'''Mplayer CE''' is a fork of the Team Twiizers [[MPlayer TT|MPlayer]] port, combining elements of [[MPlayerWii]] and [[GeeXboX]].
+
'''MPlayer CE''' is an active effort to maintain a native port of [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ MPlayer] for Nintendo's GameCube and Wii proprietary platforms, it uses internal libmenu as frontend with some usability enhancements. Originally based on the [[MPlayer TT]].

To read DVDs and to read external drives at USB 2.0 speeds you will need the custom cIOS USB2 modified by the Mplayer CE team which can be found [http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/files/cIOS_Installer.rar here].  For more help installing this cIOS see the [http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/wiki/USB20 MPlayer CE wiki].

=== Installation of the cIOS with/without Wifi ===
+
=== In Video ===
  
USB 2.0:
 
You need to  install the  USB 2.0 cIOS from
 
[http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/files/cIOS_Installer.rar here]
 
(Please note that this requires a internet connection).
 
There is a offline instalation available, to read the guide, visit:
 
[http://www.tehskeen.com/forums/showthread.php?p=62838#post62838 here]
 
The installer is for Homebrew USB2 only, this will install IOS202 using base
 
IOS60 and IOS36 automatically. You can select the IOS to use to do the
 
installation, so you can select a IOS with the fake sign bug. watch it download,
 
install incase it fails and returns to HBC, it should now install successfully.
 
(IOS60 and IOS36 are downloaded to SD via the Nintendo's Update Server).
 
We are using IOS60 as a base as there has been improvements in wifi.
 
Those that install this cIOS do not require a DVDx instalation.
 
 
Users without the fakesign bug cannot install the cIOS to use USB2:
 
There is a work around for this but requires you to downgrade a certain IOS,
 
to be able to place trucha into another.
 
Trucha Bug Restorer is an application in which to get IOS with the trucha bug back
 
on all Wiis (and new) with system menu up to 4.1. Usually the error codes -1017 and -2011
 
indicate that the trucha bug is required and missing.
 
Make sure you understand what you are doing before using this.
 
Only use it if you have an idea what the [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Signing_bug trucha bug]
 
is and why you need it).
 
For more information regarding this, and the download, visit:
 
[http://www.tehskeen.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=4295 here]
 
 
Once complete, Download the cIOS Installer for USB2
 
[http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/files/cIOS_Installer.rar here] and choose IOS36 as the IOS
 
in the selection screen, then Press A to install, watch it incase it fails and
 
returns to HBC, it should now install successfully.
 
 
If you plan on updating make sure to install the cIOS and DVDx before updating.

More persistent screen adjustments are also done from within the 'mplayer.conf' configuration file using three variables called '''gxzoom''' (zoom, where higher values yield lower zoom levels), '''vert_pos''' (vertical offset), and '''hor_pos''' (horizontal offset).
+
== Advanced Usage ==
  
== FAQ ==
+
Requires a loader supporting arguments passing.
  
=== HELP! Some files play back choppy! ===
+
=== DVD Ripping ===
Are you trying to play an h.264 encoded video and/or high defenition video? The Wii just doesn't have the hardware to handle it. For more information, see http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/wiki/h264
 
  
=== Turning off frame skipping makes some files play back smooth but the audio goes out of sync! ===
+
<pre>[mplayer] dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile usb:/path/to/file.vob</pre>
The Wii is just not powerful enough to handle high compression/high definition content smoothly and still keep the audio in sync.
 
  
=== Why won't my USB storage device work? ===
+
== Changelog ==
First, make sure your hard drive is formatted as FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, OR NTFS.
 
 
 
Most devices are supported by the library being used to provide usbstorage access, but some do not work due to various reasons such as noncompliance to standards. Such devices usually require special drivers to work and it would be an arduous task to track them all and write support for all of them. You can blame the manufacturers.
 
Also some drives have a bad detection, try the following, switch on USB Drive, Power Wii on, Boot HBC and load MPlayerCE, and maybe the drive will have mounted. If not then we need to make improvements in ehci module etc. There is a usb test for you to try if you have a problematic drive, please report the result [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Talk:MPlayer_CE#USB_Test_Values here].
 
 
 
==== My USB storage device is supported but I can't launch Mplayer_CE from it! ====
 
Assuming you are trying to launch Mplayer_ce from a USB storage disk using the HBC or similar loader and your USB storage device is supported by the loader but Mplayer_ce still won't load from it (even though you have already verified that all the needed files are on the USB storage disk '''in the correct places without any errors in them'''), then try reformatting the device. The problem is likely something to do with the file system on your USB disk.
 
  
=== Why don't my RM and RMVB files work? ===
+
=== Subversion ===
The wii uses PPC architecture. Newer Real Video encoded files (rmvb and some rm) only have support libraries written for x86 architecture availible.
