Thank you so much for this amazing project! The usb feature is very useful for me! I loved it.

Just wondering if anyone has created an nsp forwarder for this?
THANKS!

--Edit--
never mind. I saw it in previous post.
Thanks again

Porting story:
libupnp
Porting done but i want to share my experience.
A great library made by talented developers but full of nonsense from portability point of view.
configure fail for a missing syslog.h marked as mandatory.
Ok probably is full of log to syslog entry into the code….checked all the sourcecode and ONLY an #include <syslog.h> in one file not used.
This is odd….

 

[proconsule54]

Nearly all bugs was fixed, and a new beta for testers will be sent soon.
This will be a RC version. if all is good a release will come.

 

[proconsule54]

@DarkMatterCore in libusbhsfs is possible to add an APFS file support.
I only need to read not write.

I have a noob question. I can't seem to figure out how the path for my ftp file is supposed to be. assuming my files are on c:/files, how would the path for ftp look? source=TESTFtp|ftp://user:[email protected]:21/C:\files
is this correct?

 

[Chocola]

You should include [user]:[password] on connection string like this:

source=TESTFtp|ftp://chocola:[email protected]:21/C:\files

Dev Update:
Got Samba working......need test but seems to work.
Using libsmb2 (also on ffmpeg with a custom avformat module)
Maybe if all is good in the 0.6.0 version.

 

[Imancol]

Since you are experimenting with new features. Can you add game audio codec support? (psf and others)

I am first adding protocols, then i will see what codec can be supported.
with samba all major protocols are done.

 

[proconsule54]

Dev update:
Before giving up with samba i made it work in a stable way.
Tested on a win 10 share and all is working as expected.
Ffmpeg part is nearly done and when all is ok a new beta will be sent to testers

The 0.6.0 is a very very big update with many of the requested feature implemented and also with samba protocol that i think is a unique feature in switch media player homebrew!
Enjoy my madness

Now i need your help to release. I miss many icons…..without them i cant release

I need
-playlist icon
-sftp icon
-samba icon

That are in the same style as the ones that i have used

You can see them in romfs directory of github project.

Pls help me with that.
Thanks

 

[BaamAlex]

without them i cant release

My question is now, from where do you have your icons? Selfmade? If yes, what speaks against it to create new ones for things you need?

 

[Mokiki]

You should include [user]:[password] on connection string like this:

source=TESTFtp|ftp://chocola:[email protected]:21/C:\files

OK thanks for clearing that up for me

 

[Imancol]

I'm not an icon expert, but as a consumer, it's nice to see that each icon has a different utility, but they get familiar with each other. In short, keep a Switch in front and behind to change the symbols or icons in relation to the function.

It could not be a Switch, but a custom Docker for each thing. And instead of seeing the Switch inserted in it, you can see some symbol with the function sticking out.

A concept:

You should include [user]:[password] on connection string like this:

source=TESTFtp|ftp://chocola:[email protected]:21/C:\files

the strings works fine by me but when i play mp3 files or other movie files i become only a black screen with message "Buffering Media" for 30 Seconds and there goes back to the directory

the icons was made by @bodyXY but probably is busy in this period, i sent him some messages but not replied.
I only do code, graphics is not for me.

 

[proconsule54]

Beta5 with samba support sent to beta testers.

Hope this is the last beta.
when reports are sent and if all is ok a release will come!

that sounds realy good

the C:\ is odd in ftp. probably it break the ffmpeg part.
i suggest you to fix the config of your ftp server to make a more sane path in form /files/

 

[proconsule54]

Dev Update:
Testing protocols samba seems the fastest on open/seek
also it retrive large list of files in less time than ftp and sftp.

Is there any relevant protocol missin in NXMP?
