Homebrew NXMilk a trivial audio player for switch

[proconsule54]

I was curious what you're doing with this player. Could you incorporate other midi formats based on video game console chipsets? psf (playstation) miniusf (nintendo 64) I understand that these are more than just encoders, they are a partial emulation of the SPU or sound chip of the console.

Wiki: SSF (Sega Saturn Sound Format), DSF (Dreamcast Sound Format), USF (Nintendo Ultra 64 Sound Format), QSF (Capcom Q-Sound Format), GSF (Game Boy Advance Sound Format), and 2SF (Nintendo DS Sound Format)

Bundle codec: Chipamp

I don't think this can be turned into some sort of DAW, but VST instrument support would be interesting and absurdly entertaining.

Yes, i want to add as many as possible. yes something may require some sort of emulation of the SPU but nothing impossible since relevants docs are public!
Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks for this app! But any idea why files with chinese characters in the filename is not showing up in the directory even after I copied them across?

 

[proconsule54]

I will make some tests, and i will do an update to make it compatible with ideograms (both Chinese and Japanese Kanji).
Thanks for reporting this issue

@proconsule54 i'm trying both NXMilk and NXMP as audio players; right now NXMilk is not able to list as playable .wav files (so they are not selectable); NXMP is able to show them and reproduce it.
Can you check why?
i would prefer to you use NXMilk since i can "disable" the screen pressing Y; also ZL and ZR only changes "themes" is this correct (it would be nice if they work as "previous song/next song)?

 

[proconsule54]

i will update nxmilk also, i never tried wav files but are the simplest to support. I will fix it.
For the theme/song switcher, we have four triggers, i will remap in a more sane way

 

[Greasson]

Thank you!
it's a pity that (at least i'm not able to find "how to") is not possible to turn off the screen (less battery usage) and let the player continue to play.

Wav file working, i have updated also github with the changes (easy one) and added PKGBUILD for projectM and libgme

a new stable release will arrive soon

I am adding icons for diff file formats (i know, they are ugly enough). if someone want to help me a bit i need a new iconset for NXMilk, icons must be 64x64 PNG (alpha supported).

Also, new version will feature user defined file extensions (you can add any exotic .whatyouwant) since ffmpeg support so many i didnt hardcoded all.

Tested and working very well.

Enjoy!

Can it play music from the overlay?

I am working on a cue/bin reader for NXMilk this will bring cd-audio iso reading, this is the first step, the next step i am working on is a modified libusbhsfs with usb dvd-rom support ( to have real cd audio playback here and) and dvd video playback inside NXMP.

I don’t have any eta but libusbhsfs is made so well that put inside a iso9660/udf filesystem support and atapi/scsi cd commands is not that hard (is just a time effort not a mind effort).

This was an old dream of me (and i think also for the skilled @DarkMatterCore that gave usb to all)

> dvd-rom support ( to have real cd audio playback here and) and dvd video playback inside NXMP.

Now that would be really cool! I would love that feature!

Cue/bin AUDIOCD working, as a devoptab device.

I have done this:

Parsing cue to get bin path and offsets for tracks.

So i get the aize of each track.
Tracks on cdaudio are 16bit pcm stereo samples, but without info a decoder cannot decode it (it doesnt’t know relevnt info like samplerate channels and so on)

So i am on the fly generating a wav header (44byte added) and so the track appear as wav file. The trick is done and the audio is working

Speaking for myself, the pinnacle of MP3 player design and functionality was and still is the classic Winamp. I don't know if something like this could work on a widescreen display. But maybe it could be an inspiration for functionality.

I think an option to rotate the screen for Winamp skin support would be dope.

can this work when screen is off?

Homebrew can't run when the console is asleep, but I think it's possible to for a homebrew to turn the screen off without entering actual sleep mode.

Yeah the best you can do is disable the backlight to turn off the screen. https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx...11099178/nx/include/switch/services/lbl.h#L40

You can always get icons from flaticon dot com. They have packs and different art styles. Just add a credit somewhere in the program.

Thanks, i will add to BUT_Y feature.

Is useful for you to add just like i added to nxmp a argv start option for playback file?
