Hello everyone! Bringing another video to make life easier for those who use Linux and see converts your videos for use in WiiMC on your Wii!

It's really good that you did a guide on this but I don't think there is a script required for it. It's just one command afaik:

ffmpeg -i ~/PATH/"videfile.type" -s 720x480 ~/x.mp4

Most distros come with ffmpeg pre-installed but if you don't have it:
arch based:

sudo pacman -S ffmpeg

debian/ubuntu based:

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Hello how are you? The intuition of the script and the video is precisely to facilitate the conversion, especially for new or lay users.

Has WiiMC gotten an update recently or something?

Probably not the best idea in the world to use pirated video files as an example in your video tutorial.

Cool I guess, but I don't see the reason anyone would even want to use their Wii as a media center device when there's so many better options.

I'm a big fan of the Wii in general so it's neat to see it still being useful (even in a limited capacity) in 2021.
