Hi guys, after a lot (lot, lot) of work, i'm so happy to release pPlay 1.4, which now use threading for video and audio decoding. This is a major step, it allow using the "low" buffer option for most media (faster loading/seeking..), fix most of the audio desync but also fix audio lost when seeking. You'll still have to use a higher buffer option if you loose audio on some media. It was not intensively tested, you'll report problems!
By the way, I hope this version will be tested for the contest :=)
PLEASE SET YOUR BUFFERING OPTION TO LOW IF YOU ARE UPDATING

Horizon OS Firmware: 5.1
ReiNX version: Latest
pPlay version: 1.4
SD card format: FAT32
Loaded through HBL NSP
1080p x264 MP4 video played fine with low buffer. Had audio delay after seeking. Retested with higher buffer and the delay went away.
720p x264 MP4 played great! No issues whatsoever in playback.
720p AVI played great on low.
1080p AVI played great on low.

All my 1080p mkv files with embedded .ass run perfectly, but I'm using the cpu boost (all options at their maximum).
Edit : I didn't try the update yet.

@Cyan Could this master piece get a news on the homepage?
You're wrong, it handle native 1080p when docked. And audio Passtrough will probably never happen.

I think found a visual bug on 1.4
Start a video. pause it. the play/pause icon switch to triangle to play again while the video is paused.
press B to return to video list and pick the same or another video. press A to display the menu.
the Play/pause icon is still set as triangle (play) even if it's not paused.
Anyway, it plays fine and is fast to load and react.
I'm really waiting for external SRT support ! I watch mostly TV Shows and they rarely have embedded ssa files.
good luck on future updates.
Edit:
Another problem :
try to load any previously working video and get : unable to load codec for stream 0. (stream 0 is supposed to be the video, right?)
I exit PPlay completely, run it again. it was long to load and crashed. I'll upload the screenshot.
Ok, I added the crash picture. Not very useful, right? there's no value at all.
TitleID 36 is the the picture module? so it's more a HBL crash.

For what it's worth,you can make a simple batch script to merge subs into an MKV file with something like mkvtool. That being said, it's still a hassle I'm sure you'd rather avoid lol

Hi @Cyan,
Thanks for the reports
I fixed the first bug, which was of course the easiest one. For the "unable to load codec for stream 0", i was not able to reproduce the problem yet, but i noticed that pPlay will always crash when loading a second time (probably a problem added with the threading implementation). I'm looking at it right now. In the meantime, if you use the (unofficial) nsp hbl (https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/), the device will not completely crash, so you don't have to reboot it.
Hey guys! I've been searching for a proper guide on how to use the network feature at home but I've found nothing.
What I would like to do is to play videos from my computer over lan. Where would I start?
