Tested an anime and can't seem to get stable audio working, video seems fine but even on very high buffer the audio just cuts out after a point. I'm using a homebrew launcher nsp. Seems to be pretty great though. Fantastic work!
 
So I've changed the .cfg's network part to "localhost:xxxx" but it always seems to fail no matter what. Any ideas about this?
 
Has anyone successfully compiled this? if so, can someone inform me how?

Btw, fantastic program, i have had no struggles watching my favorite movies on the go!
 
tested yesterday on sxos, works fine, smooth interface, great work. but DLNA support(plex or whatever server you use) is really must have. copy files every time is boring process, especially BIG ones.

Hi, the video/audio is probably too demanding for the switch (currently) :/ Can I ask you the video/audio resolution/codec/bitrate?

work almost perfect for me on default setting, on fw 3.0.0, via HBL.NRO, only hiccup is skipping forward on video, audio lost after resumed play back, this was on a low res dvd rip in .AVI format about 700mb in size
Thanks for all the hard work @cpasjuste

Just tried it with the nsp forwarder and I must say it's a great job!
The controls are intuitive and cleverly implemented.
For starters "buffer must be set to low", mine was at medium and it would always crash the Switch.
It struggles with high res videos (mostly sound issues)

It was able to play perfectly video with these specs:

Video 1.mp4
Video: h264 @ 1647 kbs, 1280x720
Audio: aac @ 125 kbs, 44100 hz

Video 2.mp4
Video: h264 @ 675 kbs, 1280x720
Audio: aac @ 125 kbs, 44100 hz

It had sound issues (cuts off occasionally) with this one:

Video 3.mp4
Video: h264 @ 21312 kbs, 1920x1080
Audio: aac @ 253 kbs, 44100 hz

Once more kudos to you @cpasjuste ! The level of polish that goes into your homebrews is amazing.

Suggestions if I may:
- Scrub function
- Skip with dpad (or L&R)
- Play next/previous with ZR&ZL
- Indication of seconds skipped near the buttons (5/10 secs?)
- Video pause upon pressing home button
- Last folder saved
- Ability to delete video files

Bugs:
- Locking/unlocking the Switch causes the sound to stutter (luckily stopping and resuming the video fixes it)

Both with nro or forwarder, pplay make my switch freeze.
I had to fully power-off by pressing the power button.

I tried Sword Art Online Alicization 10.mkv and Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken 12.mkv, both are 1080p.

Edit: Same with 720p videos of 30s duration.
