Several Wii Homebrew can play audio and video files. Best of class: DragonMedia Player, Wii MFE Port.
Audio
- DragonMedia Player is the most user friendly MP3 player. It has a nice interface and is skinnable. It has recently added ogg playback, but does not work with flac format.
- MPlayerWii supports almost all audio files but has a text only interface.
- MiniMP3 Player has a basic interface and only plays MP3s.
- Wii Mode MP3 Player is hard to set up and requires additional hardware. However, it is notable as one of the first Wii homebrew apps.
- HiivelyPlay plays AHX/HVL tracker music.
Video
All are ports of MPlayer and so will play almost anything. The first two will play H.264 480p videos (barely). All have some shortcomings.
- Wii MFE Port requires a GameCube controller.
- GeeXboX has a clunky interface and requires a USB keyboard.
- MPlayerWii can only play lower resolution files.
- Wii Miidia promises to be a full featured media center in the future.
