Anyone able to create a Custom NSP for this? I tried but it had Issues.

The player is great, but something I noticed is that is not hiding macOS meta "._" files, wich make it looks like I have duplicates when I'm browsing the videos. I also think it would be great to have some touch controls like the ones I use on my phone.

@TotalJustice @proconsule54 Honestly, I feel flattered. I'm not really that good, but I'd be more than glad to help if you guys ever need it.

I am sorry you don't feel good, and thanks for all your work (libusbhsfs is great and works very good in NXMP).
I made ffmpeg works with libssh2 so sftp problems are gone.

Nice suggestion, is not that hard hiding files start with dot.
I'll fix it.

Never tried, sorry.
i think that it might have folder problems.
this player is in active dev state so an nsp in not conveninent since the nro changes quickly

 

[proconsule54]

To make new release i have problems with icons, @bodyXY that makes all the menus icons is probably busy at the moment and i miss some icons, without them i can do a release.

 

[Chocola]

Design stuff and me we are enemies, but I can give a try

Here you go:

Nro path: switch/nxmp/nxmp.nro

The Icon file has to be 256 x 256, had to crop otherwise image was stretched. Player is in active dev state, someone can make a perfect nsp/icon later on.

Dev Update:
Touch control works
Beta sent to testers

A very BIG thanks goes to the switch scene developers!
Without the hard work of all the developers behind sdk, library ports, and so on NXMP and many other homebrews will NEVER exists.

I agree
A big thank to you too for the dedication, really something to applaude.

The ssh implementation with linssh2 for ffmpeg is for now only readonly and only for file read (no dirlist) and using only password auth. This is due the fact that i made it very quickly and just to make it works.
I am working on the complete implementation (working on mingw64 also) and publish it on github.
Maybe it can be usefull also for others.
The patch is very very simple, just one file to add libssh2.c into the libavformat, 3 lines on configure and 2 lines on protocols.c . This also leave the default sftp implementation with libssh untouched and user selectable (or libssh or libssh2).

 

[proconsule54]

And now i have a question for @DarkMatterCore and you all.
There is a samba library (any) that can be used on the switch.
I just need that it works and have just some basic methods, open/close seek/tell
read with userdefined len.
So i can add samba and major protocols are done
Thanks
