Not open on video Julito João Balança (talk) 08:27, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

@Julito João Balança: Can you please tell use which video you are trying to see? Yann (talk) 10:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Should there also have a subpage for Nintendo Switch cases?

I guess that the web browser on Switch may also have different capability problems than what we already listed? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 21:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

I think mostly we don't know... —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:02, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

@TheDJ For these months, I've looked up some NS-related Github repos, and there looks like a possible way to play (if you don't afraid that your Nintendo Account being banned, and believe, I didn't try so):

1. Install Atmosphère hacking system
2. Then install NXMP
3. As NXMP doesn't support OGG/OGV/OGA... yet, downloaded files should convert to MPG using e.g. [1]
4. Place the generated MPG files to (manually created?) video folder, and finally play em!

Personally, I'd love to ask NXMP's repo to seek if they can support our formats. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:27, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

@Brooke Vibber, Jorchr, Stang, and YFdyh000: any suggestions on this question? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:04, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

It sounds like this is a very niche group and may not have the demand to provide an additional one. In addition, why it will not support those common container formats? YFdyh000 (talk) 17:28, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

I don’t think we should link people to hacking systems that might get possibly banned by Nintendo. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@TheDJ So, is there any ways, without any hacking to NS devices, to play our video formats used here? Anyway, I, as the submitter of this section,  Support on creating such a subpage, as I don't see any reason the Horizon OS (that the Switch uses) can be considered Unix (or at least Unix-like).
