Homebrew Autoboot media player to boot movies from USB loader

[VashTS]

I think it would be cool to have movie forwarder iso's in my USB Loader. I had a look into MPlayerCEs google code page but I don't know what I'm looking at. I would imagine its not too difficult to add in. I understand it would have to compiled each time per movie, but still would be really cool to have a couple movies in there.

What would be the best way to do this? Loading from network source of course, but I don't know how realistic that would be. This would save space on USB. If anyone wants to look into this please post any info here and let me know, I am going to research as much as I can.

While this project is far beyond me, if anybody does doe this, I suggest you take a look at WiiXplorer's code. If you open a media file from WiiXplorer, it can be opened by MPlayer CE or WiiMC.

that does make sense. movies dont have a naming convention. i figured this would have to be very personal, meaning each person would need to set up their own stuff. covers would have to be added manually or maybe with a simple pc app.

now i want to find those forwarders! any links you got? i've searched but not found much about it.

I'm pretty sure MPlayer CE will automatically play a file passed as an argument (I'd guess this is almost definitely how WiiXplorer does it), I guess WiiMC may do so too.

is this done by editing the source or just patching the .dol? if its by editing the source i'd be lost, i've looked through the mplayerce code but can't even find where it loads a file. i fail at coding lol. thanks for the info jj, will look into it more.
