Yes, but still a call for each file. In most cases directory listing with all the info can be obtained with single call. Also, using dirnext directly does mean that you do not use devoptab API, but a different approach.

Yes and most filesystem libraries internally buffer directory entries, so calling readdir is effectively just increasing a pointer. Both libsmb2 and libnfs do this for sure, as well as libnx for its posix layer. I just checked and libssh2 seems to do it as well.
I don't know about libusbhsfs and its dependencies, but I think adding buffering should be rather trivial.

A small gift/preview.
Since audio playback is a bit ugly i worked a lot to get something better for nxmp. i cant get it ready for 0.9.0 version and need more work to be ready for NXMP so to preview what i am doing a create this

https://mega.nz/file/249TjIxQ#n5zWP63ZOkHhCY6u1wvfBfx-1AZ2GUi5qsqnncNXKQI

Is called NXMilk and is what the name suggest. milkdrop for switch.
put a mp3 file called test.mp3 in /switch/nxmp/ and start it.
It should play and show some nice vis.

Commands:

• A -> change the vis preset
• + -> Exit NXMilk

All the vis are milk file UNMODIFIED.

Enjoy! and let me know what you think about it!

This is the only version i will make. is just to preview my effort for making audio playback better!

Yes, is a known issue og 0.9.0, i implemented lot of changes that broke up something (the playlist system) the next releases will focus on bug fix and stability.
Thanks for the feedback

tested nxmp 0.9.0 on 17.0.1. And it worked so as usb mounting through dockstation. Got an error though when pressing Y to return to home and then back to usb... for a few times in a raw...

I am trying to install the latest release onto my switch and am having some trouble. I have uploaded the NXMP release to the SD card and added a second folder with my video in it (there is a preexisting Nintendo folder), but the switch is not recognizing any files on the SD card. Is an SD card the preferred/only way to upload the release or is it possible to do via USB or other method?

Is there other software required that I am missing? For example, is a bootloader like hekate or other program required in addition to the NXMP release?

 

[proconsule54]

Is your switch running atmosphere?

 

[BaamAlex]

@proconsule54 I have a problem with your app. Sometimes it crashes when the movie is over. First it is black screen and then it freezes so that I have to restart the app.

 

[proconsule54]

I am in the process of making a new version with all the bugfix. The 0.9.0 was big in terms of changes

 

[HEV1205]

Is your switch running atmosphere?

No - it's pretty much out of the box. I haven't picked it up in a long time and used it minimally before then but am interested if it can be used as a video player. I'm not well versed in modifying the switch though.

But...you need a custom firmware like atmosphère for that...otherwise you can't use nxmp.

I know you are busy with the bug fixes, not sure how difficult it is to do this, but do you think you can enable subtitle selection? Or if it's there already available let me know.

It is already available. Press right on the dpad (or moving the left stick to the right should work too), then "Tracks". Inside there is an option for video, audio and subs. And inside "Subs" you can choose/enable/disable subtitles.

You explained it very well, thanks.

The right menu is the last one who need a rewrite/redesign.

Imho, it does not need a rewrite/redesign. Easily accessible and very good optimized. Every function can be enabled/disabled very quickly.

Oh my goodness how did i miss that subtitle selection doh!. Thanks for pointing it out me. NXMP is great for my morning train commute.

 

[brotherkm]

While proconsule54 working hard with his new version, for that goes my thanks, I found a little solution for app crashing after you change a track and then stop. If you set playback on pause and then change the track (either sub or audio) you can return to filelist with A safely.

Okay, so I'm wondering if i am missing something again. I have a video file that's called myshow.mp4. I also have 2 SRT files in the same folder, one is myshow.eng.srt and the other is myshow.ko_KR.srt, neither of the subtitle files show up in the subtitle screen. If I rename the myshow.eng.srt or myshow.ko_KR.srt to myshow.srt then it works. Since I share the switch with my significant other I have to rename the subtitles back and forth all the time.
