Thanks to @averne for HW Decoding FFMpeg! and for many many hints
Thanks to @bodyXY for the banner and the icons!
Thanks to @Godorowski for player UI design and releated icons
Thanks to @Chocola for beta testing a player guide

using the right analog stick would be a far better option. Kodi does that and it works perfectly, and you have already assigned some great uses to the Dpad while the right analog stick is completely unused.

I never think about right analog, can be an option.

Is possible to speed up (a bit) NXMP. yes if cpu decoding part is 100% cpu it can't do anything but we can free up the gpu (that is not so stressed but used) using PBO.
I have to test it because i am not sure if the current opengl implementation on switch is complaint nor benefit from this.

Dev Update:
Subtitle font now can be scaled up/down on the fly

 

[proconsule54]

Dev Update:
Now is possible to return to file list during playback to select another file.
Volume UP/Down with rstick as suggested.
0.5.1 will come soon.....

Last beta was sent to beta testers. Hope is all working well, if so will be the release version.

I really hope you'll implement the remap function cause I prefer the dpad for volume control. Rstick is prone to drifting when aging.

Yes i’ll implement a remap in the future.
I know the drifting but i make a big deadzone on rstick to avoid this

This feature is as useless as fun (in my opinion). since i dont have access to HW decoder ad so the GPU is nearly unused i want to stress it a bit with something....so why not have fun with shaders...... as far as i know the GPU of switch is pretty powerful for some basic shaders....
As i said are useless but fun and it doesn't impact the code (as they are external shaders files).
an example:

View attachment 284950

Stupid, useless, but fun.
They can become more usefull for audio playback (i am working on getting the audio sample back in some way) for have cool vis plugins.
This test is from a video (007).

and also they can be added by users!.
This can be done thanks to mpv that gives access to adding shaders. just adapt it a bit.

to see what shaders can do take a look at this https://www.shadertoy.com/

Enjoy my madness....

Pedantic but the nvdec module is separate to the rest of the GPU, so you shouldn't notice perf changes on your shaders if you were using it

Yes, i am waiting for nvdec to be accessible....hope not taking too long (but probably will be)

 

[pleasehelpihavequestion]

will next release have play all function for t.v shows/seaons + muisc/albums?

Great work proconsule54!!

Not in the next version (0.5.1) but is planned.
probably in the next minor version (0.6.0)

okay can't wait! thanks

 

[proconsule54]

Hope to have good feedback from tester for releasing 0.5.1 so i can start the dev of new features.

 

[proconsule54]

Dev update:
Start to work on playlist system (i have many ideas i cant wait to start)
Hope no major bug will be found on current beta.

 

[proconsule54]

Example of file selection, very trivial but working.

 

[proconsule54]

The main philosophy of NXMP will not change with playlist. it always can just click and play (very simple) but with dpad left button the checkboxes will apper to give ability to access playlist.
I want that NXMP will be simple but powerfull, anyone can use it, but if someone want to be deep on user exp he can.
Sorry for the micro release dealy but as always i want to deliver a super stable release (as stable as possible) and tests take more times as feature increase.

Your support (like ,comments and suggestions) are important for me to continue into this project.

Playlist browser (with basic move up/down elements and current element hightlight.

Release:
https://github.com/proconsule/nxmp/releases/tag/v0.5.1

- Fix for db not saved on hard exit the app
- ShaderMania useless but fun with shaders
- Custom Sub Font Size
- Show File selection during playback with - button
- Volume Up/Down with rstick

Report bugs/issues if found.
Enjoy!

Q: What is ShaderMania?

A: ShaderMania is an useless but fun feature of NXMP, it uses the ability of MPV to load custom shader into the video output chain. I adapt some shaders from https://www.shadertoy.com/ to make shaders effects to the video. Some like grayscale may be usefull for someone others (like the sea shaders) is only for fun. Users can also make their custom shaders and place in mpv/shaders directory.
