Despite i say there will be no new features a new one is a proper HW Deinterlace (bob,and weave) , really easy to use since as always averne had impletmented it in a very standard and proper way.

OK, i am reviewing code so NXMP can be more stable, and i have updated libs/deps to current versions (libnx,ffmpeg,deko3d,libusbhsfs) and so on.

Bugfixing all issues present on 0.9.0 will take some time but since some ugly bug is fixed right now i release this openbeta to test out things and report issues.

this openbeta uses ffmpeg 7.1 and fix nfs entry duplication bug, usb also use updated libusbhsfs.

0.9.1 Openbeta release:
https://mega.nz/file/G4EVBToA#JhJRitDsfOakFSx1Rapq5WK6KC4vCGuKJiK5UPMw26k


edit config.ini for Network Share or Enigma
Database is disabled by defualt, can be enabled from settings.

Enjoy!

My video images rotates 180 degrees and mirrors itself when docked, is that normal? I'll try the beta release.
Edit: seems okay in the beta release!

Yes was an opengl bug in docked mode, the openbeta use deko3d and work far better

 

[Trace_hunter]

Good to know thank you!

 

[proconsule54]

Anyone tried it? Any mayor issue to report? is working better?

I tried it. it works fine for me but I'm only watching videos on it locally from what's on my SD card. I don't really stream from a server or do any DLNA stuff though.

 

[proconsule54]

This version will be unaffected of visual bugs of 0.9.0 opengl.
UPNP will be enabled in next openbeta version i am working on.

Usb is working better?

 

[proconsule54]

A new openbeta will come soon with UPNP enabled.

I tested only on limited numbers of server, like minidlna. Seem to works as expected

Also a new Network config will be present in new openbeta.

the current network config with syntax :

[Network]
TESTFtp = ftp://user:[email protected]:21/path/
TestHTTP = http://192.168.1.10/path/
TestSFTp = sftp://user:[email protected]/path/ (without path it default to home)
TestSamba = smb://user:[email protected]/share/ (share is a share name not a path)
TestNFS = nfs://192.168.1.10/export/

network can be configure also in this way

[New SMB TEst]
server = 192.168.1.1
type = smb
username = USERNAME
password = PASSWORD
path = SHAREPATH

so the password can contain chars like @

Also as a side note for new network config, sftp connection can be used also with public key , i am testing the more simple way to do this.

 

[proconsule54]

ssh network share with pub/priv keys works as expected, the config will be like this

[SSH Test Pubkey]
server = 192.168.1.1
type = sftp
username = USERNAME
path = REMOTEPATH
pubkeypath = /switch/nxmp/sshkey/id_rsa.pub
privkeypath = /switch/nxmp/sshkey/id_rsa
port = 22

if pubkey is not supplied will be derived from privkey (libssh2 will do it)

i am facing a bug with software decoder that freeze the app, when i get rid of this i will release a new openbeta with many fix.

 

[proconsule54]

The bug with software decoding is gone, i rewrote part of the rendering routine and now should work better on all scenarios.
I have to do some cleanup to the code and a new openbeta will arrive! (the last one prior to the stable release and the code commit to github)

Enjoy!

thank you for all the hard work

 

[proconsule54]

Also as a quality of life change, the ui translations are now as json files in langs folder (so it can added/edited/deleted) without have to recompile nxmp.

The openbeta 2 will feature also this, i am testing all stuff for releasing it asap.

Post automatically merged: May 6, 2025

The only two builtin translation will be eng and italian (the only two i know something) for the others will be json.

Also for all my chinese friends i am looking at the file bug with chinese chars. It will be fixed

 

[andersoncardoso]

Thank you so much for your work on this app, it's great. May I ask you instructions on how to build on windows?

Also:
This openbeta version still crashes when using checkboxes when try to making a playlist.

 

[proconsule54]

The first openbeta was just to check the updated decoders and small fixes, the next will be (hope) more stable.

this is a part of the current git changes...



Enjoy!

Cool, was using yesterday watched 2 series episodes and a movie, one of the episodes simply stopped and kicked me back to the list (after 10 minutes), the other was okay, but, since we don't have any log to check what is going on I don't know if this is really relevant tho the movie was played okayish with no issues at all. Again, if anyone knows how to build this project, let me know please, I'd like to mess up myself with this program in the future ty.
