After 5 minutes, the screen saver will probably goes on and the screen will darken in handheld mode. Have already made all the settings but nothing helps.

im using this on sxos, since its the only way to use external drives, and i believe it works fine. but the text doesnt show up specifically when i use the external drive. my goal is to be able to just plug in a flash drive with the program and videos, and play without removing the sd card from the switch or anything like that, but i cant figure it out, help would be very much appreciated

Please add .srt. It is very popular subtitle than .ass to be honest with you.

As of now, HEVC file playback is very choppy. The Tegra X1 processor that the Switch uses has support for hardware HEVC decoding according to https://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-x1-processor.html.

Thank you.

I could recompile it so that it has support for 9.0 since when launching it it does not detect the buttons.

I tested the network part of the player, and if a path is too long, it will refuse to browse to that folder.

I tested a path with about 85 characters in total.

Using FTP, I can't see symbolic links on an ftp server

it's 20:00

When closing the APP via the exit button included on 2.0 it froze my switch. Tested using a 1080P video and 720P.

I was running a full reset, fresh install of ATMOSPHERE 0.6.0, while also running the app via the home brew launcher, via launching it with a system game so it had full ram access. Besides that, this is an amazing program and thank you so much.

Bonjour Cpasjuste,
It would be great if multichannel audio sources can be played in surround mode when docked.
Currently it seems to be a stereo downmix even if surround option is enabled in switch system.
Thanks

theres a bug when playing video in which the first frame can be seen but only color changes happen and no frame progression, audio works fine tho (i was watching a 90 minute long movie that was recorded using obs and put onto my switch, the video is 1920 by 1080 and 60fps)

Hi great to see finally a great working video App for the Switch.
Could you please add NAS support? (SMB)

If you apply Korean subtitles, the language is broken. Can you fix it? Please.

Playing the same files I played fine before updating, now freeze or studder. It is a fresh install of atmo.

I am currently running 2.1 on sxos and i have loaded my sd card with a movie but pPlay is not seeing the movie. When using Nx-Shell the files are present, and files are playable on windows.

Hi I am Watching a 1080p movie but after sometime the video starts to get slow/stuttering until it's freezes but the audio was fine the only problem is the video.
here's what i'm currently using OS and versions
SX OS: 2.6.1
pPlay: 2.1
HBMenu: 3.0.1 (not installed, just an NRO only used by holding R then opening it at ALBUM)
Firmware Version: 7.0.1

After updating to 1.2 after starting pplay after few seconds i get black screen and can just to restart.
1.1 still works

When I start Pplay I got a Black Screen

It's too heavy for me with Joy-Con.But touch screen not work

When I pause a video, then seek forward or backward, it starts playing again, but the play button does not change. I'm using pPlay v1.4

I think it should still be paused or at least change the play button accordingly.

As the title, pplay doesn't seem to parse 'user: password@severadress' format if password includes '@' symbol.

Is there any way to write a ftp password includes @ symbol on the config ?

pPlay was working perfectly until I used it in docked mode and at first it started crashing the app in docked and handheld mode but now it crashes with a cyan screen which needs a reboot to get rid of.

Remap the keys:
ZL for long seek back
L for short seek back

ZR for long jump forward
L for short jump forward

A button for play/pause
Y/X button for playback speed

Or just a input.conf to manually rebind the keys to a function

I put some movies is mkv in SD card,but programs didn't show those on menu.

Hello,

While using a remote HTTP server to retrieve a videos listing, it appears that some unicode characters such like "ç,é,è,à" aren't showing correctly on screen, sometimes resulting in weird behavior when trying to play them.

The most problematic one I've encountered which will always result in the file not playing and sometimes freeze Pplay is ' . I know this apostrophe is often moved out from files names due to its problematic nature, but it's a thing many files could still have it embedded, especially in a language such as French.

I would then appreciate to see them supported inside the player, or for the least not to cause Pplay to hang and refuse to play a video because of the patterns.

Thanks already.

please check the app on a nintendo switch and you will see that only a quarter of the screen is visible.

A lock button to pretend I'm playing a game！

The menu works fine but a 720p .mkv video froze the whole thing and a 480p .mp4 didn't play.

Would you consider adding HTTP basic authentication? It seems to be as easy as

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "james:bond");

The username and password could come from the URL, or as separate config parameters.

This would be extremely useful for sharing private video collections outside of LAN.

I know how difficult making UIs can be, but I noticed that pPlay's is fairly basic. I am in no place to judge, as I wouldn't have been able to make anything better, but I was thinking that a Kodi look might be interesting. If there was just a slightly more intuitive file manager, it could easily pass as a commercial media player. I would suggest a thumbnail (if possible), maybe a default media folder, and some sort of simplistic UI. A scraper that pulls posters of recognized shows and movies would also be an interesting idea. I hope you consider some of my recommendations; I likely would have tried to implement it in myself and create a PR if I could actually use C++ and libnx.

Hi guy,

pPlay is very good for offline play , I use MPV on my macOS also . I read some issues of this repo , some people requested NAS support/UPNP support/https /http basic auth and so on.

pPlay support http method ,but it is not good enough for online play . I suggest to add WebDav support which could match all the needs of LAN/ internet/NAS . Switch only support 1080P ,so the performance in the LAN between UPNP/ WebDAV/HTTP /SMB is the same .

Alternatively, could support Plex API

Hey I would like to build and run your project locally to maybe add some features to it, but I can't figure out how to set it up properly. Maybe you could add a simple description of how to get it up and running to the readme? Thanks

Hi ! I was wondering if you could a audio and subs delay feature in the options/settings, for example with value in ms and + or - before the value.

would be useful when using a Bluetooth dongle+headset for example or just out of sync file (audio or subtitle)

thanks for your work, it's a great app :)

Please add support for srt subtitles when streaming from a ftp/http server.
Currently, when playing media from a ftp/http server, srt subtitles won't be detected and used. ASS subtitles included in the mkv container will work fine.

is it possible to search the usb ports on the dock (when docked) for media files in attached usb hdd's or thumb drives/usb sticks

The string seems to be broken if it is not in English in the http directory listing.
Do you have any plans to fix this issue?
If you don't, could you guide me on which source to do the encoding process?

Could samba / smb support be added ?

Notable devices that utilze samba:
TripMate Networkshare devices.

pPlay v3.1 breaks FTP access functionality for me.

I checked the CFG file and deleted the cache folder as troubleshooting steps. I checked my firewall settings. The work around is to use the 'hippy dave' GBAtemp resigned v2.1, FTP works again without issue using the same CFG file, I just overwrite pplay.nro and it works. Copying over the v3.1 pplay.nro breaks it again and the Network option from the menu simply appears empty when accessed.

Can you please look into this and why v3.1 is breaking FTP support? Until then I'll have to stay back using the HD signed V2.1 until fixed. Thanks for your time and effort.

PC OS/soft: Windows 10 64-Bit, FileZilla FTP Server
Switch: FW 8.0.1 Emunand CFW Atmosphere 0.9.4

Whats not working: FTP access in pplay v3.1
Temp workaround: Use v2.1 / Hippydave v2.1 (for 9.0.1 FW)

fixed by restarting system and rescaning folder (in first try in gives me incorrect filenames).
All videos was avi and hd

Hello
Can you add external hdd, pendrive support via USB please?
Thanks

This is an enhancement idea.

The idea is to add an option to download videos from a network drive to watch them later on the go. I'm currently copying videos to my SD card to do so but the process is not really efficient : I need to remove the SD card, transfer to my card, put it back in and relaunch fusee-gelee.

Having an alternative, one-click way to do so would be really nice.

I was testing pplay, and when I tried playing "[AK-Submarines] GIRLS und PANZER der FILM v2 [835F8E63].mkv", the subtitle lines would be abruptly cut off towards the right of the screen with a copy of the leftmost text.

It appears to be a rendering error, as the text can be cut off mid letter

I have a couple issues:

1. When I play a 1080p video, the Switch still uses 720p output.
2. When I play video the subtitles won’t show up. I’m trying to play an .mkv video without embedded .srt subtitles but rather with the subtitles in the same folder as the video, with the same name as the video.

Also some ideas for improvement:
• Watching YouTube videos (YouTube app requires NNID) and Twitch streams
• Internet radio
• Add support for audio files (with album art) and pictures
• Set default directories for music, videos and pictures
• An equalizer (normal/vocals/headphones/small speakers/loudness/extra bass/custom EQ)
• Picture adjustment (aspect ratio/overscan/zoom/brightness/contrast/gamma/sharpness/colour)
• Video de-interlacing playback

Could you please consider adding a license file to your project?

As it stands I'm not sure of the legality of distributing something that statically links to an LGPL library without a license.
In any case, I would appreciate being able to use parts of your code :)

When watching content on the latest version (and also happened in 2.0) the system would randomly freeze forcing me to force shutdown the switch.

i tried to watch some movie....and stopped it on some time...but after stopping video and skipping some time....my audio-output become nothing and i could saw only video without sounds...fix it plz

I've noticed that my web server doesn't always sort files by name correctly, I was wondering it's possible to implement this into pplay rather than relying on the order from the web server?
