Also a i am trying to port deko3d hw acceleration from mpv 0.3.6 to mpv 0.3.9. need deep tests

Awesome , thanks mate! :bow:
on a side note , UPnP works perfectly fine in the new version. Currently i use that till you get a chance to check the direct network path.

Also try the new network entry, you can see the syntax on nxmp github page, this entry support special chars and so on on password

Hey mate,
Thanks for the update, here are my test results using github page sample config:

1) SMB ==> does not work at all , still throws "Error Connecting" and here is my very simple config

[NAS SMB]
server = 10.0.1.5
type = smb
username = admin
password = xxxxxxxxxx
path = \\10.0.1.5\Multimedia (I also tried various path types like \\Multimedia without server address but still no luck) :sad:


2) FTP ==> this partially works.
It connects to my FTP server :grog:but what's weird is , syntax didn;t like any of the path i put. I changed it to the root folder to make it work which is not a big deal.

[NAS FTP]
server = 10.0.1.5
type = sftp
username = admin
password = xxxxxxxx
path = /
port = 22



Maybe i used wrong path format, thanks again for your help :bow:

use / instead of \ for SMB share.
In your case if not a swcond level path you can use Multimedia alone without slash

@DarkMatterCore with 0.2.9 libusbhsfs the drive that was not working with last commit , works as reported by @Dmxjall81

The same drive works with the libusbhsfs 0.2.10 example application. I'm not saying it couldn't be a problem within the library, but I personally find that hard to believe after looking at their logfile myself:

[2025-12-05 17:32:43.395976880] /source/usbhsfs_manager.c:652:usbHsFsManagerAtmosphereThreadFunc -> Signaling status change event.

...

"Signaling status change event" marks the point at which the library signals the user event it creates to let its parent application know about any UMS volume changes. And judging by the rest of their logfile + what they told me they saw on the screen, the example application is indeed detecting the UMS volume change and acting accordingly.

I'm also sure this is the problematic Seagate drive they've been talking about because the logfile makes it clear:

Code: 
[2025-12-05 17:32:34.503057620] /source/usbhsfs_request.c:242:usbHsFsRequestGetStringDescriptor -> String descriptor data (interface 1346502656, language ID 0x0409, index 0x02):

[2025-12-05 17:32:34.503331868] /source/usbhsfs_request.c:242:usbHsFsRequestGetStringDescriptor -> String descriptor data (interface 1346502656, language ID 0x0409, index 0x03):
1A0345007800700061006E00730069006F006E00200053005700
[2025-12-05 17:32:34.503350796] /source/usbhsfs_drive.c:651:usbHsFsDriveGetUtf8StringFromStringDescriptor -> Converted string (interface 1346502656, language ID 0x0409, index 0x03): "Expansion SW".

I simply don't know what to tell you. I wish to further debug this issue, but if it just works under the example application, there's not much I can do.

Here's an idea: link NXMP against the debug version of libusbhsfs (latest commit) and ask @Dmxjall81 to run it and test their Seagate drive -- they should end up with a libusbhsfs.log file in their SD card root directory. If the behavior doesn't match what we're seeing here, then something else must be going on.

Ohh you are a legend :bow::grog::grog:
in the SMB i put only Multimedia without any / or \ , works like a charm , happy days!!! :grog::grog:
i created some other similar clones for other folders.... :bow::grog:.

Good news, since i am recompiling stuff i also made some tests, i ported video hw decoding to from 0.36 to 0.39 mpv.
porting was so easy since the code made by @averne for mpv is terrific (in my opinion one of the best effort on switch scene)!
I just made some changes on meson build system and on mpv init (since from 0.37 mpv uses by default strong shaders for scaling that eat all GPU power) and is working very very well. i will provide a patch for it soon (libplacebo is untouched, maybe i will port on it in the future but is a bit hard).

I will post soon a 0.9.3 version with mpv updated when i get rid of usb drive bug
Post automatically merged:

Here is the patch if someone want to try it out.

Code: 
/opt/devkitpro/meson-cross.sh switch ../crossfile.txt build     -Dlibmpv=true -Dcplayer=false -Dtests=false -Dplain-gl=enabled -Ddeko3d=enabled -Dlua=enabled -Diconv=disabled

Code: 
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

this patch is for mpv 0.39

it says that version 9.3 supports touch "ouch and controller support, control the MP as you want" . But when I run 9.3 and play a video file, there is no OSD for stoppping, pausing, fast forward, reverse and etc for a media file. Tapping on a file that's playing also does not do anything. I do have touch enabled and in the config file I see that touch screen is also enabled. Not sure what I am missing.

I tried too , there is no touch support.

@proconsule54 , is it a big deal or too hard to implement a feature like resume playing for a file that has been played before?

How can easily send http link from Android to nxmp?
Click to expand...
Run FTPD (FTP Server) on switch, the connect to your switch via FTP client
After you can edit the NXMP config file directly and add your http link.
i took a sample video showing the process , you can use any ftp client you want

Sure i can add folder, but adding link to file would be also nice. I found that tsvitch can play single video file over http by editing a favourite channel link.

what do you mean by watching a file over http? you mean an online video file over internet?

Btw , the video i put here is not for adding the folder , for easily editing the config file to add your URL
