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
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.
