Will be loading all my Alex Jones webisodes on my Switch for this.

Of course as the only way to endure them would be in B/W and without audio.

This looks really awesome! Using this in combination with DVD Decryptor and Handbrake (or any video software), you can watch full-lenth DVD's on your Switch and then flick it in your dock!

This cannot get any better!

I hope TX will 'borrow' the code and built this into SXOS 2.0, it will be so convenient.

They can easily borrow the code as it is public, but if they borrow directly MY code and not just ffmpeg libs... Without giving any credit...
I keep saying the same, for me SX OS is the cancer of the scene.

Dream come finally true!

USB support would be better

I wanted to make a player for mkv/h264 but i wanted to use hardware codecs because tegra has h264 codecs. Hard to find info on that though.

Resolution shoudnt be a reason to crash, I also tried a 4k video and it only rendered a small part, but rendered ok

You know the screen is 720p right?

 

[Asia81]

You know the screen is 720p right?

Noooooo, really?

 

[Eternam]

Noooooo, really?

Yes, really. Let me explain it to you. You are comparing a a S7 Edge with a 1440 x 2560 screen to a 720p screen. So you will not get more details on the Switch. I hope I made it clear enough for you.

The reason I suggest TX to integrate a video player into SXOS is because current hardware accelerated API is proprietary and cannot be used by open source project like this. SXOS is already illegal, their code is not on GitHub - no one cares what they put inside their boot.dat.

Videos loaded well and played great. As a proof of concept it got me excited for the future where i can load my movies on it and watch on the go.

heres to audio and better frame rate!

 

[YuseiFD]

Wait, are you telling me the switch can't play videos natively ??

 

[MonMonz]

I think i will keep an eye on this
