Doesn't start on system version 5.1.0|AMS1.2.0|E

P.S.: please check orthography on github on readme.me
E.g. "Netowrok" and "Eningma2", .. .

vd-lavc-threads = 4
I don't think you need 4 when you have access only to 3 cores

This appears to be sourcing considerable amounts of code from the pplay project (eg, the mpv.cpp file).
Pplay has no explicit license, thus all copy rights are reserved by its original developer. Did you contact him?

You are right, but not a considerable ammount and only using a little portion of it. I forgot to check the license used ( no license) . I will remove it soon.

Yes i know but with 4 works better. Strange but true

Hi,

I don't care if you (or anyone) use any code from me, but you should have mentioned my name at least

 

[proconsule54]

hi cpasjuste, you are right i dont mention you, my bad.
I made a fork of your project and than moved to this new one, i forgot to make mention.
If you look at the code only a small portion was used, that will soon be replaced.
Normaly i make it (take a look at my github) but making all too quickly i forgot to add it.

I want to thank you for pPlay, i learned a lot in terms of coding style.

I'll make mentions on README now, sorry fot that.
(done, sorry for this misunderstanding)

Edit:
I have sent a beer to apologyze

Yeah thanks. You don't need to remove any code I don't care, it's on GitHub to be used. Just remember that

 

[proconsule54]

Any major bug found? Report it please.
Dev update: working on usb support.

 

[proconsule54]

USB is fully working, up to 32 device can be used (in theory, i have tested only on one i have)

Congratulation, very good job, NXMP is faster in video decoding & FTP than pPlay ever.
We tested a h265 file which lags in pPlay 3.5, but NXMP plays it with minimal lag.
Also, mpv.conf file works well in NXMP.

Here is the bug list, what we found:
1. FTP file browsing/playing make software crash frequently.
2. It's not possible to return to root directory during file browsing in FTP.
3. Masterlock does not disable Y button.
4. After pressing Y button, it's not possible to return to stream, which is in the background.

Missed feature:
1. It's not possible to select subtitle / audio streams during playback.

Overall, NXMP can be the best media player on Switch. Keep up the good job & thank you very much.

 

[proconsule54]

Thanks @tataniko for bug hunting, your help is very important.
I am rewriting the browsing routines so point 1 and 2 will be fixed in next release.
Also point 3 and 4 will be fixed as well.

The stream selection is in the todo list, and will be implemented.

 

[Fgamer]

Can you add a config setting to define a default video directory like pplay has?

My primary job is to recover our true self, which is the eternal life (∞).
ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΑΥΤΟΝ (Gnothi Sauton) - Know your true self.

However, I am very happy to help you & the kids to get the best media player on Switch.
