RELEASE pPlay: switch video player

Hi guys,

First sorry for not looking closely at this thread, i'm a little out of development since a few months, i'm doing this since a lot of years (developing) and i think i need a little (big) beak

I did saw @ShroomKing work thought (thanks to his github PR), thanks to him for improving pPlay. I also needs to thanks @DarkMatterCore for usbhostfs I guess

Since yesterday i did take the time to merge his changes and fix a few things (including subtitles).
Please note that I was not able to test usb.

So you'll find a new version of pPlay on the release page (3.3) !

https://github.com/Cpasjuste/pplay/releases/tag/v3.3

 

Hi,

You're more than welcome, of course. The project (as all my projects) is open source, and it's one of the reasons

A few dev notes, to @ShroomKing and @Kyrn :

- I use a custom ffmpeg build because the devkitpro one is "stripped" (missing some codecs/demuxers..). You can see how to compile it here: https://github.com/Cpasjuste/pplay/blob/master/ffmpeg.sh
- @ShroomKing , there is a cmake target to build the nro (and the release package)
- You can (should) build it for linux for faster development (unless you're doing switch specific stuff, of course)
- I use CLion ide to handle the project, it's a great ide (you can get free licence on request)

 

Erf, unfortunately i can't really test usb stuff. Tomorrow i'll try to take a closer look to the changes I made, but I don't think I did modify something on the usb code from @ShroomKing. Would be great if he could debug that

For the utf part, this is something I need to do since a while in my libcross2d lib, but... well...

 

Is it possible to use an usb-c pen drive? Is it possible to debug this (usb host) without a dock at all ?

 

Hi @DarkMatterCore,

I just installed the devkitpro switch environment today on a new computer (so all is stock), but liblwext4 fail to compile. Do you have an idea of what on going on ?

 

I'm using ubuntu (20.04), and i just use "dkp-makepkg" for building. I'm used to pacman, i did handle a lot of switch packages, but i didn't want to go further yet I wonder if you could try to compile it with an up to date pacman packages (pacman -Syyu) to see if the problem is on my side.

What is very strange is i didn't had this problem yesterday on another computer (ubuntu 20.04 too) and an up to date pacman packages... Very strange...

 

Ok, it seems we've spotted a problem in latest devkitpro updates, "we" are working on it.

 

On a side note i think i'll change how we switch "devices" (sdmc/usb/http). I think i will add a custom "root" directory with "/sdmc/" "/http"/ and "/umsX" so we don't have to use a menu or so for this.

 

Hi,

I just fixed USB, sorry for that. The good news is i found a way to easily debug usb (well i mean to use usb at all). So you'll find "pPlay 3.4" on the github release page.

I plan to do a few fixes/changes in the next few days, i hope it will be ready for next week..

 

Unfortunately this won't be easy. I need to implement this in my libcross2d library, but this will require some time (it should not break anything). But this is on my todo !
