And i am investigation on bring NXMP multi plattform.
WIN32, Linux, Android ports will be the first, i am looking if is possibile also on WiiU and other platforms.

Since portocols are done the rest of the code is very easy to port (i am using the win32 port for main devel and then testing on switch this makes devel process so fast)

LInux will be by fare the easiest to port (using NXMP on a raspberry with a TV remote via HDMI-CEC is fun and easy).

I hope you manage to get your Media Player running on the WiU, we're dying for a Media Player

What kind of http media server is compatible with NXMP? Do I need to run Apache/NGINX to serve the files?

proconsule54 · Dec 12, 2021

Yes apache

Dev Update:

NFS is working.....BUT

HorizonOS seems to block in some way the usage of ports < 1024 for some usage (the rpc call for nfs)
so an export of nfs MUST use option insecure for the export for NXMP

This is not a big issue since is used on local network, this option was called insecure but only on a "80's" concept of security.

I will finish the cleanup and FFMPEG support for nfs (yes i'll add a protocol nfs that is not present since nfs normaly is a mount point so FFMPEG read file as a local file) and i'll send beta to testers.

With this now all protocols are supported (thanks @duckbill007 for remind me the missing NFS support)

Beta with nfs support sent to testers.

With this and UPNP done a release will come....

The new icons (they are better looking in my opinion)

Dev Update:
WiiU port investigation....
A WiiU port using the homebrew sdk is hard (very hard) no sign of opengl accelaration, and many other things..

I think it will be possible using the caffe SDK in some way but this prevents to distribute it as is a leaked software form bigN.

Dev Update:
A platform porting story WiiU:
I know that this will be impossible...but in the free time between tests of NXMP i am trying to port all the libs i need for porting to WiiU.
For sure i will never get OpenGL and other stuff (ffmpeg for example) built on wiiu. but as a start i ported:
mbedtls and libssh2. they are easy to port and maybe useful.
all other porotocols are i think as easy.

The video part will be the worst and probably impossible....

On my opinion, the harddisk and UPnP icon are in discordance with the rest of icons, in adition I pref more simple icons instead colorfull or complex icons ,but it's just my pref and im not desing expert, always gona be multiple users prefs on design stuff and nothing that can't be solved with themes on a future ^^

My test report it's done, can confirm that NFS and UPnP it's working like charm xP

If it's possible, you can count with it, he make awesome things on short time (we are more slow to test the beta builds than him to fix or add features

)

WiiU uses GX2 library (similar in some way to OpenGL 3.3) and seems to have h264 HW decoding library.
Now is "just" a matter of porting ffmpeg (with this hw support) and the GX2 for imgui.....
Easy? i dont think so, impossible? i don't think so...

Thanks for the report

For the icons i just want to have a visual icon that show the network type, in the future the ui will change a lot.
Now that protocols are all done i can focus on the UI (the hardest part for me ahahahah)

Yea, apparently GX2 and OpenGL is very similar, massive thanks for even looking into it, if you do manage to get this working on WiiU it'll make alot of WiiU users very happy

If you need anything tested WiiU side please don't hesitate to to msg me .. I'll be happy to help if I can

Super work! Btw have a little question to you: do NXMP supports DVD Video structure with .VOB/.IFO and DVD Remote control?

More about it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/any-dvd-pg-vob-ifo-video_ts-player-homebrew-for-nintendo-switch.604458/

i think is possible, but not in the next version.
Added in TODO list with medium priority

I am starting to port ffmpeg (for now a software only decoder just to check if is possible) but i lack the HW to test the stuff.

I really need a wiiu!

pwsincd · Dec 14, 2021

@pwsincd THANKS!!
i dind't know it was already ported! this will speedup my work a lot!
and already with h264 library! you saved lot of hours of work!

proconsule54 · Dec 14, 2021

Thanks to @pwsincd who pointed me to an already done port of FFMPEG

Code:

cmake          libavformat.a    libmbedx509.a  libssh2.la       pkgconfig
libavcodec.a   libavutil.a      libSDL2.a      libswresample.a
libavdevice.a  libmbedcrypto.a  libSDL2main.a  libswscale.a
libavfilter.a  libmbedtls.a     libssh2.a      libz.a

this are the already done libs ported for wiiu

now the hard part with mpv and the video out port with GX2
