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!

Thanks! I was wondering, when updating to a new version, do I delete the old NXMP first then put this one? or simply put it over it and overwrite it? as I don't want the db to be deleted each update.
Also, will you implement an autoupdater in the future that allows us to update directly from the app?

The config.ini and epgpreset.ini can be the same, the missing entries wil added at first save in settings.
the db is taken as is, since is marked with version number i will update the tables only if is necessary and done by the app. so yu can only update the nro.
The only changes in files in this release is the shader directory inside the mpv directory.
An autoupdate feature can be done but is not on top of the TODO list.
The next version (i am working on) will feature playlist, very usefull in audio playback and tv series watching.

Sorry, but I didn't understand what you mean, so I will clarify my question:I want the database to not be deleted Everytime I update. Can I delete the nxmp folder I have on my switch and paste the new one and the db will not be affected? or should I paste the new one over the old one and overwrite it to preserve the database? Or should I do something else completely?

 

[proconsule54]

paste the new one over the old one and overwrite it to preserve the database?

Yes this is the way

 

[proconsule54]

Dev Update:
-Subtitle Font color selection.

 

[proconsule54]

Dev Update:
- A new field "Completed" in the database is added

The database will be updated at first start of NXMP so no data will be lost (hope so).
This will allow me to mark as "viewed" the files.
This feature will be in 0.6.0 as long as many others i am working on (like playlist)

I didn't deserve the thanks for this release, unafortunally can't connect and test for a few days

Anyways a lot of thanks, I'm here again to help ^^

You helped a lot in many ways, you deserve it

 

[asper]

This tool is growing every day ! You are cool @proconsule54 !

Yup, he take the development seriusly, I didn't connect on a few days and I see a lot of new features and are on BETA testing now xP

As note, all spoiled features of 0.6.0 works, only two minor bugs encontered on the first beta ^^

 

[proconsule54]

Why not adding ssh protocol since libssh is present in switch sdk?
So here it comes the SFTP support!
it will be in next release!
Enjoy the madness....

 

[Chocola]

Nice ^^, authentication with public key gona be available or only password for now?

 

[proconsule54]

Nice ^^, authentication with public key gona be available or only password for now?

The first implementation will use password auth, in form of

sftp://user:pass@server:port/path

but other auth method will be supported in future

 

[Chocola]

Nice, I ask because my home server are only working on LAN for now for security reasons, but with SSH and auth keys I can open it to WAN when I go out from my home and view my content on all places thanks to NXMP xP

 

[proconsule54]

I know that most users want samba support but libsamba needed by ffmpeg for playing from that source is impossibile to complie with libnx….i tried hard…
But i have some ideas for bring samba support too in some way……
Belive in my madnesss….

 

[proconsule54]

Also ssh support in ffmpeg is a bit hard, since it only works with libssh and not with libssh2 but i am confident i can make it work with libssh2 for just what i need (open read seek)

I asked @DarkMatterCore to help port libssh in the past (for the ffmpeg), which iirc he did. Might be worth asking him for it

 

[proconsule54]

@DarkMatterCore is a great developer and for sure he can do it. But i am trying to do something different. Using linssh2 instead of libssh in ffmpeg.
Can help me and help others. If i ended up that is not working i ask him help if have some free time for porting libssh

 

[proconsule54]

Easier than i expected.
sftp working with libssh2 and ffmpeg.
less then 2 hour to make it work (mainly for compile time).
YES! i am a bit proud.

 

[proconsule54]

Preliminary tests on ssh was very good, open is as fast as ftp and seek seems faster than ftp (a lot)
no crash or other issue.
Will for sure be in next release.
A beta for testers will be ready today (along wth other fixes)

Now i am looking at using libsmb2 for a basic samba support since samba library is a nightmare.
i just need open/close seek (no write truncate dirlist or other stuff in ffmpeg).
Not sure if is possible but i'll try.
