I moved to an OLD (very OLD) source of sqlite that seems to be stable, probably it lacks many features a modern sqlite has but for what i need for NXMP it should be ok.
It uses native sqlite vfs so it wuold be pretty stable.

 

[proconsule54]

Its time to do a stress test on sqlite db on the switch, if all is ok expect a release in the next days full of goddies and with some fixes.
Hope the db will not corrupt in this test!

Edit:

Test done and is ok (only one problem with lock file that for strange reson not be deleted but no corruption)

About resume. Maybe it is better to use 5%, not 5 minutes?

 

[FFTW]

Dev Update:
Current resume implementation i am working on will have this behavior
If the current video position is less than 5 minutes resume will not be saved
if the remaning video time is less than 5 minutes the video is considered complete and the resume entry is deleted.

is that a good behavior for all (maybe i'll add user defined times but not in the first release)?

I think that is way too much, and I personally hope you make it way less. Like, one minute each way. It is 2.30minutes on Kodi and I still feel many times that that is too much, and it isn't like making it 1 minute will affect those that want to start from the beginning again as they can just choose the "start from the beginning " option out of the two, so I would really appreciate if you made it 1 minute instead.

Also, can you add different icons for Watched/Currently Watching/Haven't watched so that we can know with a glance the status of all the videos we have?

this sounds like the best option. maybe also set a min() for the 5%, its 6mins for 2h videos, which isnt too high, but i feel like 2-3mins is a decent minimum.

 

[proconsule54]

This is a good idea. i will do it in this way.
Or a user defined time/perc so anyone can choose with a default of 5%

Very Nice Job Dude !

But i am missing the Network Stream function..

Resume settings.
What can be a better text to understand this settings?
like 5% from the beginning of file and 5% from the end of file?

In Kodi the setting is named <ignorepercentatstart> and <ignopercentsatend> and you have to change it manually in an .xml I guess yours is pretty well understandable and also pretty comfortable.

Just for reference the default values in Kodi are 2:30 seconds from the start and 10% at the end. But I guess percent values are better overall.

Thanks to @TotalJustice in the future versions of NXMP will be support for crunchyroll and funanimation.
He sends me all relevant source code to support it and is only a matter of "merge" into NXMP to get it working.
Probably not in the next version but for sure it will be implemented soon.

Thanks a lot @TotalJustice !

do you plan to include support for flac? That would be awesome.

thanks for the app @proconsule54, great job!

 

[proconsule54]

for the audio player i probably will move from mpv to another library, but not sure when it will be.
I didn't try to compile flac support, if it will be "easy" for sure i will add it

 

[TotalJustice]

thanks for the app @proconsule54, great job!

for now at least (using mpv), flac should just work. does the file not play?

which library did you have in mind? i found mpv to be good enough for the most part, though didnt look around at anything else

Honestly i never tried but since it use ffmpeg it should play

which library did you have in mind? i found mpv to be good enough for the most part, though didnt look around at anything else

mpv is very very good but using for audio is in my opinion like using a bulldozer to move a small rock.

maybe i can move to mpg123 or others just to have the freedom of display albumart in the way i want and more important have the audio samples back ( to make some cool video effect like fft spectrum / use shaders in sync with music and other cool ideas that remind me the old times of winamp vis plugins)

but i dont think about a specific library, maybe just direcly use ffmpeg, i dont know.

 

[proconsule54]

Devel Update:
Final testing stage for release.
I have to test TONS of things. if someone want to help me in beta testing let me know!

 

[proconsule54]

New version will support HTTPS and hls streaming, thanks to ffmpeg build flags suggested by @TotalJustice

also flac support (is already present but i forgot to add .flac to allowed extension)

 

[euamotubaina]

I tried once a few days ago (in 0.3.0 I guess) and it didn't work, and I couldn't find any specific mention about flac support looking elsewhere

also flac support (is already present but i forgot to add .flac to allowed extension)

thanks man

one last thing, since we're here. the lastfm scrobbler lua script for mpv needs python, so I guess it is not portable to nxmp, right?

I'm loving the app, thanks again

 

[proconsule54]

yes, NXMP have lua support but if the lua scripts uses external programs (like python) is not portable

to test flac rename to a supported extension like mp3, it should open and play. (just a workaround to test it, in the next version the extension will be added)

thanks man, it works nice. looking forward for the next releases

First impressions on 0.5.0 beta reports only some minor issues. Thats good.
The new player ui designed by @Godorowski was liked a lot.
If others want to test it before release write it down here.
