Yes, really. Let me explain it to you. You are comparing a a S7 Edge with a 1440 x 2560 screen to a 720p screen. So you will not get more details on the Switch. I hope I made it clear enough for you.

Not really an issue at that screen size. Realistically you won't see all the detail on a phone screen, so it might end up about roughly equal to the Switch in terms of how much detail you can see. But because the Switch's screen is bigger, the details aren't so fucking tiny, making it nicer to watch videos on. Plus, bigger is always better when it comes to watching videos.

Wait, are you telling me the switch can't play videos natively ??

It can play video clips you've recorded from the album AFAIK but that's about it. Maybe the album could be modded to load our own videos.

Resolution shoudnt be a reason to crash, I also tried a 4k video and it only rendered a small part, but rendered ok

Ok guys, new release of PlayerNX! https://github.com/XorTroll/PlayerNX/releases/tag/0.2

Changelog:
  • The UI has been rebuilt: now the console is only opened when an error happens.

  • Now you can browse between videos: place all videos under sdmc:/media folder and enjoy!

Does H264 work yet? That's what most things you download will be in so it's not very useful if that's not supported.

Well, if I didn't already have a Switch, I'd run out and buy one since it now meets my requirements for a handheld. Emulators and Pr0n.

Downloaded this video in all the available resolutions in mkv format and:

144p and 360p are working fine (video displayed on the top left corner - obviously no audio)
240p and 480p not working properly (black backgound with white moving lines inside)
720p works fine but it is slow (obviously no audio)
1080p switch crashes with a white screen (need to hold power button for 10-15 seconds to shut it off)

I hope this helps digging out bugs :)

Wrong question. VLC is open-source and plays pretty much EVERYTHING.

So does mplayer. Well anything of relevance. And it has been ported to devkitpro libraries before which would hopefully give you a usable base.

Porting vlc would have to be an entirely new project and a brand new gui wouldnt it?

not entirely. I mean, it's ported over to all sorts of phones, so touch-screen friendly GUI is already done, and any core issues with compiling for ARM are already taken care of. My guess is that it's no harder than anything else, as far as porting goes.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
