Can you tell me how did you managed it to work? Perhaps your apache config file?
I'm trying with xampp btw.

You're probably better off with a default Apache install than with xampp, though you could try deleting the index.html file and see if it gives you a directory listing when you browse to the server.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/urlmapping.html - useful info, ensure that mod_autoindex is turned on, delete index files & place videos in your root web directory.

So, actually I use LINUX, I don't know but probably you use Windows?!

But it waa pretty straightforward. To test, I just installed appache, deleted the html file the comes in the first install and created a .htaccess file in the same folder, including the information Options +Indexes (this allow directory listing) . Then, I put the videos in this folder and it's done.

I don't remember everything that I did, it took some time but I got it working.

After the test, I moved to my raspberry server, installed Xamp or Lamp (I don't recall which one). The trick part this time, was to changen the default directory to point it to my Downloads folder. After I manage it, everything worked as a charm. I was just watching the old Zelda cartoon hosted in my local server. The only drawback is theat still takes a good time to load the videos when you hit to play it..it seems that freeze, but actually is loading...you just have to wait.

Would it be possible to add support for playlists (.pls) files? In my case the .pls files would have a bunch of URLs inside.

Amazing app. I love it man. Would it be possible to make it full touch based though? Because that way I could just leave the joycons at home and enjoy some kino films and tv shows on the go.

Yep, this was almost ready for release, but didn't had the time to polish it. It will be finalized in the future.

Cpasjuste,

Quick doubt: still talking about the network feature, is it possible to access two local sites at same time?

I mean, to inform two IPs in pplay cfg file. Like 192.***.*.**1 and 192.***. *.**2?

I have two raspberries, so it's like two different IPs to access which one.

Unfortunately no, but this is again on my (big) to do list :/
If you want to be sure I don't forget about it you can open a github issue for that!

I've been using this app quite a bit and really love it so far. But one thing that I was wondering was if there were any plans to add more rewind/fast-forward scrubbing options? Sometimes I just want to rewind/fast-forward a video like 5-10 seconds and the shortest jump that I can make currently always pushes the video forward or back about 1 minute.

Hi, i just released pPlay version 1.3: https://gbatemp.net/download/pplay.35351/ or https://github.com/Cpasjuste/pplay/releases/tag/v1.3

• improve audio decoding (fix some audio desynchronization, most 720p media seems to works fine even with medium buffering, this also fix some audio seeking problem in some media)
• add status bar (time and battery)
• add crappy "pPlay" title image
• fix some random crashes when scanning media folder

Unfortunately, i didn't had the time to add all your requests as my time is currently limited, but the work will continue

i got some issue with some 720p mkv video, audio is off after 10-12 seconds playing.
video h264@750kbps
audio aac@0kbps

Yep, I guess this one "should" not be too demanding. May I ask you your buffer and cpu settings in pPlay? Also it seems ffmpeg can't determine the audio bitrate which may be strange. If possible, could you PM me a sample?

You can't, currently. As stated in the readme it only supported embedded subtitles in ass format.

So I tried to set up a media server using Apache on my windows machine, and I can browse through the browser and other devices' browser just fine, but when trying to connect to the network on the switch, I get "OOPS timeout was reached" (almost instantly too)
Unsure why this would happen nor how to fix. It wouldn't happen to be something with 90dns, would it?

Edit: Removed forward slash after IP and it worked!

Edit2: Movies will randomly close after a while of watching

Hi @AllisonAI , do you know if the problem of randomly closing movies happen from sdcard too?
