Updated German-Translation.

Both options "Return to HB-Menu" and "Exit to Home" exit in Switch-Main-Menu.

Enigma2-Streaming should have an Buffering Timeout eg 60-90 Sec. if Stream is not decoded.
Setting "Video Deinterlace" - "No/Yes/Auto" will not be saved in config-file.

@proconsule54 I have a little "issue". I'm on version 0.8.1 and my subtitles are always black. The config says it is white. But when I start a video file with subs, they are completely black. This issue didn't appear on 0.7.1.

Is a known issue of 0.8.1, the next version will have the fix

[proconsule54]

Ok no updates but for a good reason, i want the 0.8.2 be super stable, and i am doing many test along with my testers (thanks a lot guys! You know) and sone issue are currently under investigation since are hard to reproduce.
I am working really hard for bring the best player i can, with the spare time that a working life, family and son leave me.

But be sure that a new release will come and in the meantime you can look at the changelog for the upcoming release

Good work to you and your team. Works great so far. Can't wait to watch scary movies for Halloween using the improved NXMP.

 

[bambangtales]

Good job @proconsule54 ! Your release is as stellar as always.

Yey, subtitle issue has been fixed now!

Touchscreen support still broken though. Even now touch doesn't freeze the app in the current version, but it doesn't react to interaction either to navigate the menu, file browser, nor to seek in video player via sweeping. Play, pause, stop, mute, and seeking by tapping progress bar still working though.

Also, when playing FLAC file with album art embedded or in folder it doesn't shows until near the end of my song. Some of mp3 files even won't shows the album art at all (to make sure I've been checked both my mp3 and FLAC files with TriPlayer, by no surprise the album art shown there).

Congratulations on the release of 0.8.2
I immediately introduced it to the switch and checked the my japanese translation, but it seemed to be no problem!

 

[CatcherInTheGrainField]

Nice work. Is it possible to implement resume for videos from Local Files? I didn't find such an option in the settings, videos starts from the very beginning every time.

 

[Djakku]

Hey, there is a resume function but not enabled by default:

Go to settings
DATABASE
Enable database

start saving resume info
stop saving resume info

That mean the file will resume if you played 5% of the file.
You can reduce it to meet your needs.

Hope this helps.

What is the correct syntax to log in with username, password and a non standard webif port into an E2 receiver?

Spoiler

[Enigma2]
e2address=http://root@[email protected]:8088/

Is that e.g. possible?

Should be

And here it is the new setting ui i am working on

 

[TotalJustice]

Does this support opening a file via argv[1]? If not, would you be okay to add it? Ideally the app should exit after that file has been closed

Hi @TotalJustice, respect for your effort on last sigpatch!

Is not hard to do it, i can hook the EOF mpv event to close it.
Currently it not catch argv, i will add it in next version.

Thank you! You can add file assoc file for hbmenu so if they click on a .MP4 file for example, it'll launch your app with the file path as argv1. My hbmenu / file browser that I'll release eventually will have the same thing

Edit: here's an example for mgba. Tbh I think this is the only app that uses this heh https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/blob/master/src/platform/switch/fileassoc.cfg.in

 

[proconsule54]

Ok no update for a long time but for a good reason, testing the new interface and new backend (need work) i’ll post some screenshot soon!
Stay tuned

 

[Djakku]

Take your time,
We're here whenever you need testing


Btw, i came across something interesting:
If you have an MKV container file that has a cover attached in the file, wheb you launch it with either nxmp or swtichfin, it just display the image of the movie but not the actual movie.
I had to remultiplex the files without the cover for being able the play it on the swtich.


Worth taking note of it fornthe future updates
