NXMP Nintendo Switch Media Player

hippy dave · Aug 28, 2023

It is indeed great to finally see hardware decoding for homebrew, so thanks averne!

proconsule54 · Aug 28, 2023

time for a indev changelog.
So far this what changed:

HW Decoding (will be up to 4k 10bit for HEVC) supported codec [H264,HEVC,VP9,MPEG2]
SW Decoding for AV1 (yes supported but since is SW Decoding is not usable for video > 720p)
Removed WIN32 version (as is not used by anyone and future changes in gfx backend to deko3d will break this version)
Updated FFMPEG to 6.0.0 (this is the version used for HW Decoding)
Updated MPV to 0.36.0 (Needed for use new FFMPEG without issue)
Code Cleanup (removed warning on compilation)
Added Share Add Menu (you can now set a new network share within NXMP

Also for dev keep in mind that in the past weeks the HW Decoding feature had an huge impact on dev scene, many packages in dkp-pacman had been updated.

The FFMpeg now on portlibs is the one with HW Decoding compiled, but since i need also network stuff the one used by NXMP have changes for libsmb2, libnfs and so on i used a custom one. All the changes will be commited in nxmp-portlibs repo as soon as i cleaned up all codes.

A new beta will be out soon reflecting thoose changes.

Enjoy and post feedback on Open Beta.

Awesome

HDR don't freeze anymore NXMP.
But since my current video backend is still opengl the 4k HDR playback will drop frames, the HW Decoder using the right backend will do the job!

Thanks @averne for this fix!

Hey @proconsule54 , I just noticed another weird thing. The subtitles. Some subtitles in .srt format don't work with the new beta. Some do. But in the previous stable version they all work. Don't know what's the deal.

I'll keep reporting if anything arises.

proconsule54 · Aug 29, 2023

Can you link me an example of a sub not working, i will investigate it

Beetlejuice90 · Aug 29, 2023

Hello @proconsule54, I just wanted to report an ongoing error in the playback of (.ts) video files. Since a few Firmware versions it always shows a wrong video progress (e.g. 00:03 - 00:01) and the fast forward function is not working. I also like to know if there will ever be a function to play (.jpg) picture files. Thank you for your hard work, the NXMP is the best Media Player on the Switch imo.

Thanks for reporting it,i will check it with some ts i have.
jpg isn't a problem at all since is supported by mpv it will be in the next beta

Beetlejuice90 · Aug 29, 2023

Great News. The playback of 1080p (.mp4) files works great in the new beta. It doesn't crash the Switch anymore. Tested on the latest Firmware

Thanks, but for this we all have to thank @averne for the hard work he made on ffmpeg and mpv also.
I am a bit jealous of his coding skill....

Dev Changelog:

Added Stats enable/disable into right menu (i take the code from https://github.com/masagrator/Status-Monitor-Overlay/tree/master )
Changed the way battery is checked (now i think is more sane)

Have to check on real HW (i tried only on emu right now just to check if it starts)

When all il done i will post next beta (that will fix also some sub issues)

Update:
No more frame drop on 4k (non HDR)

Stay tuned!

proconsule54 · Aug 30, 2023

For video up to 1080 hevc all works ok with stock handled clocks

for 4k non hdr i have to use overclock to not have frame drop
i can't do 4k hdr for now.

added support for webm and for jpg (as requested)

Unicode is supported by NXMP but font glyph isn't present in current fontset

Thanks, I thought so. Maybe it will in the future

I like NXMP interface and capabilities, but, alas, all my folders and files are in non-ASCII characters.

How about SBS playback for watching phone-type 3d/vr movies with the LABO VR kit? Is that doable? Or was that done already and I missed it?

never thought about this, have to check if is possible

edit:
Added gif support also (maybe someone found this useful)

Time to test all for a beta release (hope a final one before stable)

Good Beta 3 just try

https://mega.nz/file/TpNwiDQJ#wl5pp6vXO5RGNd-pezRt2sGp_YhBLwMlNQErH7SpUJ4

Using libass 0.17.1 instead of libass from portlibs
UTF8 Fonts for Cyrilic and Japanese (for now but others can be used also)
Changed the way i check battery and power (Taken from https://github.com/masagrator/Status-Monitor-Overlay/) to have stats OSD (to enable on right menu just enable it)
Sould be faster
I don't know just many many small changes.....

Enjoy!

Beetlejuice90 · Aug 31, 2023

The 3rd Beta works good. Very smooth. I totally forgot about (.png) picture files, if you could also add (.png) picture file support the NXMP would support all the most prevalent picture filetypes on the internet. (.jpg), (.gif), (.webm).

Request: (.ts) file fix,
(.png) file support

Keep up the good work

proconsule54 · Aug 31, 2023

@Mougrim can you confirm utf8 cyrilic working?

Post automatically merged: Aug 31, 2023

Ok Now 4K HDR with handled clock no frame drop!

Here it is Beta 4

4K HDR 25fps decoding with handled default clock
png support added

https://mega.nz/file/TkEyAYDY#VpBgtDdDAp4zNkd27WCCmuNPte6Il9rEkAe_-pp8Ah4

Try it with 4k pls and let me know!

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

Thanks!

On another topic, I have noticed that a few video formats (most notably VOB) play but don't actually show the video's length. They show themselves as if they are always "loading", and don't save where you were in them when you close them (I am playing them off USB), so it would be pretty nice if you could fix that to make them play like normal and save where you were to resume later on

Oh, and the discs i took these videos from weren't copy protected, so the issue definitely isn't related to copy protection,

dragonflylee · Sep 1, 2023

some chinese characters ditn't displayed, follow code may be help

source/gui.cpp#L173-L199 from NX-Shell repo

urherenow · Sep 1, 2023

Do you only push changes to the repo after you're comfortable with a new release? Each commit or batch of commits used for these betas would normally be merged in other repos, but it seems the last one was in January, and it looks like a tiny tweak to the readme.
