Switch Media Host is a simple python script that allows you to see your Switch screenshots, video clips, and all of your SD card contents directly from your browser. Note that you need to be on the same network as the Switch in order to see your files. This allows for easier transferring, with a simple and clean design.

It achieves this by hosting a local webserver directly from the Switch, and then the script adjusts the webpage to fit your system accordingly.

Your Switch must have access to homebrew.

Features

• Host your Switch media over LAN.
• View screenshots, video clips, and SD card content.
• Organize files by file type and game.
• Simple Custom Themes.

Installation

Download the latest release.

Extract all of the zips into the root of the SD card.

Make sure you have the latest PyNX installed.

User guide

How to use

Once you have everything installed, turn on your Switch and open PyNX from the Homebrew menu.

Open Switch Media Host.py (rename this file to 'main.py' to have it launch instantly).

Give it a few seconds to load.

Go to the URL printed on the Switch, and you're done.

Themes

A theme is very easy to make. To find your themes, go into the Config.ini file found in the SwitchMediaHost folder. At the very bottom of this file, you can see your themes. A theme looks like this:

black = black, white, lightgrey, black, icon.png, Switch Media Host

(Background color*, Font color*, Hover text color*, Scroll bar color*, Main logo, Title of page, Background Image)

You can use HTML color codes as well. To change your current theme, edit the line in Config.ini that says 'theme' to the theme you want.

Note: The scroll bar has issues with the background image, HTML issue.

Config.ini

Inside of Config.ini, you will find a few settings.The first setting is the Theme.

Change this to the theme you want, all of the themes are found at the bottom of the file. One other setting is disable-video.

With this enabled, it will not load videos on the main page (Like 1.2.0 and below). This allows for faster loading times in most cases.

Another option is events. With this enabled, on special holidays it'll change your sites theme, like Hallowee. This setting is on by default.
