To read DVDs, you will require [[DVDX]] "normal" / "default" install. To read external drives at USB 2.0 speeds, you will also need the custom cIOS USB2 modified by the Mplayer CE team, which can be found on the [http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/downloads/list Mplayer CE downloads page]. If you install this, then you do not require a DVDx install at all.

−Most devices are supported by the library being used to provide usbstorage access, but some do not work due to various reasons such as noncompliance to standards. Such devices usually require special drivers to work and it would be an arduous task to track them all and write support for all of them. You can blame the manufacturers.

Also some drives have a bad detection, try the following, switch on USB Drive, Power Wii on, Boot HBC and load MPlayerCE, and maybe the drive will have mounted. If not then we need to make improvements in ehci module etc. There is a usb test for you to try if you have a problematic drive, please report the result [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Talk:MPlayer_CE#USB_Test_Values here].

Assuming you are trying to launch Mplayer_ce from a USB storage disk using the HBC or similar loader and your USB storage device is supported by the loader but Mplayer_ce still won't load from it (even though you have already verified that all the needed files are on the USB storage disk '''in the correct places without any errors in them'''), then try reformatting the device. The problem is likely something to do with the file system on your USB disk.

+=== Why isn't NTFS supported? ===
−MPlayer CE uses libfat to read from FAT filesystems and it would need a similar library to read from NTFS. No such library has been written. Support for NTFS can be enabled through linux, but MPlayer CE does not run on top of wii linux. It is a direct port.
