Update for FW 15.0

[tatundria]

Titles are showing a ? with no image after updating Switch FW to 15.0. Is it possible to update this app to make it compatible with the new FW?

[Brandon98SE]

Hello I have the same issue.

Issue:

• No games show up.
• Playtime still shows up but games do not.
• Same behaviour in SysCFW and EmuMMC.
• Same behaviour on NX-Activity-Log-NPE.

Software Versions:

• Nintendo Switch System Version 15.0.0
• Atmosphere 1.4.0
• Tested NX-Activity-Log (and NPE version) 1.3.2 and 1.4.0.
• SysMMC / EmuMMC

I'm having this issue too. I really hope it gets fixed because I would be so lost without this app!

[tallbl0nde]

I'm not too deep into homebrew anymore (haven't booted my switch for months), but having a quick glance at libnx shows that the API the app uses was changed in 15.0.0. So it may be a case that I (or someone) needs to use a new API, or wait until libnx adds the relevant API. I'll try to keep an eye on things.

[shae23]

Same issue, but since the developer explained the situation, I guess it's a moot point. I'd just like to say it was a niftly feature to have, so if you ever get around to fixing it, that would be awesome.

This seems to be the only invocation of the removed function that causes this problem: https://github.com/tallbl0nde/NX-Activity-Log/blob/09b55e72152525187d1eba15e952f39c41a6ca31/Application/source/utils/NX.cpp#L154

@tallbl0nde I love this homebrew app. I actually depend upon it heavily. I and it seems others would very much appreciate your effort in fixing this issue, for games/time to show correctly in the app, and to be exportable to JSON properly again. If you could find the time for this, please and thank you!

[pixeltester]

I exported and imported a json on 15.0.0 for a factory reset, without noticing before it was too late. Is it likely I'll be able to correct the data later? If I check manually in NX-Activity-Log the correct data still seems to be there at least.

Here's an example on how to get app playstats on 15.0.0: https://github.com/switchbrew/switch-examples/blob/master/applet/app-playstats/source/main.c

Hi,

check the content , Yellow8 only removed code ( using the deprecated functions for HOS 15.0.0) . So , basically , this didn’t solve the issue . He simply removed the output :

I have the same issue too.. :/ I really miss being able to see my playactivity.. Would have a mini-celebration if it was able to come back.. :)

This is the error I get.

It shows how to get playstats for a title nontheless.

I believe you're correct on this one, there won't be an alternative in libnx but rather the other APIs will have to be used on 15.0.0 and above.

There were similar breakages in temperature and wlan on 14.0.0 and 15.0.0 where the same happened and homebrew had to work around those.

See my PR, just fixed the issue: https://github.com/tallbl0nde/NX-Activity-Log/pull/66

[rashevskyv]

Works perfectly. Thanx a lot.

Built with @zdm65477730's changes switch.zip

Thank you for the compiled file, it works perfectly.

[tallbl0nde]

Seeing as @zdm65477730 has fixed the problem, I'll close this issue. A release will be up shortly with their changes :)

[tallbl0nde]

Can someone check if this version works alright? It has @zdm65477730's fix and a couple behind the scenes changes. I'd test it myself however my Switch isn't exactly ready for that at the moment.

If it works fine I'll bump the version and make the release. switch.zip

This version and the previous one from @zdm65477730 both give me error after selecting my user. Even if I delete the config files, I get that error.

[tallbl0nde]

What's the error?

It works on my end.

[tatundria]

What's the error?

The error is "The software was closes because an error ocurred" after selecting my user. On the other side, Version 1.4.0 works but shows no game activity now

[zdm65477730]

The APP built by me (the latest baseline on @tallblOnde) has been published to a game forum, and no feedback on failure has been received so far. @tatundria, how many user account you created? How many games you installed? Did you install any other sysmodules?

[pixeltester]

The new version works great for me and even better my data that I exported and imported on 15.0.0 looks fine again!

Thanks to @zdm65477730 and @tallbl0nde !

It works now. I deleted the previous import.json and no problem so far! Thank you!

Hi,

i also encountered crashes with this version . I will provide more elements when I will be back home . Usually the crash ( the Atmosphere one leading to full reboot ) append when trying to access the global statistics part . The accounts have hundreds of hours of playing time and thousands of sessions

[canope-25]

Do you plan to update the playeventparser ? https://github.com/tallbl0nde/PlayEventParser/releases This can help since it generate logs ( not the case with nx activity log ). It’s quite strange , I don’t understand why but something is not ok, the entries of the games i bought after the 15.0.0 release are not reported ( the play time is visible in the chart but nothing about the game in the detail ). The standard NX Profil page report them .

I have the same issue. Some games are reported in the total playtime, however the data seems to be there as when I sort by most playtime on the standard nintendo 'All software', it seems to be correctly sorted when shown by 'sort by total game time'.

[canope-25]

I also played with the refactored version of zelda3 (ALTTP) available on GitHub ( nro over applet and full memory mode ) with MSU deluxe audio. ( still have a genuine cardridge of the game !!! But the MSU part motivated me to play it again ). Maybe this can generate issues regarding the playing time ?

[canope-25]

this is the content of the atmosphere log related to the crash.

The console crash with the following actions :

• access to all activity ;
• access to the title filtering function in the setting part

[canope-25]

Update: The issue seems to be related to some kind of database corruption . I removed the cardridge from the console , deleted the update and all the data ( after backuping the save ) , rebooted the console and restaured all the elements . Activity logs are now ok .

this is a case for which the charts provide information related to the played time but nothing at the bottom and the total playtime at the top is at « 0 seconds »

[Whaaooo]

Hi, the version made by @zdm65477730 doesn't work well for me.

In All Activity, I can see 6 game titles out of the 100+ I have played on my Switch. The 6 games showing are consistent in the recent Activity section meaning that for some days I see no titles at all and for some other days, if I happened to play games from the 6 showing in All Activity, I will see those under my time stats.

For the games that do show, the time stats given look OK.

I also noticed that the total playtime in Recent Activity only accounts for the time played with those 6 games EVEN THOUGH that the graph is accurate.

[AlbertoPetri]

I've tested @tallbl0nde build and in my case is not working (AMS v1.4.0 and OFW 15.0.0.0)

• No crash when selecting user but,
• Recent activity is missing games and
• All activity crashes atmosphere without stack trace information (all addresses are null)

I'm open to test new builds as necessary

[canope-25]

Hi , Updated previous posts .

the crash still occur with HOS 15.0.1 ( released today by Nintendo )

regards

[ForMyCats]

Wanted to say that for me the build by @zdm65477730 that @tallbl0nde posted above works flawlessly and my initial impression is that it appears to be accurate for all my playtime. Thank you so much @zdm65477730

Can you check the « all activity » menu and share a screenshot with us ? For us , this is working only for accounts with only a few hours of playing . Can you also check if the « title filtering » option in the settings is working ?

thank you

So, that's my all activity. Running 15.0.1 at the moment.

And that's it sorted by title. I'm not running I to any issues, but maybe I don't have enough playtime.

You can check your sysmodules/tesla overlay plugins enabled in your Switch since the Applet SW has a memory limitation. For example, the NX-Shell v4.0.0 can't run directly under Applet mode, it can be run under Application mode(press R and open a game you installed, then run the App).

The commit in my PR is just use a new libnx API to replace the old one. Please disable sysmodules in contents folder and disable the tesla overlay plugins and try again. BTW, you can also run it under application mode.

[Peter-Fy]

When I select Settings -> Hide Titles, the app crashes after a few seconds. I use the version made by @zdm65477730

Hi, I encountered the issues in both Applet Mode ( through the Photo viewer ) and Full Memory mode ( by holding the trigger and start a game). So, the memory shortage issue is quiet strange for the second case .

the issue seems to be caused by something else but I don’t know what . The issue was not there with HOS 14.1.2 and the previous api usage .

To complete , apps triggering memory shortage ( in applet mode or full mode ) don’t usually generate atmosphere / hos crash. The issue is quiet strange

This is normal, the code rely on the playstats database (through PDG:qry) , so no play means no stats and no filtering

[canope-25]

I beging to thing that the issue is related to possible garbage entries that are part of the database . The previous way of collecting the title ids possibly didn’t have to deal with them ( automatically cleaned by the api ) and now something need to be done in order to check the content before populating the Title Ids list.

What to you think about this ?

Why do you say it relate to garbage entries in database? And I don't think the garbage entries will be automatically cleaned by the API. From the test result of many users in a game forum, they have no such issue, although it real exists.\

We need to find out the root cause of the issue, or make sure it is relate to the garbage entries in db.

[canope-25]

Hi, The thing that make me think about garbage entries is the problem i shared previously about a game (cardridge) i own that was not reported correctly (only the charts are ok , nothing about the name of the game , the played times) and for which i have to delete all the elements (updates, savegames) and reinstall again in order to solve the issue .

[zdm65477730]

OK, seems you could use @tallbl0nde 's tool to check all the play Event.

This is why I asked if the other tool is working .

the PlayEventParser’s release note mention the ability to:

• Now dumps any 'unknown' events

Thank you ! I just check the changes you’ve made . So basically something about the way the dump is started ( any keys vs + in the previous version ). I was not able to find a binary build version, if you can help us and share with us a version ? Have you tested it already on your side ?

I will test the binary build at home this afternoon ! ( if available ). I’m at work now and … without the NX .
