MPlayerWii is an audio/video player. It is a native port of the MPlayer media player. It will play almost any kind of audio file but still needs improvement on video playback.

File formats tested

  • Containers: AVI, WMV, MKV, OGM, MP3, FLV (Flash Video), MP4, M4V, QuickTime, 3GP
  • Video codecs: Xvid, DivX, Windows Media, MPEG 1/2, H.264
  • Audio codecs: MP1/2/3, Windows Media, AAC

It should also work with other formats.

Note: MPlayerWii does not play dvd videos only MPlayer made by Team Twiizers will do this! However below is an unofficial version that will read files off of burned dvds. It would be to everyones benefit if someone could merge the sources together and add all of the features from the latest Unofficial MPlayerWii to MPlayer so that there is no more confusion.

USB Storage Support

MplayerWii uses the USB mass storage support written by svpe. It is not compatible with all devices (blame the manufacturers for not meeting standards). If you are having trouble with your device, first be sure that it is supported by testing it with the USB mass storage device tester. DRIVES MUST BE FORMATTED IN FAT12, FAT16, OR FAT32!

Unofficial Versions

Mplayer dvd+sdhc+SMB.PNG MPlayerWii r20 modified by agentX (r3)

Changes:

  • If your file has a 2.35:1 ratio and you want to make it fit the screen, press 1.

If your file has a 4:3 ratio and you want to stretch it to fit the screen, press 2. To return to default press 1 and 2 together.

  • Tries to distinguish between audio files, video files and other

files. If you select an audio file it will play continuously through the folder. Press B to play next file. Selecting a video will just play the individual file. Any other file will not be recognised and not play (avoiding crashes).

A patch file is included. Source is very hacky. With thanks to DCelso & Qualith for code for continuous play.

Known bugs:

  • Using B to select next file is very touch and go. I think this is

a problem with mplayer not freeing memory properly so I can't fix it until I work out how to compile.

Thanks to rodries for constantly updating mplayerwii, samba improvements are much appreciated!

Note: Also includes the added support for DVD, SDGecko, and SDHC access.

MPlayerWii v0.05 with YouTube support

by alienmind

video, playlist and search result supported Forum post

MPlayerWii v0.03 widescreen fix

Vader347's version of mplayerwii v0.03 fixes the widescreen bug. Vader347 claims that the only real change is one chunk of code (as recommended by Pepsiman):

...

rmode = VIDEO_GetPreferredMode(NULL);

if( CONF_GetAspectRatio() )
{
	rmode->viWidth = 678;
	rmode->viXOrigin = (VI_MAX_WIDTH_PAL - 678)/2;
}

...

Note: Starting with v0.5, you could use that fix by setting the "palwsfix" var to 1 in the mplayerwii.conf configuration file.
