Mplayer-CE is a homebrew media player for the Nintendo Wii. It was initially created as a fork of the Team Twiizers [[MPlayer - DVDLib Edition|MPlayer port]], combining elements of [[MPlayerWii|MPlayerWii]], [[GeeXboX Wii|GeeXboX]] and other great homebrew contributions. It is built with devkitPro development tools, fully homebrew driven and not associated with Nintendo in any way.

*(For playing Discs) DVDx installed.
*(For playing data from USB, optional) cIOS202, either the version provided on the [https://code.google.com/archive/p/mplayer-ce/wikis/USB20.wiki Google Code page] or the version included in hermes cIOS installer (installed as 60 merged 38).

Mplayer-CE is a homebrew media player for the Nintendo Wii. It was initially created as a fork of the Team Twiizers MPlayer port, combining elements of MPlayerWii, GeeXboX and other great homebrew contributions. It is built with devkitPro development tools, fully homebrew driven and not associated with Nintendo in any way.

Some of the current features includes DVD, SDHC, USB 2.0 storage device support, multiple media, subtitle, playlist and streaming formats, customization possibilities, etc.

Note: It is recommended you use WiiMC instead.

Installation

Requirements:

  • An SD card (best results are with non-SDHC cards, SDHC will only work on 4.0 or above) or USB device formatted to FAT(32).
  • (For playing Discs) DVDx installed.
  • (For playing data from USB, optional) cIOS202, either the version provided on the Google Code page or the version included in hermes cIOS installer (installed as 60 merged 38).

Extract the mplayer_ce folder to the apps folder on the SD card. Then run Mplayer_CE with the homebrew channel.

See here for how to set up your config files for SMB shares, customising the menu layout in menu.conf, adding input with input.conf and changing default behaviour with mplayer.conf.
