X265 support? How high bitrate it can support? :)
It seems 1080p with a video bit rate > 8000 KB/s will cause problem, but audio bit rate seems to also influence that. From my testing, 720p seems to always play fine, some 1080p one play perfectly when other have audio desync due to high bit rate. I think it will be fixed in the future (adding multi threading to ffmpeg is wip).

very cool idea, but wich codec are supported?
All codecs are enabled/supported. I do filter extensions thought, so if an extension is not recognized I'll add it.

that's great that it even supports ASS/SSA subtitles.
does it support external subtitles too ? I use a lot of simple .srt format for my videos.

thank you for spending time on this project and wish you good luck for its release.
a video player in homebrew bounty... can you guess the result? ;)

It doesn't actually support external subtitles, but I'll take a look in the future.

Hi, i can't wait anymore, i need to share my progress, or at least, a little video of it. The player should be out soon (a week), just for christmas :)
It does handle video/audio at 1080p (1080p video and tv resolution, high bitrates will cause problems), http streaming and subtitle support (embedded ass).



Need .srt as well.

Nice. Most available media likely to be in the lower range of the 8000KB/s bitrate so I’m think it is really good enough.


Does pPlay allow audio passthrough or bitstream via HDMI ? Example AC3, DTS, etc send the audio to AV receiver to decode?

Quick question, is there a way to play videos off an FTP server or a samba server?
For now I implemented an "http client", you can browse a web server which serve files with a simple directory listing (I only tested with apache but I guess any simple/light http server will be OK). Also, http streaming does not work as local/sdmc do, as we (I?) are limited by the switch WiFi bandwidth. That said, I just implemented some buffering stuff, it seems to stream fine some 720p videos, but also some 1080p one. Loading and seeking can also be very slow.

Ah. My server hosts on ftp://10.0.0.1/ but can be accessed (and auto redirects to it if i put https:// instead of ftp://) with chrome. I'd guess that won't work?

No it won't work. But there's probably tons of light http server around, just to see if it fit your needs. I may implement an ftp browser in the future, but its not a priority.

By the way, what download speed do you guys get with ftp on the switch? I can't get more than 1mo/s, which is not very good for streaming... Is there a problem with my wlan router?

Dude, is there any chance for SMB support? I feel like smb is the shit when it comes to streaming from PC. Correct me if Im wrong :O
