Homebrew RELEASE pPlay: switch video player

[proconsule54]

@proconsule54 Icon is from @bodyXY He has liked the posting, think is ok. Or ask him...

Good it will be used in the next relase (i think a bugfix release since some issue are found)

Too bad, i will try to find a DM One to test it (i can only simulate).
Sorry for this issue.

Sorry my bad. Bouquet is listed and ts stream works for some time. Picture is getting blurred after ca.15s and pPlay freezes. Pressing any button has no effect. Then suddenly a crash messages appears.

I suspect is a issue with SXOS. I can't test it on SXOS since i dont have it (i use Atmo and i am on FW 12 so imposible to test it)
If i found a switch with lower firmware i'll use for SXOS debug.

 

[proconsule54]

Anyone with a FW 13 can confirm crash on launch?

Would it be possible to add multiple FTP / Network paths? For some reason it won't read the root folder on my server but reads the subfolders fine instead.

Sure, nice idea

What FW are you using? is forkv5 working for you?

I will check if I can use both SXOS and Atmo but it will take me a bit time to read me through how to get it installed.

As an E2 user maybe you know DemonEditor. The author has implemented zapping and watching E2 content through webif both on DreamOS and openATV based images. Maybe an inspirattion for you: IhaD: DemonEditor Thread and DemonEditor files

We found the bug, Fork 5 is crashing with Homebrew Menu Loader on firmware 13.0.0, while Fork 4 is not crashing. We use this 'legal' Homebrew Menu Loader from here:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-menu-loader-legal-nsp.518433/

Every Homebrew program is working fine with this Homebrew Menu Loader, except Fork 5. Can you solve this?

Also, we tested the performance, there is improvment now, 720p is okay, but x264 is lag, the performance is same with Pplay 2.1, but not fast as Pplay 3.5.

Also, thanks for the status monitor overlay & the battery percentage, very nice.

@proconsule54
We found only two issues.

1. It crashes with Homebrew Menu Loader.
2. The decoder performance is not as good as Pplay 3.5.

Overall, Fork 5 is much better than Fork 4. Keep up the good work & thank you.

Good, knowing it i can debug the issue

You mean lag in h265 (hevc) right? Not h264

 

[proconsule54]

Next release will be bug fixes release, with minor features already done but not implemented.
I will quit this fork for bring a new video player based on diffrent UI library. Libcross2d is very good but i dont like the multi platform approach and the cmake build.
This gives me the freedom to bring many other features into a project that i can feel as mine.
Hope you all will like my effort to bring a video player as good as possible.
I will also want to thank the original pplay author, from his code i learned a lot!

It runs absolutely fine on atmosphere 1.2.0 and firmware 13.0.0 here and so far it hasn't crashed on exit either.

So what's the optimal format/encoding settings for this player?

Switch currently only can do SW decoding.
In Handled mode it have 1280x720 resolution so 720p.
In Dock mode it outputs 1920x1080 1080p

saying that, h264 is prefered over hevc (for cpu power) and 720p for resolution over 1080p if used in handled mode.

Yes, you are right, that is mistyped, there is lag in h265.
