Homebrew Mplayer-CE

[Untouchable757]

oh i new that was the problem i was hust testing it out

 

[Don Killah]

Unfortunately I'm not sure how much I can strip down; most of the bloat (eg unwanted file formats etc) is in mplayer itself which in the mplayerwii version is already compiled. I can remove dvd/usb/smb support and see how far that reduces things - I'll come back with an answer later this evening! The current dol is ~5.7MB. Does 200KB really make that much of a difference?

Ok, too bad, if it's within MPlayer's core, there's not much we can do.
Stripping it down of 200K is no big deal, but maybe you should give it a try and tell us how it went.

ok, this looks cool
I've never tested anything with network streaming before.
the readme mentioned SMB, but that seems to be a linux thing? i'm running win xp. So how exactly do I make this work?
i already set up the folder in windows as shared.

 

[NeoNight]

So whats exactly is knew with this that isn't in the 9001 other versions of the same player? lol

 

[badbwai]

Been while since I've been hacking the Wii.
Kind of lost =P

Can this version of Mplayer CE be created into a Channel? or will it codedump on exit?

i already set up the folder in windows as shared.DJDynamite123 did the readme, he says WINDOWS XP is the Best for SMB, which it is....Linux can be a "Pain" follow the readme. it's simple for XP users

yeah it does....it will work on all system firmwares. BUT if you happen to be on 3.4 you cant play DVD's as you can't install DVDX......BUG TEAM TWIIZERS FOR THAT!

Please can you read dynamite's readme.....It clearly says "It can be used as a channel" he implemented autochain for that reason, HOPEFULLY legal channels.

I still have no idea at all what to do. What exactly is smb samba? Am I supposed to install it? The website only talks about linux, I can't find a windows executable anywhere.
Or is setting up the network share under windows enough to make it work?

Yes, all you need to do is set up a share in Windows and then edit the smb.conf file in your apps/mplayer_ce directory with the correct information - for XP user is probably Guest and password 0.

for those who have tried certain USB's and they don't show up, try the folllowing.

Power off your wii.
Insert USB
Power On Wii
Load up MPlayerCE by whatever loader you are using
Browse USB

Sorry about that, we are working/testing on things, we have now updated some of them, some we have to work on.....But thanx for those posting issues on google code page, makes it much easier.

Wait it out, it will load it takes a while. I think if you delete the smb.conf from the mplayer_ce folder on sd card it might not take as long to load. I think I read that somewhere in this thread.

Mplayer seemed to successfully mount the SMB share when it started up, but when I try to browse the share it just shows the SD card contents. Am I missing something?

Using XP? it's mounted therefore it should be able to browse it, is the folder shared correctly on the network?
Maybe wait a few more moments and try browsing share....

 

[kimikal27]

so...
no help for me...

 

[ganons]

So is this the best media player out now for wii or is it geexbox?
