NXMilk is a trivial audio player for Nintendo Switch. It uses FFMpeg for audio decoding and projectM for the vis. The GUI is made with ImGui.

This project started as a test class for new audio player for NXMP.

Features

• Wide audio file format support.
• Vis using projectM library.
• Support Japanese,Chinese,Korean Cyrilic fonts.

• (Optional) Copy milk files in /switch/NXMilk/presets/milk/.
• (Optional) Copy texture files in /switch/NXMilk/presets/Textures/.
• (Optional) Copy timidity.conf and GUS patch files in /switch/NXMilk/timidity/.

Edit Config file NXMilk.ini:

[AudioPlayer]
startpath = /switch/NXMilk
milkpresetspath = /switch/NXMilk/presets/milk/
milktexturespath = /switch/NXMilk/presets/Textures/
interfacehidesec = 10
usebuiltinpreset = true

Since file extensions for audio file can be very "exotic" starting from version 0.1.0 enabled extension can be added also on config file

[AudioPlayer]
startpath = /switch/NXMilk
milkpresetspath = /switch/NXMilk/presets/milk/
milktexturespath = /switch/NXMilk/presets/Textures/
