Hacking DragonMediaPlayer

[killplaystation]

A new homebrew project has launched which is called DragonMediaPlayer - essentially it is a native Wii application (no need for Linux) which has the intent of being a multi source media player for Wii. It currently only supports a limited set of codecs, but with time this will of course grow! More at Wiibrew

QUOTESupported Formats

Currently, this list is very limited, as I have tried to set up the application framework before porting codecs.

* it
* mod
* s3m
* wav (8/16/24/32 mono/stereo)
* xm

I'm sure its a great application but who uses any of those formats it needs mp3 support.

i'm looking forward to future releases of this app, especially when it supports video codecs and replace the current mfe

.

sorry to sort of threadjack but I was wondering how limiting is wiilinux? I've never done much anything major in the world of programming, but I'm tired of waiting and would like to help maybe. I figure wiimiidia is a fake, so...

if I could throw on even just xvid+mp3 and samba support onto wii linux and make some sort of decent front end for it, I'm sure most people would be more than content with it. I know I would

I do.

Very nice! MP3 and skinning support makes this one a keeper.

I wonder if DragonMinded is behind this....

I wonder if DragonMinded is behind this....

The meta.xml would confirm that.

By the way, I created a new theme and icon addon package here, if anyone's interested.

The theme looks great

Matches the wii menu theme very well.

 

[Gnac]

I guess the lack of a theme.xml in my theme package didn't ring any alarm bells?

Well, that stupid mistake has been fixed. You can see a preview of the (updated!) theme here.

when was the link updated? i downloaded it like 2 hours ago and the xml file is there

 

[Gnac]

Approximately three hours ago, but I'd recommend redownloading it anyway, as I made several improvements. The bar was raised after seeing on the Wiki page at Wiibrew what others had produced

 

[killplaystation]

it was very recently updated from .04a to .05a. Does anyone know what was changed?

I think this MP looks really good. But without being able to play Videos....
