/novastar/05-playlist-tab.jpg) 2. Create a playlist and set the resolution to match your LED screen. 3. Open **Widget** and add a **Web Page** widget. ![ViPlex Express - Widget tab](https://easysignage.com/help/assets/img/installation/novastar/06-editor-widget-tabs.jpg) 4. Resize the widget to full screen. 5. Set **X=0** and **Y=0**, then set **W/H** to your full resolution. 6. Enter the URL below in the web page properties: ``` https://ezplayer.io ``` 7. Set the web page playback duration to **1 hour or 2 hours** to avoid continuous browser page refreshes. You only need one web page in this ViPlex playlist. EasySignage handles playlist scheduling and rotation from the cloud. ### Step 2: Publish to the screen 1. Click **Save** and then **Publish**. ![ViPlex Express - Publish solution](https://easysignage.com/help/assets/img/installation/novastar/07-publish-solution.jpg) 2. Select your target screen and confirm publish. 3. After publish, your LED screen should show an EasySignage pairing code. ### Step 3: Pair the screen with your EasySignage account 1. Go to [app.easysignage.com](https://app.easysignage.com/) and sign in. 2. Go to **Screens** and click **Add Screen**. 3. Enter the pairing code shown on your LED screen. 4. Assign a playlist/schedule and start playback.

Some NovaStar devices may clear browser storage during reboot or firmware updates, which can disconnect the screen from your EasySignage account. Persisting the Player ID prevents this issue and keeps the device linked to your account. 1. Go to your EasySignage account and navigate to Screens. 2. Click your recently paired NovaStar screen. 3. Open Device Details. Under Details, you will find the Device ID. ![Nova Star Device ID](https://easysignage.com/help/assets/img/installation/novastar/novastar-device-id.webp) Copy the Device ID, then re-publish the Web Page URL from Step 1 using the following format: ``` https://ezplayer.io?id=XYZ ``` Replace **XYZ** with your actual Device ID. After publishing the updated URL, the NovaStar device will continue using the same EasySignage screen ID even if browser storage is cleared. ## Force Screen Rotation If your LED screen is mounted in portrait, or you need to flip the image, you can force the EasySignage web player to rotate by adding a `rotate` value to the web page URL. This is useful when the NovaStar player might reset rotation every few days. Add `rotate=` to the URL you published in Step 1 (or Step 4). Use one of the following values: | Value | Orientation | | --- | --- | | `0` | Landscape (0°) — default | | `1` | Portrait (rotated 90°) | | `8` | Landscape upside down (rotated 180°) | | `9` | Portrait (rotated 270°) | **If you are only setting rotation:** ``` https://ezplayer.io?rotate=1 ``` **If you are also persisting the Player ID (from Step 4), combine both parameters with `&`:** ``` https://ezplayer.io?id=XYZ&rotate=1 ``` Replace **XYZ** with your Device ID and **1** with the rotation value you need. After you update the URL, re-publish the Web Page widget to the screen. The player applies the new rotation on the next load. ## Troubleshooting ### The web page does not load - Verify internet connection in ViPlex Monitor & Control. - Verify date/time/timezone (NTP). - Confirm the URL is exactly `https://ezplayer.io`. ### The screen is blank or white - Update player firmware and republish the playlist. ### Pairing code does not appear - Restart player, then republish. ### ViPlex cannot find the player - Follow NovaStar’s official connection and discovery guide for network pairing. - Ensure PC and player are on the same network. - Try player hotspot mode. - Add by IP (`192.168.0.10`) manually. ### Content does not play after pairing - Verify playlist is assigned to the screen in EasySignage. - Verify screen licence is active. ##### Tip: After setup, use EasySignage CMS for content updates. ViPlex Express is only needed for initial web player deployment.
