Good job on sharing this wonderful update! I'm learning to adopt this hardware acceleration method to improve game streaming homebrew app. May I know how much is the performance gain if I migrate 720p h264 streaming decode from software to hardware? (like chiaki?)

As from opengl vs deko3d comparing image stat, it seems the rendering time is almost the same.

To add to proconsule answer:

H264@720p should be doable on the CPU, but with hardware decoding you can free up the CPU almost entirely, and drastically decrease your power consumption.
deko3d has much lower driver overhead (comparable to vulkan vs opengl, perhaps even slightly lower). But more importantly, with deko3d you can easily import decoded frame data into gpu textures, without going through expensive copy steps. I wrote a small snippet to illustrate this: gist.github.com/averne/ad479113b133405e6f1b68251013b47a

Putting both things together, you can achieve video playback at almost 0% CPU usage. And going forward, for network playback you'd want to use HEVC for the improved compression, which has a higher decode complexity. Similarly 1080p@60fps will typically not be achievable with software decoding without overclocking.

Touch Screen is not working for me on Version 0.8.2. I tried disabling and reenabling touch screen but touch is not being recognized in NXMP. I remember reading earlier in this thread that it was working. Not sure if i am doing something wrong or if this is a known bug.

Yes, try the openbeta if you need touch support. It works far better.

Anyone tried network source with new openbeta? It works better?

Look at this thread!

I tested ftp connexion with the old method, it redirects to the root of sd card.

proconsule54 · Dec 12, 2023

ftp is the last one i am implementing with devoptabs, will be ready soon.

I found the open beta. I have the open beta 0.8.3 on my switch now. Touch is way better than the stable version. Will there be a point where we can navigate completely with touch and no longer need the Joycons to access menus and such? It would make traveling with the switch so much easier if i only want to watch things and not planning on playing any games.

Yes, is planned to do so. but i changed many many things and the touch is not on top of the current TODO list.
But after the fs transition i am making i will focus more on UI

Growingcow · Dec 12, 2023

that is so cool, thanks for all the hard work

Tested smb. Works perfectly, connexion very fast.
For Nfs i had to enter exact path to acces the videos. Pointing to root folder of NFS leads to folders not being displayed.

not sure if this is a bug but in open beta, using bluetooth (airpods),

If i pause a video and put the switch to sleep,
turn it back later
reconnect airpod to bluetooth,
resume the video, somtimes i get some crackling in the audio.

If i stop/close the video (not nxmp) -completely, reopen it and start from the beginning again audio is fine. I can jump forward and backwards with no issues in the audio.

another bug report:

The function "going back to parent directory on back instead of same index of table" doesn't work in the latest Beta.

If you use sdl as audio output use Audren or try the deko3d version (that use it as default and only)

Why is the main menu pulled too far to the left on the TV? The symbols are cut off on the left and top...!

I've created an nsp forwarder for you !!

Does the open beta have the ability to resume a video that was watched earlier? I notice there is no resume but again not sure if this is intended since it's beta

Enable database in settiings

FTP working, new openbeta with all fs is on the way (hope so)

It could be too much trouble enabling themes at this point of development?

I want the theme system to be usable by user in a simple way, so i am redo the UI also. When all is stable i will refocus on themes.

Here it is
https://mega.nz/file/PtM1CSzQ#4QwactaHZ6_d1H-K49XVXFmvZOupMoAclbUN8LBy_oA
OpenBeta 7

Ftp ported to devoptabs using a custom library i made called ugly-ftplib (nomen omen).
NFS fixed, now it should work with directory as expected (and fast! is so fast!) @will67 check it.
Back should focus on prev directory @Beetlejuice90

Enjoy!
