Homebrew Play videos on nintendo switch

[gianm93]

Hi, there is a way to play videos from an external HDD connected to the dock on the nintendo switch?

I remember looking up if video playback was a Nintendo Switch feature before deciding to purchase it so that I could ditch the smartphone and have some anime on my 128 GB microSD card, but what I found was that no, playing video files from the Switch is itself is something you can only do with a modded Switch for now. There are alternatives, however, like using Plex and the Switch's "hidden web browser", or YouTube and whatnot, but that's not what you're looking for.

Over usb idk, but pplay can play stuff from the sd card or from a http or ftp server.
