Hacking libdi and the DVDX installer Released

[tahtah]

does this means you can play trucha signed discs on 3.3?

I don't know , it depends on which IOS version patchmii.dol is installing, this is certainly the IOS reloaded by the hidden channel also

edit: looking at the code, it appears to patch IOS37 and install it as IOS254.
so yes, patchmii is required

All right then, thanks for looking that up!

Greetings,

I am mightily impressed with the advances on the Wii thus far in terms of homebrew and more so with the ability to play DVD on my Wii. I'm just wondering what sort of new features we might see in any future releases that the team decide to make? I for one would welcome the ability to be able to switch between using the wiimote to change the settings of the program and accessing the DVD Menus themselves. This would be useful because of some of the troubles i've ran into when trying to watch some DVD's.

Transformers DVD - Will only load DVD from the very beggining which eventually leads to the DVD Menu where I am unable to select Play Movie because the
wiimote controls are for the mplayer program itself. I tried loading different parts of the DVD but it always loads from the same point.

Young Ones - Series 2 DVD - When i opt to load the first part of the DVD it correctly loads the first episode of the series, but i cannot start the second episode
without rebooting the program as it crashes otherwise. Secondly, being unable to select chapters from the mplayer main menu,
i'm forced to select DVD Video where i'm only free to select sections 1 to 5 of the DVD and the series has 6 episodes.

So this is why i feel that adding greater interactivity with the DVD Menu's themselves in future releases would add to an already useful program and erradicate some of those niggles that I and others have discovered.

~P~

well following some sound advice as usual on here i managed to install the dvdx , mplayer and patchmii core.

Ive still not managed to watch any video only sections of dvd menus, and some random strings of numbers on the couple of crashes ive achieved so at the minute its a bit of a no go for me (after trying around 15 dvd's) (could some of these problems be caused by my drivechip?)

Still, i am quite confident any issues will be fixed very soon and we'll have some lovely wii dvd playback

-- on a side note, anyone working on wifi playback so i can put my NAS to some use??? :-)

 

[bloodliketheatla]

has no one else had the problem of seeing the splash screen and then being able to nothing?

for those who are not having problems: at what point can you see a menu? immediately after loading? after you put a dvd in?

my menu still won't open, dvd still won't even spin....

I just tried Pirates of the Carribean 3, i have a UK version :S if that helps. When i run it on mplayer it first comes up with the special features (the bloopers) Also i tried other Titles (Title 1, title 2 etc) and they come up with anything, OTHER than the actual movie. Also when i go on one of them, afterwards i am unable to go on another, if i try to go on another Title, or play DVD, then it freezes and i have to press Home to Exit..

On the Plus side, i watched the latest Bleach (last wednesdays) It was great but was a bit slow..

 

[hippyharry]

Very cool.

Is this possible to be made into a channel rather than going into HBC everytime?

 

[samsam12]

for anyone having the menu not displaying problem, extract the zip directly into the apps folder, and dont rename it are modify it. it should work properly.

That would be a awesome idea.
The pictures could be from the loop.mov from the mplayer folder.

This works perfectly, or at least well enough to play Planet of the Apes. (Why would you watch anything else???

)

After reading some of the issues people are having installing this, I'm glad I took the time to get Wiiload and FTPii working the other day

1. Load HBC. Fire patchmii at the wii using Wiiload. Let Patchmii do it's "thing"
2. Launch the installer over the same way
3. Launch FTPii. FTP the MPlayer stuff to the Wii
4. Profit!

No I'm not gloating, I'm just recommending spending a little time to get Wiiload working on your setup as it makes running these one-time apps a lot less of a ball-ache.

 

[Kraton]

Can somebody btw make cool banner to the Wiimenu with sounds and animation?

MPlayer is working like charm, there's only very little frame issues.

 

[Adr990]

This doesn't harm the lens?
Or it still does?
I tried works great!

Twiizers!!!!
Only none original Dvd's >.<

lol...

 

[putifreak]

Is there a way to change the movie´s language?
Because I want to watch my movies in German.

 

[OSW]

burned single layer DVD - "Blade" - success
original dual layer DVD - one of the "Alien" movies - slow boot and intro sound begins, but no picture and it also freezes.

Is dual layer supported?

 

[Jax]

Tried "My Neighbor Totoro". It works great!

On DVDs with menus, it gets a little complicated...

 

[bloodliketheatla]

samsam, thanks man - i changed the filename of the /apps folder back to the orginal name and IT LOADS NOW. can't believe changing the file name was the problem (go team twiizers!)

well it doesn't matter that i got this program running because it is absolutely terrible. i tried various DVD's including originals, backups, and different regions. not a good time to release the "dvd compatible" version of the mplayer.

at least when waninkoko releases an app it actually does what it says it will do and doesn't need an update except to make it a bit more convenient. this app is far from a few tweeks away from being acceptable. far more interesting things have been released by several individuals in the past *week* than this release by a team..

 

[aardvarks]

working on my pal wiikey 3.2

What do you mean did you even try loading a DVD? it works fine and at a good framerate. It also has a nice menu stop being so picky.

Factory made DVDs work great.
I didn't try a burned one yet, and I only tried Accepted anyways though.

But I'll await the day where there's a custom system menu and when you go to the disk channel and there is a movie DVD in the drive, when you click start it will load Mplayer to play the DVD. And other cool stuff like that.
