Can't wait! Could you implement the jit patches m4wx created for intensive emulators like mupen64. It increases performance a lot without the need of overclocking.

This is not possible, but not really needed too. Most of the 1080p movies I tried runs now full speed at default CPU speed

Hello guys!

First, thanks for your support in the previous messages

Else, an update for pPlay is soon to be released, and it's a major one I think most of the problems should be fixed. It now correctly handle multi-threading (major speed improvement), correctly handle subtitles (but also external subtitles!), no more crashes (it seems), fast and usuable http streaming, and many more improvements. I didn't find a media which doesn't play fine yet, well except 4k videos... (They still play thought, but not at a usable rate..)

There's no visual change, but you'll now be able to really enjoy any media on your swtich! Can't wait

Im 43 , as my 6 year old daughter would say to me in a very fatherly way , "Cheers Bra !".
No end of use out of the first version .....

So, i have more information about performances (and it's really good, to me). I tested some heavy 1080p trailers, and here are the results:

John Wick 3
- Trailer 1 upmix (Lossless): MKV H264 @ 33 Mb/s, PCM 5.1 Lossless @ 7 Mb/s, 522 Mb => full speed without cpu boost !
- Trailer 1 upmix (Lossless): MKV H265 10 bit @ 19 Mb/s, PCM 5.1 Lossless @ 7 Mb/s, 301 Mb => lag at any clock...
- Trailer 1 DTS-Neural upmix (Lossless): MKV H264 @ 34 Mb/s, DTS-HD MA 5.1, 606 Mb => full speed with cpu boost !

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
- Trailer 1: MP4 H264 @ 10 Mb/s, Dolby AC3 5.1 @ 640 Kbps, 233 Mb => full speed without cpu boost !
- Trailer 1 (Lossless): MKV H264 @ 33 Mb/s, PCM 5.1 Lossless @ 7 Mb/s, 725 Mb => full speed without cpu boost !
- Trailer 1 (Lossless): MKV H265 10 bit @ 10 Mb/s, PCM 5.1 Lossless @ 7 Mb/s, 417 Mb => lag at any clock...

Into The Cave Of Wonders (4K)
- Short (4K): MP4 H264 @ 12 Mb/s, AAC @ 255 Kb/s, 785 Mb => lag but well, it's not so bad after all

Does new version support audio pass-through ?

No, and it wont happen soon i guess.

Could it be possible to have USB support? And thank you Cpasjuste. This is one of the greatest homebrew imo.

AngelDrop · Mar 26, 2019

Cpasjuste, sounds like you really have stepped things up.
Much appreciated. Excellent work!

Naked_Snake · Mar 26, 2019

Really love this app it’s amazing, I don’t have github but would the new version have fast forward and rewind features, that’s the only thing I think this app is lacking

Hi, i dont really see the need for this as there is the skip buttons, no?

Ok fair enough, thanks for the reply

@cpasjuste more so map them to joy con or pro controller buttons is what I meant to say like the skip

I think this L/R buttons are free so why not.

Correct me if I'm wrong but afaik libnx doesn't support USB completely yet.
But yeah, it would be awesome if pPlay and some emulators would have USB support. Especially pPlay obviously.

As long as I can play videos from a NAS with pPlay's network feature I don't mind though (didn't try it yet but should work).

And damn here I thought you gave up on the project. Many thanks for your wonderful work.

I have recently used pplay onboard an aircraft and realized how much it drains the battery. A full charge lasts maybe 45 minutes. I had to watch my 2hr movie plugged in, and the charge rate cannot catch up with the drain, so I still ended up with a drained battery after finishing the movie. Is there a reason pplay drains battery so much? Is it because decoding is done on the cpu? I remember hardware decoding is very easy on the battery. I used to watch hours and hours of video on the psp.

Yes. It's the best we're gonna get for now, until hardware decoding is available.

Cool happy to hear that this project is still alive! I noticed on the last release that skipping was a bit wonky (Sometimes it would keep the GUI on the screen sometimes it would hide it so you had to bring it up again, and also it would take some time before it loaded after skipping)

Will this work better in the new update?
Also as someone mentioned it would be awesome to be able to skipp with the shoulder buttons. (Especially for us anime fans, those anime intros can get quite annoying after a while hehe)

Did you enable overclocking?

For me it's not that bad.
Recently watched a 40 minute movie while on the train and that only got my battery down to like 40%. Maybe that was because it was only a 720p file?
