This application has been obsoleted by one or more applications that serve the same purpose, but are more stable or maintained. |
This is a native MPlayer Wii port. The main focus has been DVD-Video playback on modified and unmodified consoles. Although you can open and view various media files from SD card, this is largely untested. At this time it can not read files off data DVD's, just DVD-Video discs.
For the other two ports of MPlayer intended to be used with multiple audio and video formats in a wide range of popular codecs and containers, see MPlayer CE Wii and MPlayerWii.
Installation
Requirements:
- This application requires a valid and working DVDX stub install, please refer to its README for setup instructions.
- A DVD-Video disc, either pressed or with the DVD-ROM booktype, might also come in handy.
How To Install:
- Copy the mplayer folder into the /apps directory on your SD card.
- Launch it via the HBC.
User guide
When launching this application you will be presented by a basic on screen menu. Here are some tips while using:
- High bitrate video streams may lead to dropped frames. This really depends on the used DVD-Video. Some fullscreen movies seem to have the same issue.
- Hiding the menu and disabling subtitles improves the performance a little.
- Playing DVDs with libdvdnav is buggy and decreases performance (read: way more dropped frames).
- Choosing a DTS audio track results in noise and breaks things.
- Choosing non-playable files from SD makes it crash & burn.
- Know the amount of DVD tracks in your DVD beforehand. If you try to skip ahead a track when you're on your last track, your Wii will freeze for roughly 10 minutes.
