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?

Oh yes please, that would be great!

This is what will be supported in next version:

• Network support fot ssh/sftp nsf smb
• Archive support with libarchive (many)
• Cue/bin support (for audio cd) will work also with mixed mode images (data/audio) ot just “omit” the data track
• Iso9660 support (for iso disk image)
• arg support ( @TotalJustice this is for you and your great project Sphaira
• Fast inmemory seek for audio file inside archive (for audio file < 100MB)

I will support any other format/protocol if needed just le me know.

Enjoy!

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.

yes but the button pressing will still be active, i know there is an alarm feature in some games that activates sound when locked

Toggle the backlight off kill also sound system but buttons and program loops still there

Hmm, there's probably another way to do it. They have this disabled backlight in the mario 3d collection when you play the album songs.

Do you set the applet media playback to true? Maybe that effects it?

Edit: maybe this one works? https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx...9178/nx/include/switch/services/applet.h#L496

@TotalJustice with appletSetLcdBacklightOffEnabled app freeze.
lblSwitchBacklightOff is more promising since didn't crash anything

Ah that's a shame. I've not messed with the backlight so I can't really help much. Although I guess disabling the backlight isn't super important if we can't it working

 

[proconsule54]

Sure, i am polishing a bit the code, this weekend i will release it.

@TotalJustice i commited here https://github.com/proconsule/nxmp-devoptabs te devoptabs i will use for next release

also the PKGBUILD for libiconv libcdio and last libarchive

Really nice to see nfs support!

why is it named nxmilk? is it named after something?

Milkdrop, the great vis for winamp

@TotalJustice i found a workaround for the backlight.

the lblSwitchBacklightOff works, i mapped it to plus button. it works ONLY if pressed and also the touchscreen is pressed (once), than it turns on/off without stopping audio.

Very very strange

Hi. Awesome program but I cannot find the settings and it stops playing after one song, how do I get it to play continuously?

 

[proconsule54]

Is working, after many very bad words , i got NXMilk reading a real audio cd from an usb dvd drive!
Will be in the next version

AudioCD Playback working, now i am working on iso9660 and udf support (for future DVD playback)

Post automatically merged: Jul 29, 2025

Read speed is 2.4 MB/s peak (sequential reading)
I will try more drive to ensure it works well.
This will be a lib for usb-dvd intended to support as many reader/fs type as possible.
The first version will support only audiocd (mounted as acd0:/) showing each audio track as a wav file (autogenerating the wav header) so dumping a track will be just a copy operation.

Can be paired with ffmpeg to dump/convert on the fly just like a normal readonly filesystem.

I will support iso9660 also but i want to do it without using libiso9660 (that i already ported) but creating a new one from scratch so it will take some time.

Hope you all enjoy this “maybe” out of time support of dvd drives on switch

 

[proconsule54]

Things moving fast, i implemented iso9660 with joliet support (Rock Ridge will arrive also). it works very well.
Hope to release this soon!

All stuff are custom made (no external lib used) so don't expect perfection at first try

Also if someone want to test dvd support (it can help me fixing stuff i didn't found out) PM me

 

[proconsule54]

Basic rockridge support, works well.
Timestamp also are ok, md5sum test passed on file copy.
next one will be udf for dvd support.

Probably noone will care about cd/dvd support on switch…. But it was cool doing it

 

[mathew77]

next one will be udf for dvd support.

Wow!.. It means after that we can try to play DVD Video Games on a Switch? Like this: https://www.mobygames.com/platform/dvd-player/

Udf is one part, it also need parser for game logic, but have file support can lead to this
