Hacking WII U Video player?

[Mizo]

I know WiiU is already dead but...is there an app to play videos? (mp4, Mkv, etc) Wii had some media players so it would be nice to have a one on Wii U

There was an update to WMC within the last few months, so maybe someone will port it. At the very least, you might be able to get a forwarder.

Lots for vWii. Nothing yet for Wii U

Im waiting for a video player too.
Wiimc needs gamepad support to be perfect for wii u but idk if someone Will implement it.

Also @QuarkTheAwesome said that he'll try to do à basic player à week ago on the retroarch thread.

You know what would be super cool... a version of Kodi for Wii U! Imagine that XBMC (Xbox Media Center) running on a Wii U!

I just wonder why the WII homebrew can't be ported to wii u? WII MC can't work in wii u mode? Or least maybe a file browser that uses the web browser's video player instead at least?

The Wii U homebrew scene is not very active. The PS3 scene is also pretty dismal... it's all definitely feasible. In another thread I was just bitching about the lack of native dedicated emulators... same issue. I guess there are just so many Wii's out there.. still you'd think something would get ported.

An HD version of WiiMC would really be nice wouldn't it?

Re: my player; using the "simple" mjpeg was a bad idea. I just couldn't get the framerate to a reasonable level. You can check out the code here: if you try it for yourself, you'll see what I mean.
