Peripherals
Wiimote1.svg Loads files from the Front SD slot USB mass storage device

Music player for the Wii. It has a nice interface and is skinnable. It plays mp3, ogg, flac and other formats but does not work with wma or aac. It is a native Wii application (no Wii Linux) with the intent of being a multi-source media player on the Wii.

Usage

DragonMedia Player will pick up files anywhere on your SD or USB stick, and plays sequentially once a file has started. Simply install into the HBC by copying the dmp folder in the zip file to /apps/ and run the program. Do not rename the folder as DragonMedia Player expects things to be in the correct place in order to function. For the changelog, please look inside either the source or the binary zip file.

Supported Formats

Currently, this list is limited, as I have tried to set up the application framework before porting codecs. I am working on getting more formats such as aac/m4a integrated, and I am interested in supporting as many strange formats as possible such as spc, sid, nsf, etc, so look forward to more support.

  • flac
  • it
  • mod
  • mp1
  • mp2/mpa
  • mp3
  • ogg
  • s3m
  • wav
  • xm

Supported File Sources

Again, this list is very limited, nothing from DVD or Internet supported yet.

  • Front SD
  • USB

Future Plans

Things I would like to add when I get the time:

  • Meta tag support (embedded images, id3, etc)
  • Localizable to different languages
  • Playlists
  • File source from Internet (and DVD if documentation comes out)
  • Samba
  • More interactive theme support
  • Video (?)

Known Bugs

No confirmed bugs are known at this point. If you find a bug, please report it with steps to reproduce in the discussion section of this page.

Bug Reports/Suggestions

At this point, I'm not open to suggestions as it is too early. However, if you find a bug, please feel free to edit in the discussion of this page to let me know. Please don't take this as a suggestion to fork. I will start taking suggestions as the project stabilizes. Be patient!

DMP Themes

To install these themes, unzip them over the "default" directory under the themes directory. In the future, there will be a skin selection option in the menu. If you are interested in creating a sharp looking default theme, let me know and I'll consider including it as the official default. The one thing is, it has to be entirely created by you; no outside images.
