Only nro, I'll take a look to make an nsp.

Great app! I noticed my 720p MKV would crash the switch console if buffer was set to medium or above using the NRO, but setting it to low buffer and no cpu boost it seemed to have fixed the issue! I am looking forward to an NSP forwarder when it comes.

Also, I don't think I can fast forward or pause any videos... with any of the custom NSP media players I have made in the past I was able to use the NX video player like you would with hulu or youtube but this player doesn't have those features, will that be made available in the future?

Do you mean its not working? (Press either down or button A to show the player "menu").

Oh wow, I am dumb... thanks! haha
I should have noted this in the readme thought.. Seeking can sometime make audio desynchronized on high resolution/bitrate videos, I'll also work on that soon. Also, for now you can only seek 1 or 10 minutes, I'll have to find a better way to add more option (I wanted something simple to use without shortcuts and so). Touch support is almost ready thought, so it will allow seeking via touching the "timeline" bar.

Overall really good work! Glad to have alternative video players to NX player and making custom media player NSPs, this makes watching videos a breeze!

This works just perfectly for my current needs. You've made our christmas a bit tastier as we can watch movies with my Switch now, thanks!

Just to let you know: It didn't play a MOV file due to some audio problem. Converted it to MP4 (h264) and it worked.

Thanks :). mov container should work, can I ask you the video/audio codec/rate (shown in the filer) of the mov file?

Actually, I wanted to create an NSP with NRO2NSP but the menu is broken after that and the video is only played in small. Had an extra icon made, if you like it, you can have it, before it was for vain. Write me and I'll send it to you

@cpasjuste

Furthermore, I have a problem. When I watch a movie, the screen darkens after a few minutes. Is it possible to set this somewhere or can you fix it via a fix?


Btw, great work!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
