{{notice|'''This page is reserved for feature requests, and general discussion about the application and the page itself. Please ask questions and discuss bugs on the [http://www.wiimc.org/forum/ WiiMC Forum].}}
== Feature Requests ==
Extracted from WiiMC forum suggestions, with status (if answered by developers). Patches are always more than welcome!
=== Media Center Basics ===
An actual Home Media Center (comparing to HTPC apps, XBMC etc.) is supposed to have these functions:
* show which subtitle / audio language has been selected (with d-pad up and down)
* Screen saver with timer to avoid burn-in: fade, full screen visualization or position changing playback info
* Display(&search) information about the selected/playing media file (info in id3 tags, [http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Import_-_Export_Library exported XBMC nfo files], album covers, movie and TV Show posters etc.)
* Zoom / pan / rotate when viewing pictures
* Search online media with on-screen keyboard, bookmark/favourites (shoutcast, youtube etc.)
* Indication if media has been listened to / watched
=== Controls ===
* Shorter than 30 sec forward/rewind seeks (the next suggestion would solve this one as well)
* control volume of music playback
* On-screen keyboard for numeric settings, or at least the ability to change the value in both directions, without limits and to reset it to the default value. (subtitle delay should be possible to set to eg. -300s or +180s)
* change sort order in file lists: name, ext, date, size ascending and descending at least
* [http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/navigation/breadcrumbs.html Address bar / Yahoo bar / Breadcrumbs] when browsing folders
* Wrap-around file list when using the d-pad (scrolling past the bottom takes you to the top and vice versa)
* Continuous scroll when holding down a button on the d-pad (file selection keeps moving as long as a key is pressed)
=== Settings ===
* Support for setting subtitle size, color, position
* Dir play option: play video files in one folder after one another automatically (or video playlist similat to audio playlist)
* setting to make video/music/... folder option unchanged, not remembering the last used folder, but always opening to the same folder
* Setting to disable internal DVD drive on Wiis that are incapable of playing any DVD anyhow (it is a trouble to skip trough it from Music to online, always gives error)
* Support buttons on the nunchuk / Classic Pro to have more buttons available for direct access to functions
=== Software features ===
* Prompt where to exit when home is pressed: HBC, Wii Menu or shut down
* Password masking (***** when entering passwords)
* Quit to HBC or the wii menu when freezing (like mplayer watchdog)
* Prevent HD playback, prevent crashing upon accidental trying to play HD files
* Sleep timer (timed shut down of the playback, application and console)
* Audio visualizations
* Windows Network browsing and/or UPNP support (complex problem, requires implementing a completely different protocols than what is needed to access specified shares)
* FTP and SMB (samba) file playing
=== Hardware support ===
* support for USB / BT keyboard
* External DVD device support
=== Not possible ===
* CD playback: Wii hardware cannot do that, it is DVD only.
* 720p and 1080p playback or downscale: Wii hardware cannot output more than 480p and CPU power is not enough to even decode, not to mention downscaling.
* Deinterlace: CPU has not got enough power / mplayer filters are not optimized.
* Actual Stop button: to stop (not pause) - Not needed, you just have to understand the playback logic described above.

I cannot wait to try this! I hope the volume control for DVDs is better than MPlayerCE. [[User:Kage52124|-Kage Korosu]] 20:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

The player is really classy, would like to see a bit more on the music player screen though, the right hand side is just crying out for ALBUM ART!

: Before we add more features like that, I think it's more important to make sure the existing ones are stable and perform well. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 17:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

So far the interface is a lot better than MPlayer CE, including SMB support. Except two features don't work for me: subtitles and USB keyboards --[[User:Unbibium|Unbibium]] 21:51, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

: USB keyboard will never be supported. There's several reasons for this, but the simplest explanation is that it adds additional code and processing that's truly unnecessary. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 23:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

''Virtually any format''? Have you any consideration for all the chippy/banky types? :) DragonMinded put a bunch of work into supporting a lot of the tracked formats ([[DragonMedia_Player#Supported_Formats]]), and generously shares his sourcecode of it. Do we have a chance of anyone adding side support for these? That would be cool, especially in that they could now finally be loaded from across the network. --[[User:Zandro|Zandro]] 20:39, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

: No chance. This is a port of MPlayer. So WiiMC supports most of what MPlayer supports. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 22:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
