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!

MPlayerWii was ported by rOn (aka fcorbier).
Unofficial Versions
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 recognized 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!
- Download (code patch included): MediaFire
Note: Also includes the added support for DVD, SDGecko, and SDHC access.
MPlayerWii v0.07 (r20) DVD/SD/SDHC/SMB support
Released by rodries (version 0.0.7.4, release 20). This version doesn't crash when browsing on DVD files (left, right buttons). Also, network cache and SMB streaming have improvements (Fixes: no more CodeDumps when browsing on Samba, now DivX videos are highly compatible, better smb streaming support (less glitches). Added: NTLM security protocol).

MPlayerWii v0.05 with YouTube support

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.
