Homebrew RELEASE sys-play sysmodule: Background music player for Nintendo Switch!

[XorTroll]

Hi again!
I've released NXPlay a few days ago, and I've been trying to make this sysmodule since then, when I came up with this idea.

It's a kip module which plays music in the background, no matter what are you doing.

Usage:

• Add the kip file to hekate INI (something like kip1=sys-play.kip)
• Create a text file on the root of your SD named sys-play.txt.
• Add there the names of the audio files to play, ordered as you want.

TXT file example:

audio1.mp3
track.wav
music.ogg

• Then, place all those audio files under sdmc:/media, because sys-play will try to find them there.
• Enjoy your music on home menu, or anywhere!
• NXPlay support is planned, as a tool to pause/skip audios. Sorry, but controlling cannot be used with sysmodules.

IMPORTANT! Don't use this kip with LayeredFS, as LFS uses much memory so it'll get stuck booting

Hope you enjoy it!

Great work! 1 step closer to SpotifyNX

Now Eshop music can return

Wait, so this can be used to play music at anytime during any application?

Holy shit. This is incredible. Good work!

 

[Rabbid4240]

Hold up, how do you change the music? Do you have to reboot everytime you want to change it?

It just seems to freezes for me.

No way! This is awesome thanks! Can't wait to try it out.

Do you use layeredfs?

 

[pastaconsumer]

Do you use layeredfs?

I added it to every option (except stock) and launched Atmosphere. Does it not work with LayeredFS?
Edit: Tried with non-LayeredFS and the system booted, but no music.

Wii shop music anyone? https://www.zedge.net/find/ringtones/wii shop

 

[DrFizzles]

Does it play the music even when playing a game?

 

[subcon959]

Can it be made to loop a short sample without adding any gap?

 

[APartOfMe]

This is absolutely insane. Time to grab my meme music playlist

Don't suppose there's anyway to use this with SX OS?

No, hope they add custom kip support in the future.

This is really cool, but I'm not getting any audio. Everything is configured correctly, I triple-checked, but I just get the usual silent home menu.
