Homebrew Homebrew app [Release] Video player for 3DS

[Core_2_Extreme]

i've read before the CIA version wasn't useable? should i install 3DSX or can i use CIA now? I'm on O3DS btw so i know performance will be less than perfect but i'm curious about the improvements made since i last tested it. I'll make sure to run a video that matches the screen resolution this time

* Hardware decoding won't work on old 3ds
* Hardware decoding won't work in cia version

Could stereoscopic 3d video support be added?
Also wouldnt it enhance framerate a little bit if it used nearest neighbor scaling so the 3ds don't need to calculate the downscaled pixels colours

Why would you run a video player through an emulator? Just use VLC.

I was trying to use retroarch on switch to rerecord video game footage with a crt shader

I don't know if I can do it but I'll try it

I tested on old 3ds but it dose not change framerate(changes is less than 0.2fps)

Thanks Core 2 for a great app.

I tried MPEG4 / MPEG2 encoding , 240p @ ~ 24 fps on OLD3DS which run smooth.

The sound has minor glitch that produce some static noise. I hope it will be fixed in the future.

Can you please tell me the exact resolution and audio quality, for the 240p video and the original file, as well as your video player settings? Every video I've made has no audio and only plays (slowly) for a few seconds on my O3DS (even a video that is only 5 seconds long).

Please check if ndsp(audio service) was initialized correctly.

1, Open the video player for 3ds.
2, Press the select button.
3, Go up.
4, Check ndspInit()

If result was not 0x0 you should use dsp1 that allow you to use the ndsp service.

This was my problem. My 144p video now plays perfectly, and the 240p video plays with some stuttering (originally 24 fps, playing around 16-18 fps).

My O3DS only play audio, video is white/black screen (black or light theme respectively)

old3ds cannot play 240p video at 24fps because of terrible cpu.

what video codec are you using?

x264 different resolution (8 or 9 test videos)

What is the lowest resolution? Please tell me exact resolution.

oh sorry, 480p, 720p and 1080p, even though it was only one in 480p, i didn't expect the others to be fullspeed but it was just wanting to try lol

try 360p insted of 480p.
480p may cause out of memory on old3ds.

Can't wait 3D support for New 3DS

 

[Steven Lopez]

Are there plans to implement a full screen option? I think this would contribute to a more immersive experience. The full screen option could be toggled by a button press, such as Select or Start.

Another nice feature that I think would be relatively easy to implement (since the seeking code is already there) would be back and forward buttons that go back/forward 5 seconds. Example buttons could be ZL/ZR for N3DS and left/right on the D-Pad (not the circle pad because that moves the video) for o3DS.

I'll add it if it's possible.
But I'm busy now

I'll add both of full screen and go back and forward.
But again I'm busy now

Does anyone know how to easily turn dvd movies into files that work on this

 

[MarioKartFan]

Handbrake but it takes some basic knowledge to configure properly.

Hey! Whenever I try to use the screen record option my 3ds just crashes. Is there anyway to fix this?
