So? A 4k encode downscaled to 1080p will always look better than a 1080p encode (assuming similar encoding parameters).

Nice theory, but all things considered useless.

Can NXMP switch the output refreshrate to be in snyc with the video refreshrate?
Like for example if my video runs at 24hz, does the switch output 24hz over HDMI, so the TV sets itself to 24hz?

AFAIK the Switch can only output at 60Hz.

K sorry for me nxmp was useful and more right now that have HW Decoding

This sucks :/
I hope something can be done about this

Hardware limitation AFAIK so probably not.

If you think this is a theory you are ignorant about video encoding.

Is it possible to allow SBS for “labo” 3D videos?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Never tested, will give a try

Super wow!.. It means, we can try to run and play some famous 'DVD interactive games' or DVDi on a Switch natively, like these: https://www.mobygames.com/platform/dvd-player/

In the future probably yes, for now on the new version 0.8.0 open an .iso and show the longest video track.
DVD Menu has to be implemented (mpv also doesn't support it). but can be an idea

Tested on hd-dvd image also.
BD is far more harder to support, it use java and i doubt it will be supported soon on the switch

I have a ntfs 12tb external drive can I plug it into the switch dock? And how do you safely eject a drive from the switch dock?

proconsule54 · Sep 16, 2023

The drive will be mounted when you access the usb menu and unmounted when you leave the browsing (if not added to playlist)

Post automatically merged: Sep 16, 2023

Testing all stuff for 0.8.0. Writing the huge changelog and a sort of manual for the gui interaction changes, mainly the X button.

This weekend will be probably a new stable release

This new file will reflect the changes made and in progress (the unreleased)

I'm curious how to actually utilize the Network feature. Like, I have a Windows network with a shared folder for the sake of watching anime in off living room PC. How would I most easily set something up across the local network?

Also, bug report: I can't actually find a way to exit the menu system after backing up to "Add Share". Gotta press [-] to bail out.

Try it, for samba the syntax into config file will be (Or you can add one into nxmp with add share entry in Network)

Code:

source=TestSamba|smb://user:[email protected]/share/ (share is a share name not a path)

TestSamba can be what you want, is the title of network share shown in nxmp
the Share is the network share you shared
(Or you can add one into nxmp with add share entry in Network)

On a local network you should play any contents

I uhh, think I need to step further back on those instructions. What's a Samba?

As in, I see the connection types, etc, but I'm having trouble finding something to generate those protocols for my OS (Windows 7) - Generally, just Linux stuff no matter what protocol choice.

Oh, and for what it's worth, the player works nicely.

Took me a little bit to get subtitles turned on and adjust to how to skip, but eventually I did. ~~It would be nice to be able to tweak things in-app like how many seconds L/R // ZL/ZR skip.~~ (Found it after finding the settings menu.) It would also be nice to have a playback speed setting. Aside from that, letting one of the buttons (like +) be a help screen could be cool. No idea what "Masterlock" is and searching this thread gave no answer. Also couldn't find a way to get back to the main menu after actually launching a video, either.

proconsule54 · Sep 17, 2023

Samba is the network sharing protocol used by win os

Actual screenshot of upcoming 0.8.0 (i made a bottom "help")

During playback the + button show the file browser

Masterlock disable all buttons and lever so you dont skip or stop for error.

Hello, thank you for this wonderful tool, i have a few questions if you don't mind:
1- Is there anyway to forward it to the main screen, like games and tinfoil for example.
2- Why isn't my NTFS 500gb external hdd not detected, i get a blank page when i chose usb, i am sure that my hdd is functional, are there any troubleshooting steps that i can use to help identify the issue ?

Thank you

Thank you

For point 1, maybe with next stable
For point 2 i am making something to make a “simple” debug of the status

Rewrite some code and now i am shipping RC to the testers. Hope this one works well!

There is a breaking change in config.ini now for network sources but will be documented at the time of release.

snk4ever · Sep 18, 2023

I cannot manage to reach my samba share. I tried with the GUI, with the config.ini but no luck.

Is something wrong here ?
