Hey guys, I have some questions about Mplayer CE if anyone can help me out.
My wii is currently on 4.0E using the yafaze ultimate virgin 4.0 softmod. I have only installed USB loader GX and cIOS rev13b, just to get USB working. All of that works fine, however, my wife has now asked me if it is possible for me to make the wii play xvid files. I said I would look into it and here I am
So, question, I don't want DVD playback and don't have DVDx installed, I don't even own a single DVD. What I want to know, is can Mplayer CE stream files from shared drives on my PC or do you have to use a USB2 device like a portable hdd or USB stick. Also, with xvid playback, is the program a viable replacement for say an xbox with XMBC or an xbox 360? The main thing it would be used for would be playing TV eps encoded in xvid format, approx 350 megs an ep.
Last question, unsure about installing it. I have read up on it and stuff but I am confused as to the hazards. I only have cios rev13b installed as ios249, nothing else. Can I install mplayer CE without bricking my wii?
Oh, one last thing, I also have a wiikey version 1 in there if that changes anything, back from the days b4 softmods.
If anyone can help, thanks guys!
