BrowseNX closes after a few minutes when watching videos with the message "This screen will now close"

BrowseNX closes after a few minutes when watching videos with the message "This screen will now close". The problem exists with the last version 0.4.1, as well as a self-compiled version (with libnx 4.4.2-1). I am using AMS v1.5.5 with dns_mitm and exosphere enabled under an emuMMC on FW 16.1.0. BrowseNX is run by title override to use the maximum available memory. I have already searched for solutions to the problem on the web, but nothing can be found. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Did you find any solution/fix for this?

The browser timeout mechanism is not well understood, but for the 20 minute timer in the connection applet, it's a result of doing 600 failed GETs to the connection URL.

To troubleshoot this, it might be interesting to set the DNS (either via dns-mitm or in network settings) to use 207.246.121.77 (90dns) for the connection test domain.

In dns-mitm, the line would look like: 207.246.121.77 ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

If the share applet is doing some kind of similar check, these DNS changes could address it by making sure that "success" is returned for that check.

In dns-mitm, the line would look like: 207.246.121.77 ctest.cdn.nintendo.net

Thanks for the tip! I will try it with this line in my host file (dns_mitm).

Edit:
It does not work. No connection is established.

Huh, it should at least succeed the connection test. Maybe a conflict with another dns-mitm rule?

I tried on PC with /etc/hosts but got:

$ curl ctest.cdn.nintendo.net -v
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< X-Organization: Nintendo

That X-Organization header and the 200 is what makes the connection test pass. If you don't want to keep testing, i can try to replicate later today. Last I tried to reproduce the issue in browsenx though, I wasn't able to get it to timeout.

Could you post your latest FW info, and dns-mitm config?

[muxi1]

AMS 1.8.0
FW 19.0.1
default.txt

However, even without this entry, I can no longer connect to the Internet with BrowseNX. The HB Appstore, on the other hand, works perfectly.

Thanks, also at least for the switchbru entry (Line 14) the IP has changed to 92.204.211.16:

92.204.211.16 *switchbru*.*

That should make the BrowseNX landing page load (unsure about timeout still)

Thanks! Timeout problem still exists, but at least the browser establishes a connection again.
