Left it overnight. Still stuck at Scanning New Files

Give this one a run... same idea as before. Let it scan until it gets stuck and then take a look at the log to find the last entry.

Also regarding why it's not showing the same number of files - TriPlayer only looks for files ending in .mp3 or .MP3. So if you had .Mp3 (for example), they would be ignored. Also mp3tag handles more than just MP3's, so you may have other formats in there. If you don't have other formats in there, I'll have to look into this further.

NOW it works perfectly. It stopped at a much earlier file, so I redid it, then noticed 2 .mp3 Files with _ in the name after it. Redid the Names, and now it is working perfectly

Suggest adding a Listing by Folder along with the Playlist, Songs, Artist, and Albums

Glad we got to the bottom of it! A few people have suggested that, so I'll definitely give it some consideration.

I might write a little script which can automatically rename a folder of files (on PC) in order to remove the bad characters. Hopefully that'll help reduce this problem in the future

Awesome. Great App and SysModule for the Switch

. Especially for Racing Games, so Users can have their own going

Is there a way to give the music cover art

Would it be possible to implement a feature to mute all other audio besides triplayer? Perhaps with a toggle from the overlay?

In some games I do not need the game audio and this would save manually muting each game from their settings.

Love the work you've done on this, one of the best homebrew by miles!

I'd like to do so, but I'm not sure if it's even possible.

It's not that big of a deal, since it can be done manually.

Also, a major annoyance I've found with this is that I have to create a new playlist and add each song one by one. I have a .m3u8 playlist file and there seems to be no way for the app to read that or import it into a new playlist.

Is this something that could be implemented?

That's certainly something I can implement, I'd also probably incorporate it so that playlists can be exported in the .m3u8 format too.

EDIT: @Oscillate would you be able to upload one of yours for me to test with? It seems fairly simple but I'd like a real world file to test that everything works properly

Perfect thank you! I have attached a bunch of mine, they vary in size so should be good to test.

@tallbl0nde , i got few questions to ask:
1) How to start the triplayer sysmodule using tesla overlay menu? Seems like it got an error if i do this. Is it can only be started through the .nro file?
2) Once i opened the nro file & then when back to home without playing any song. Then i accessed the triplayer using tesla overlay menu but i cannot play the song? Seems like i need to play any song first by opening through nro, only then i can access the play/stop in tesla overlay menu. Is it like this?
If it possible, i want to start the triplayer sysmodule through tesla overlay menu & straight away play my songs in there. Hope to hear your reply soon.

1) It's not possible, TriPlayer is designed that the application starts the sysmodule as it performs a few checks, etc.
2) Yep that's how it works. The overlay is basically controls everything, without being able to actually queue songs. Think of it like the controls a phone's lock screen.

Regarding doing everything through the overlay: it's not feasible at the moment, when the application says "Preparing your library" it's doing a bunch of things behind the scenes to ensure everything is working properly (such as checking all file metadata is up to date, etc). While the overlay could do these things, it definitely does not have enough memory to do so, plus it would take way longer due to how overlays run on the cpu.

If you want to do everything through the overlay I recommend sys-tune, however TriPlayer takes a different approach mainly due to interacting with a database as opposed to simply queuing files off of the sd card.

I see. Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate it.

Hi @tallbl0nde
Is folder play on the to-do list?

Yep it's planned. I'm a bit unsure on how to actually do it though as I've never seen this feature before

Should it list all folders that have songs in them, or should it make you navigate through them one by one (similar to a file browser) to get to the folder you want? I'd love to get some feedback from you and others so I do it properly!

Thank you very much Sir for taking the time.
Yes folder play is similar to a file browser and when you navigate to the folder it shows the songs it contains which you can play as a playlist.
If you have a Samsung device, you download the Samsung Music app and give it a go.

Thanks! I actually use Samsung Music every now and then and didn't even notice there was a folder option

Version 1.1.0 is available now! It adds both FLAC and WAV support, as well playlist import/export along with a few fixes. Unfortunately I missed a bug in my update code which causes the installation to fail when updated in-app. Because of this you'll have to manually copy over the files and reboot your switch to ensure everything is good to go. I believe I've fixed this for future updates

You can find it here:
