Only nro, I'll take a look to make an nsp.

Great app! I noticed my 720p MKV would crash the switch console if buffer was set to medium or above using the NRO, but setting it to low buffer and no cpu boost it seemed to have fixed the issue! I am looking forward to an NSP forwarder when it comes.

Also, I don't think I can fast forward or pause any videos... with any of the custom NSP media players I have made in the past I was able to use the NX video player like you would with hulu or youtube but this player doesn't have those features, will that be made available in the future?

Do you mean its not working? (Press either down or button A to show the player "menu").

Oh wow, I am dumb... thanks! haha
I should have noted this in the readme thought.. Seeking can sometime make audio desynchronized on high resolution/bitrate videos, I'll also work on that soon. Also, for now you can only seek 1 or 10 minutes, I'll have to find a better way to add more option (I wanted something simple to use without shortcuts and so). Touch support is almost ready thought, so it will allow seeking via touching the "timeline" bar.

Overall really good work! Glad to have alternative video players to NX player and making custom media player NSPs, this makes watching videos a breeze!

This works just perfectly for my current needs. You've made our christmas a bit tastier as we can watch movies with my Switch now, thanks!

Just to let you know: It didn't play a MOV file due to some audio problem. Converted it to MP4 (h264) and it worked.

Thanks :). mov container should work, can I ask you the video/audio codec/rate (shown in the filer) of the mov file?

Actually, I wanted to create an NSP with NRO2NSP but the menu is broken after that and the video is only played in small. Had an extra icon made, if you like it, you can have it, before it was for vain. Write me and I'll send it to you

@cpasjuste

Furthermore, I have a problem. When I watch a movie, the screen darkens after a few minutes. Is it possible to set this somewhere or can you fix it via a fix?


Btw, great work!
