Briefly: this app won't be updated anymore.
Why? as I'm working on a multipurpose tool (NSPower), I've decided to add audio (And video soon) playback directly as another option of NSPower. sys-play will continue, of course, as I plan to add many stuff. Anyway, first I want to release NSPower and finish some stuff with Brew.js, plus other ideas i plan to work on.
Anyway don't worry, as this project is not dead!

What if I made a sysmodule kip which plays music in the background just like my app?

That would be pretty cool.

For anyone who wants to buy me a coke: https://PayPal.me/XorTroll/1.50

I'm sending 20 cokes to the first homebrew with decent video playback support.

I would absolutely love that. Would it be possible to make a miniplayer in the Quick Settings (hold home button) so you can stop/skip/pause/play songs?

I mean it sounds useful but who the hell doesn't have their phone but their switch lmao, I'm just the person who keeps their phone on them always

sometimes, on occasion, i have my switch but not my phone

Guys I have great news!
I've successfully made a sysmodule kip, which can be added with hekate like any other one, which plays music in the background!
I'll develop it and release it asap!

It plays music while you're on home menu, on settings app...

And with no system or music lag (apparently, I've just tested it once...)

Looking forward to this app's updates. Great job man.

Finally it's released!

So there is now a home menu music ! AWESOME.

...
It supports MP3, WAV, OGG and MOD audios.
Video support will be available soon, as I'm porting ffmpeg libs.
...

I wonder if any devs for Plex would be interested in contributing ideas...or maybe even you contributing to theirs?!? Plex on Switch would be AMAZING!

Damn! Nice work!

Now if we can just get a kip that gives us custom wallpapers to go with it that would be amazing.

The way that we're currently able to Switch between the White and Black themes, it sure does look like Nintendo designed it to be able to add more themes in the future. My bet is that they're saving them for a much later system update, that will be released after they think they've patched every known software vuln.

this is sick, cant wait for future updates!

Amazing project !
Any news for ffmpeg port ?

I believe he's waiting for WinterMute to finish porting ffmpeg first. If any progress is made, I'd imagine we'd see it here:

Is this going to get continued support? I'd love to see a fully featured media player with the works. Albums, Playlists, Shuffle, Sleep Mode playback (probably very difficult so I can wait for that one) and maybe down the road combine this with sys play module with a shortcut in the quick menu (again, difficult so I can wait)

 

[MonMonz]

Thank you so much for making this..am following your progress and hope for the video support to come soon
