HxSwitchVideo

A HaxeFlixel library for @:native video playback using MPV for the Nintendo Switch.

Install through the haxelib (Not available yet):

haxelib install hxswitchvideo

or with git for the latest updates.

haxelib git hxswitchvideo https://github.com/Slushi-Github/HxSwitchVideo.git

Then add it to your Project.xml file:

<haxelib name="hxswitchvideo" if="switch" />

You will need the following libraries from DevKitPro:

(If you are on Linux/macOS, you will most likely need to use sudo dkp-pacman instead of pacman)

pacman -S switch-dav1d switch-ffmpeg switch-libarchive switch-libass switch-libexpat switch-libfribidi switch-libmpv switch-libplacebo switch-libzstd switch-lz4

Here is a simple example:

// Import the library
import switchvideo.SwitchVideo;

// Create a SwitchVideo object
var switchVideo = new SwitchVideo();

// Set the video to loop (Before loading the video)
switchvideo.setLooping(true);

// Load a video
switchVideo.load("path/to/video.mp4");

switchVideo.onEndReached = function() {
    // Do something when the video ends
}

// And just play the video
switchVideo.play();

• Define SWITCHVIDEO_LOGGING on your Project.xml file to enable logging.

• You can override the switchvideo.backend.SwitchVideoLog.logCallBack variable, by default it uses haxe.Log.trace but you can change the logging behavior, for example:

  switchvideo.backend.SwitchVideoLog.logCallBack = function(msg:String, ?pos:haxe.PosInfos) {
      yourLogger(msg, pos); // Add pos if your logger supports it
  }

• @doggywatty: For initially creating the entire integration between MPV and HaxeFlixel to enable video playback on Switch Funkin', literally did everything I didn't dare to do, heh.

• hxvlc: This library takes inspiration from hxvlc for mantaining a similar API.
