Hello, I am trying to use a .m3u file to watch IPTV on the NXMP. It works really well but is there a way to change channels or see the full list. Only the first channel on the m3u. file is shown. I could not find anything regarding this. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[docgold]

Please post your .m3u file to make it easier to solve your problem.

Could it be possible to support unicode file names ? I have files with Korean characters in the name and they don't show in NXMP.

 

[NitroHedgehog]

Hmmm... how do I create playlists for NXMP? I have tons of tiny videos that I'd like to watch one after another, but I can't seem to find how...

I tried ftp but even though I can see the folders and files, the moment I select a mkv, it says its buffering for a second and nothing happens. Same ftp and same configuration works just fine on pplay. Am I doing something wrong?

hi? I am a korean
Currently, when playing a video using ftp or smb, nxmp does not recognize subtitles.
Is there no way? For reference, NAS is wd cloud

Hello everyone,

So, I'm having some trouble creating and connecting to FTP server. I'm using newest version of Atmosphere 1.3.2 and firmware on Switch 14.1.2 and have tried using pplay 3.5 fork 5 and nxmp 6.3, and FileZilla Server 1.5.1 to create my FTP server, but my files and folders are not showing up. Changed pplay.cfg file by adding NETWORK = "ftp://user:[email protected]:21/"; and config.ini file by adding source=TESTFtp|ftp://user:[email protected]:21/path/ and tested it on my PC and FTP server is working (also seems to make a connection with Switch), but again I just get ... when I try connecting, any suggestions?

UPDATE:

OMG...I finally figured it out, after hours of trial and error. So, I finally downloaded the newest version of NXMP v0.6.3 Rev 7 (Nightly Build) and using FileZilla Server 1.5.1 (and most importantly using non-applet mode), and the setup in the picture below, I got my videos playing perfectly over FTP!

If you want it to recognize your subtitles, you must have the videos in mkv with the subtitles attached.

He, Im loving the player so far. I was just wondering is there currently .srt subtitle support, and if so how do I select the subtitle files for a movie Im watching?

In my case, I put the movie and the .srt subtitle on the same folder, named exactly the same. And the media player recognizes it automatically. Never had an issue with that.

Try it this way and check if it works for you.

Also, be sure your .srt file names don't include special characters and are not insanely long. Not sure what the exact restrictions are, but I had to change some of my file names to get them to work.

Hello everyone, I am very happy with this player. I would like to know if there is any way to be able to play audio IN THE BACKGROUND while playing some game, such as an overlay of the tesla menu.

Haven't try any yet but I have seen some music players going for this feature.
Example is Triplayer which has an overlay inside release files.

I'm struggling to generate an nsp for this (either completely invalid or crashes on launch depending on the forwarding tool), but here are square icons for it. PSD files in the 7z.

Edit: nvm, succeeded with SAK. the nsp is now attached in the zip.

There are a couple MP4 videos I downloaded that work perfectly on my PC, yet when I try to play them on NXMP I get the "buffering" note forever and they never play :/. And the videos aren't even HD. Any help? can PM an example if someone wants to investigate it.

 

[soldiaz]

put in given folders but crashes on launch showing black then just white screen, finally error code and demands restart.

I am on Atmosphere 14, FW 15

 

[Kyoka]

is it just me or sometimes whenever i played a video in high quality , for a second or two the quality dips a lot , is this a common thing?

 

[gdavies]

like the idea of watching a film on it, but does it drain the battery quick

Yep. Seems to be normal. 720p is pretty fine. But at 1080p, data mosh effect sometimes.

Really? I mean, i watch movies only when the console is docked, but watching episodes is pretty solid.
