NXMP is an open-source Nintendo Switch media player based on MPV and FFMPEG, supporting a wide range of media file formats and codecs.
NXMP is coded by @proconsule54 and @darkxex

It support HTTP,FTP,SFTP,Samba,NFS streaming and it also support Enigma2 decoders. Starting from 0.7.0 Version it features HW Decoding for H264,HEVC,VP9,VP8,MPEG2 up to 4K HDR@30fps

NXMP it's on early versions and active dev state so expect any kind of bugs, anyways it's fully functional and tested before every release

Awesome work! 0.7.0 will remember the videos that you have already seen/were in the middle of from the previous versions right? and will you make a version of it that can be started from the main switch menu? Thanks .

Resume can be enabled on settings (is disabled by default) a forwarder will be out as soon as i made official release

The USB works again. One thing I noticed was that when you run a big file (like a 4K or ultra HD movie) from USB, the console totally crashes. Of course I know that the Switch can't run 4K media, but with the previous nxmp version, whenever one started such files, they ran but with total stutter, but in this one, the console completely freezes. I don't know if that info is of any help, I just made some tests for the sake of it.

Going to the normal and intended use, it works pretty good and the videos are looking great.

If I find any kind of info, I will let you know.

Thank you for your work and your time, man.

Yes 4k hdr may lead to problems on my implementation of the ffmpeg with hw decoding. The library itself can do hdr 4k at insane fps but since i do stuff in opengl there are limits.

Any other test result? Dont be shy…

Thanks, but I meant the old resumes. I have been using this for awhile and have a lot of videos that I finished or stopped in the middle of, so I just wanted to make sure that the new version will carry over and keep these old resumes and not start everything from the beginning. Backwards Compatibility with the resumes if you will.

The SQLite part is the same so it should not break rhe db

Does that mean 1080p videos should be no problem when watching videos on tv? I will test the beta because i use this media player A LOT! No joke. I have a few video files that are 1080p hevc (codec x265 i guess?). I mean, i can watch them even on older versions. But sometimes there are a few stutters and very short "datamosh" artifcats visible on-screen.

Go and try it. I know exactly what you mean but I can tell you that I have tried the beta with three or four 1080p videos and that issue is a thing of the past, at least on the ones that I tried. I will try some more today.

Thanks for your fast response. I'll try it tomorrow. I love this player!

I can't get this version to work. Every time i try to load a video, the console freezes completely.

This version works better in non applet mode. Also 4k and HDR have some issue right now.

 

[Djakku]

Had an issue where the video was covering the whole screen in docked mode. Picture was displayed from the bottom left of the screen.

Can you make a image of that issue pls?

I know that will be issue so before a stable release i want to deep test. Too manu changes , ffmpeg , mpv on top..

Non applet? You mean through the album? But iirc this shouldn't be used because you don't have full ram access. Or am I wrong?

10-bit hevc is not supported for the time being and will result in a freeze. Check your file but I'm almost certain it's the reason.

But the 0.6.3 version plays the exact same file without any problems.

 

[proconsule54]

Try disable hw decoding in settings, restart app ad see if decodes.

The cons of hw decoding is that non standard file or not expected depth can lead to problems, but the pro is that he decoding is f*** fast, and the implementation of @averne is so good if used in the right way, i am still fighting with mpv to make things be stable and any feedback is important

 

[averne]

Yes, using software decoding. The hardware can decode 10-bit, the problem is that it cannot transfer it to cpu memory (at least, easily). I'm looking into ways to emulate support for 10-bit transfers.

 

[Djakku]

Hi, please see the attached screenshot.
I managed to reproduce the issue:
When the app is started from handheld then put on dock, this happens.
When i quit the app and close the title, then reopen and launch it, it worked fine.
Hope this helps.

 

[proconsule54]

This is for sure the fbo not updated with the new size. Fixing it.

 

[proconsule54]

Thanks to the hard work of @averne (you make a dream come true: HW Decoding) he managed to transfer also 10bit frame data, so HDR issue will probably go away in nxmp.

All credits for this achievement (and for many others project involving video processing) goes to him.

That's nice.
