This page is about the MPlayer port created by Team Twiizers to demonstrate the capabilities of DVDx. For the other direct port of MPlayer intended to be used with multiple audio and video formats in a wide range of popular codecs and containers, see MPlayerWii.

About

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 DVDs, just DVD-Video discs.

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.

Install

Just copy the "mplayer" folder into the "/apps" directory on your sd card and launch it via the HBC. Do not rename the folder.

Run

When launching this application you will be presented by a basic on screen menu. Though all options should be self-explanatory, here are some hints:

• 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 performace a little.
• Playing DVDs with libdvdnav is buggy and decreases performace (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.

Controls

You can use a wiimote or a gamecube pad to interact:

		Action
		Pause
		OSD
		Toggle on screen menu
		Seek 10s forward
		Seek 10s backward
		Seek 60s forward
		Seek 60s backward
		Next chapter
		Previous chapter
		Quit
		Modifier key for libdvdnav*

*When watching DVDs using libdvdnav, the buttons become modifier keys.
Hold this key and navigate with .
