i have a 7590, i can make some test it should work in the same way!

Great can you also check why it won't read the root FTP folder on pplay and nxmp on this FTP server?

 

[proconsule54]

For bug/crash report pls add FW and CFW version, this will help me a lot

Yes, i am checking and also on my router ftp root folder not shown.
Fixing it

 

[proconsule54]

@TheRocK for a quick workaround for the root path add another / at the end of ftp entry

ftp://userass@iprouter:21//

but the ftp of the fritbox for sure have some issue that normal ftp daemon not have

Great job, you fixed many bugs in version 0.2 what we reported before.

Here is the bug list what we found:
1. The network browsing has bug, if we browse deeply in sub-directories during FTP, we can go back only one sub-directory, no more.
2. As reported before, nxmp crashes if USB/Enigma is not connected.

Keep up the good work & thank you.

Thanks for bug hunting
How many levels down you go with ftp?
what FW e CFW are u using?

 

[FR0ZN]

Is there a list of what formats the decoder supports?
Are spatial audio formats supported like Dolby Atmos or DTSX ?

 

[proconsule54]

The decoder part is based on ffmpeg last git. so if is supported by ffmpeg it will be supported by NXMP as well.
But you are right, a list of compiled supported codecs would be nice. i can add it on a window in the app.

i think that Dolby Atmos is supported but i don't think DTSX is.

 

[proconsule54]

Upcoming Enigma2 EPG (yes this have UTF8 support)


I know this is a Windows window, NXMP can be compiled also in windows (with mingw64 a dedicated Makefile will be provided also in the next commit) and is fully working. a method for rapid devel it and testing new features and debug memory leaks.

I thank you for your work, you help many people here.

I own nothing,
but our four kids have Nintendo Switches with AMS 1.1.1 FW 13.0.0.

When we go down to 3-4-5 level deep, then we can't go back.

Ok easy to test out.

 

[proconsule54]

1. The network browsing has bug, if we browse deeply in sub-directories during FTP, we can go back only one sub-directory, no more.

Fixed, the fix will be in the next micro release 0.2.1.

Edit:
also for Network/Enigma entry are not shown if no source provided (this will prevent crash).

for USB i'll have to check on my switch, that not crash on USB not present.
It happens on dock or in handled mode?

We always test in handheld mode. We tested again the bug:
USB / Network / Enigma2 make crash if they are not present.

 

[proconsule54]

Other major bugs found?
If not a micro release will come in the nex hours.

 

[proconsule54]

Release:

• fixed FTP navigation
• Network/Enigma are not shown if no source provided
• Enigma2 preliminary EPG support
• USB should not crash anymore

https://github.com/proconsule/nxmp/releases/tag/v0.2.1

Report bugs pls with FW CFW version.
Enjoy!

Stuttering with 1080p BluRay x265 with usb and internal storage (13.1.0/1.2.1)

Stuttering with 1080p BluRay x265 with usb and internal storage (13.1.0/1.2.1)

Yes it happens, all the decoding is done by cpu, many full hd h265 will play but others will stutter for cpu at 100%.
Sorry for that but without an hw decoder there is nothing i can do to avoid this other than keep all other things except player using as low cpu as i can

 

[proconsule54]

Is this version stable enough to be marked as Stable instead of pre-release?
Any major bug found?

 

[tataniko]

@proconsule54
Nice job, version 0.2.1 is very stable & fast.

My daughter (12y) said, it's time to use nxmp as main media player.

We found only one issue:
when we turn wifi off and we try to browse the Network, then nxmp crashes.

Keep up the good work & thank you.

 

[proconsule54]

I never tried this scenario, but good to know this issue. i mark it as stabe.
Time to add features (track selection,mini-player and so on)
