Homebrew [WIP] ctrmus - Another 3DS Music Player

[Jayro]

According to ctrulib documentation here, double buffering is used by default. The only way this can be fixed is by creating a proper graphics accelerated GUI.

Ah, okie. Thanks for checking, I was just curious about it. It's the only "bug" I've been able to find so far. Keep up the good work!

Awesome! I have an suggestion, seeing as you can't add UI you could add little decorations with text and if you can change the font. One character that would be helpful is █. Here's a page describing it here. http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/extended-ascii-code/block-graphic-character-ascii-code-219.html

Here is a pre-release that reduces the flashing whilst browsing:

I've got some stuff to do tonight (like watching football and pigging out in McDonalds), so consider trying out the build above and let me know if there are any issues.

Cheers.

 

[Jayro]

Thanks, will do.

The minor issues in the pre-release have been fixed, so here's a new release. The console flashes a lot less, and browsing should be faster.

Updated 22-02-2017 (0.4.10):

• Fixed an issue whereby the console would flash whilst browsing files.
• Files are sorted in alphabetical order. There is no option to change this currently.

This is working great now, the few letters that flas are MUCH better on the eyes.

I use it on the bus ride to school. Although I use Moonshell on my DS flashcard for extended battery life.

Updated 11-03-2017 (0.4.11):

• Fixed an issue whereby Opus files would be played at the sampling rate of the original file that was converted to Opus rather than at 48000Hz which is what all Opus files use.
• Added support for Flac data in Ogg container.
• Updated submodules.

I will not be working on ctrmus much for the next 2 months due to exams, etc. But I will be around to answer any queries and fix any issues that people find.

 

[Jayro]

Good luck on your exams sir!

If you find this comment is it possible to make it go through the songs like a playlist? Or implement a feature to run one? Maybe im just stupid and didn't notice it... Anyways great job!!! Although for some reason 2 or 3 of my mp3s don't work.

Make sure they don't have tags with improper letters or symbols in them. Basically any characters not found on a typical QWERTY keyboard.

Playlist support will come in the future, when I pick up ctrmus again in two months after exams, etc. All MP3 files should be playing properly, so the fact that some of your MP3 files aren't working means that there is a bug in ctrmus. Could you send me a link to one of those MP3 files that aren't working via PM please? That way I can test your file and see what is going wrong.

I have opened an issue here to keep track of this bug.

ctrmus doesn't read tags currently, but it would be interesting if this is actually the issue.

Ok thanks for reply I attached "Hatsune Miku Soft - Hello How are you (haro hawayu) PV (English Subs)" onto this comment, if you find it works i'll try downloading the cia straight from your site instead of "titles.db". Thanks!!!

I think the name has nonofficial qwerty letters, I think gbatemp doesn't support mp3 uploading? Ill mess around with the name. If it still has no success ill put a link in. Thanks for reply!

You're welcome dude. Let me know if it works and what you changed. Consider uploading the mp3 file to a service like filetrip or google drive if you want me to test it.

wow, it works! the sound quality is not stellar though, even compared to my old smarthphone, but i guess there is nothing to do about that, such is the 3ds sound chip...

 

[destinedjagold]

As Jayro says, you have to use DspDump before ctrmus and other homebrew that use audio can work.

You have to run DSP Dumper from the homebrew channel first, but you only need to do it once. Then everything will work fine.

Very late reply, but thank you for the help!

 

[Wind47]

Any estimate on when playlist support will be added? I really want to listen to flac files but I don't want to have to click the next song everytime

Sorry, I prefer Nintendo 3DS Sound's GUI.
