Very good idea to select different aspect ratios during playback.

At the moment, we use mpv.conf file with fixed aspect ratio (video-aspect=16:9) to get wide screen for older movies, but this is not perfect, because it is fixed to 16:9.

To help with low firmware issues, (honestly should use title override for accessing homebrews so you have more ram) but you could make an emunand and update it to latest firmware.

@proconsule54 if you wanted to go through the trouble for testing on lower firmware, you could make an emmunand and downgrade it.

For autosleep/screen dimming i found out this in libnx

appletSetAutoSleepDisabled

This will solve issue.

 

[proconsule54]

Custom Aspect Ratio (on the fly applied)
if preset not fit the video you are using.

OK now i'll go to total final testing for realese.

Going bed now, very late here in Italy.

You are from Italy and thus missed such a great opportunity to call this PineapplePizzaPlayer or VaffanculoVideoPlayer?

Bruh.

Jokes aside - is there a place in todo list for integrating opensubtitles downloading with language selection? It would basically last feature man can need.

 

[proconsule54]

The TODO list is very big, and adding too many features in a single version may lead to unstable results (hard to fix).
I prefer adding features, make micro version until is very stable and then restart to add features.
any idea will be in my TODO list but the priority can change.

I grew up in a Roman aqua city, Aquincum - favorite place of Marcus Aurelius.
It is believed that, he wrote his famous stoic book, the Meditation in Aquincum.

I practice philosophy & meditation like Marcus Aurelius, I practice Gnostic Zen.

Once I needed a media player app... Ended up disappointed because the needed feature was missing.
Please consider usage of Dock ports (when console is docked).

My biggest problem is that i don't have a dock......so debugging dock stuff is hard for me

exfat usb flashdrives work from dock ports.

Thanks will check this!
Very glad to hear this app also supports docked mode.

Just disable screen dimming in Switch options before playing any movie and you should be good to go.

not needed anymore when 0.3.0 will be released (just some minutes to wait)
Dimming fixed as i report to OS that is a media playback.
Dimming is renabled on media stop (so it works only on menus)

 

[proconsule54]

Release:
https://github.com/proconsule/nxmp/releases/tag/v0.3.0

- Track selection (video/audio/sub)

Thank you king.

Will you publish your app to HBappstore? It would be nice to have PineapplePizzaPlayer there for ease of life.

The HW decoder is not exposed on libNX as far as i know.
With Linux can be easlly accesed but is not done in libNX

 

[proconsule54]

I am proud to have been liked (here or on github) from some of the most respected developers on the scene. Thanks!

Damn this sucks
I hope it will get implemented one day.
