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

I was more thinking if you are going on a long journey and want to watch a film or 3, at 1080 would it drain the battery more than gaming

 

[Kyoka]

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

so its always better to watch on 720p?

so its always better to watch on 720p?

coming to think of it due to the screen size would the drop from 1080 to 720 be all that noticeable, I don't think it would really

it drops below 720p , like even low quality pixel squares appear on screen

 

[gdavies]

yeah I am not a fan of watching a blocky video unless its part of the feature such as on minecraft stories haha

 

[Dr_Dankenstein]

does this have an Auto-play next video option at all that I am missing?
I have videos in series docked and would love it if i could just automatically play the next episode in the folder without me having to keep picking it.

its kind of off topic a little would it be possible to add nxmp to my homescreen?

Thanks for the app by the way

I was very busy with my real life job so i havn't updated NXMP for a long time, the player is "stable" but have some bugs and lacks some features.

I was waiting for the HW Decode feature in libnx but it seems that this will not happen soon.
So i will work on code cleanup , bug hunting, use last libnx, and so on.

I don't have any timeline to do (really busy) but an update will arrive!

 

[urherenow]

Take your time. TBH it's such a nice app that I haven't even thought about checking for updates in a while. Especially since FW16 didn't break anything that I've noticed.

I have noticed that a few video formats (most notably VOB) play but don't actually show the video's length. They show themselves as if they are always "loading", and don't save where you were in them when you close them (all of this off USB), so it would be pretty nice if you could fix that to make them play like normal and save where you were to resume later on

Oh, and the discs i took these videos from weren't copy protected, so the issue definitely isn't related to copy protection,

 

[Beetlejuice90]

I appreciate your work, but there is a bug or something which doesn't show the full length of a .ts video file. It takes ages to load the right part of a video.

If it's possible, can you add a playback speed feature?

 

[darkverger]

Any plans to support AV1 codec in the future? AV1 is starting to take flight with a lot of platforms supporting it, the compression benefits it brings over vp9 are not to be scoffed at.

 

[kashiwa]

hey, my mkv files just seem to not show anywhere, is there any config i am missing?

 

[proconsule54]

Can someone confirm issues with NXMP and FW 16.0.3 on AMS 1.5.4?

(i am on 16.0.2 AMS 1.5.3 and seems to works ok)

 

[darkverger]

isnt AMS 1.5.4 still in pre-release? ill test once it releases fr

 

[proconsule54]

Since i have very little free time, and no time to do testing and so on, let me know any issue with current atmo.
So i can work on this to give NXMP an update if needed.
I dont know if someone is still using it or there is a better player now for the switch.

 

[spkatsi]

Hey there!

NXMP works fine on FW 16.0.3 on AMS 1.5.3.
Should be the same on FW 16.0.3 on AMS 1.5.4.

This is the better player for the Switch.

 

[proconsule54]

Thanks @spkatsi
