Nuvalo has released a homebrew port of MFE the Mplayer Front End for the Nintendo Wii. MFE will allow you to playback all sorts of multimedia files including DIVX, XVID, AVI, MPEG1/2, MP3, OGG, etc ... on your Nintendo Wii.

MFE-Wii for Wii, using wii-linux 8/4/2008

Introduction:
--------------

This project is based on the MFE opensource media player for gc-linux. You can find the original sources on its sourceforge page:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=156977

This version uses the same sources than the original, there are only some changes on the kernel and the filesystem
to adapt it to wii. It uses wii-linux to run on a wii, and the SDL libraries for this system. It will boot using
the ARAM filesystem method.

What you need:
--------------

- A console ready to run homebrew (Twilight hack + SDElfLoader 3.0)
- SDCard
- Gamecube Pad


Installation:
--------------

- Copy the files mfe-wii.elf and the directory "mfe" to the root of yout SDCard.

- Copy the ".avi" files that you want to play on your sdcard

- Put the SDCard on the wii front sdcard reader

- Connect the gamecube pad

- Launch the file "mfe-wii.elf", using your favourite method of loading homebrew.

Instructions:
-------------

Here is the button relation between the gc-pad and the keyboard:

[digital pad]: Navigate through your filesystem, forward and backward
[A]: Launch a file (play)
: Stop

Missing
-------

- DVD
- Wiimote


Thanks to
----------

- The gc-linux team for their effort in porting linux to the wii
- Isobel, for his great MFE player minidistro.

Possible, I'd like to see that happen. No homebrew has yet to use the USB ports sadly.

Won't work for me

No it can not read SDHC cards.

Works on pal, but my Homebrew Launcher (the one with the wii menu) launches it in greyscale...
Still, this movie player's pretty good. Plays m4a audio too.
I guess it's better than having to load your movie in the photo channel and then trying to sync it by putting the audio as a m4a file and making it a slideshow.
