Could you add an option to auto-load subtitles? Either a specified language or just the only available one. If watching Anime or anything else that requires subtitles it's kinda annoying having to load up the subtitles for every single episode
 
Bugs, doesn't seem to matter what videos I use, and never happens in the same place, so I'm not sure how I can help you narrow these down tbh:
Audio cuts out for 2-10 seconds.
Audio stops completely (often after the above.)
Subtitles start 'shaking' and start merging, until all you get is a subtitle line which has characters all over the place & looks more like a garbled static image. Disappears and reappears at proper times but it will be the same image after this point.
Frequent crashes. The more media you play the more likely it becomes that it will crash, tends to happen when I do something like pause/unpause or start a new video.

I mainly watch anime and have watched a couple (2 or 3) of movies, I haven't noticed these problems with movies but it could be because I haven't really used it for that. All the anime is subtitled, some of them require an audio track switch. The issues seem to crop up faster if it's with an audio track switch, and they will start from the very first load. I can rarely watch a whole episode and almost never more than one.

6.2 & Current stable SXOS, cpu boost on, low buffer, full memory available.

Are you throwing large files with heavy decoding required . The container type you are using matroska ? or ... ? I play lots of smaller files not tried a movie on it - only TV shows and all were ok .What i am getting at is that your hopefully not trhowing 5-10 GB MKv's at it ?

They vary in size, but generally around 400MB-1GB, nothing near 5-10GB aside from the 2 or 3 films I've watched which were around 3-4GB (and worked mostly fine.) edit: and yeah, they're matroska containers.

As for details from the app:
edit2: I should specify, these three are from different anime series & rips.

Do you have any better luck using same files down sampled to avi or anything ? - More curious so that i don't have that o shit moment on a flight .
 
@MVG Lmfao 8:18. This app is called pPlay not peepee play. portable Play.




Also
not sure I've heard you mention NX-Shell's music player, book and comic reader in any of your Switch videos
 
I really hope the development is not stopped. I love this player and it needs a lot of improvements.
But I should thank the developer for the effort he made thus far.
