Also, I'm going to move the project over to sourceforge or google code so it'll be much easier for developers to submit new code and patches.
There we go: http://code.google.com/p/mplayerwii/
All developers should email me to get SVN write access
I know it has been requested serval times, but please add subtitle support. Thx.
Also loading avi files off DVDs and/or playing DVD-Video would be great too.
Is there any plan to add support for playing rmvb files? rmvb is the video format from Real Player. It's quite popular for record TV drama in China. :)
Playlist support would be extremely appreciated, as well. :thumbup:
In time a nice GUI would be ideal.
A bug I found... A couple times when I've paused an avi film for a while (about 10 minutes each time) when I resume playback it chucks me out of the film back to the film select?
Overall though the usb playback is now fantastic on this 0.06 release! :)
fcorbier keep up a good work , nice to see u back on forums still developing new versions .
sanderevers ,I think subtitles is in place already, just rename .sub file with same name as avi in same directory .
I am very impressed with this indeed! The first version Ive used is 0.06 and, in my USB tests, it works great! :cool: Ive got an 80gb external on order to test next :p
It works great on my 160gb usb drive so I'm sure your investment will be worth it too Nick! :thumbup:Quote:

v0.07 released - fixes color depth/banding issues and adds a progress bar durink seeking on videos
Tested that already with both srt and sub files, not working.Quote:

This version of Mplayer doesn't support DVDs. It does have some wi-fi support.
There is a dvdlib version of Mplayer that can play DVDs
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/MPlayer
I don't think either can play xvid files that are stored on a DVD.
This app is just great. Finally able to watch my movies on my TV again. Then I don't have to buy Popcorn Hour just yet.
I don't really care that much for a GUI, but samba-browsing would be great. So hard to walk from my wii to my fileserver and back. :P
This app is great! I got carried away and started doodling an on screen display and made a kind of Wii stylised one as an idea...
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...erOSDmock1.png
I did a mockup too :o
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...OCKosdSCRN.png
Some issues:
1 Accessing file on a password-protected samba share does not work (followed instructions in configfile). Will try more to morrow, including connecting to a share that is not password protected
2 It has some color/pixel issues on one movie. Diagonal weirdness. Axxo dvdrip, so the file should be OK and correctly encoded.
3 Halfway trough a movie, it just stopped, and went back to the file menu. Same problem is reported previous in the thread, I noticed.
4 Searching does not work. It will be OK for some seconds, then the screen will become empty, and after some seconds annoying noise comes. Have to turn the Wii off manually. Neither is there a search bar or anything.
In my opinion, no3 is the worst bug. I can have some films ready to watch in case a couple does not work, so that is not a really major issue but having a film just stop halfway trough is annoying. Especially when searching does not work.
Keep up the good work, though. I like where this is going. :)
Well I've literaly just watched an avi movie and an episode of Heroes and it played spot on! :)
I've not had the bug of a movie quit out before while playing like Naguz posted but on the previous release if i paused for too long and restarted it would sometimes quit out? ..I've not replicated the bug again on this latest release yet though but will let you know if it happens again.
In a future release a GUI like nick666 knocked up would be great but I guess ironing out any bugs first is the priority.
So far so good though as this is shaping up to be a fantastic app. :)
Well, there doesn't seem to be many problem with avi files, it all works great. couple of files here and there I can understand, but this new update unfortunately makes some files unplayable, one way or another. I've managed to play some of them that play with weird [QUOTE]color/pixel issues...Diagonal weirdness...QUOTE] by resizing the video . Others however are left unplayable since they always result in a code dump immidiately after opening. for me, these problems mostly appeared with wmv files. Oh, and also, mp4's became out of sync, pretty badly actually. I rolled back to version .6 (and it fixed all problems, though some wmvs gradually get out of sync as it plays), though I didn't want to, since the On screen display was something I had been wishing or the very day i both found/instsalled, and un installed .7. I'm very grateful for the work that's been done towards this software, and will be patiently waiting for a newer version that better sees these problems. Good job otherwise though, amazing work.
I tested another avi movie last night and it didn't play so good. I had a light green bar on the bottom of the screen plus many purple colored pixel lines in the middle of the screen. I stopped the movie (the film 'Heat') as it wasn't worth watching in this state.
I tried the same movie on my modded xbox and also my pc and it plays fine on them?
Tried to watch another Axxo release tody (Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull[2008]DvDrip-aXXo), with the same result: strange colours diagonally on the screen, and a green field at the bottom. Even though I have only tested two axxo-releases yet, I would guess the result would be the same with them all - they are encoded oretty much the same way.
Anyone seen this progress bar?I haven't seen it.Quote:

It's mainly the same error repeating it self, some existing pps referenced error. They only happen on shoutcast streams, not the tv channel you supplied with the program.Quote:

Keep up the great work.
I made a gui for the menu. It's incomplete but you can try it out if you want from the svn branch gui. http://code.google.com/p/mplayerwii/source/checkout Here's a screen shot too.
SMB streaming was unplayable when I tried it. It would repeat a few frames (including audio) for 5-10 seconds, then do the next few frames, etc etc. Does this happen to anyone else?
Also, are you working on SMB Browsing? I saw the functions in smb.h. I tried messing with it, but your code is a bit messy (and I couldn't find any docs for the smb functions). I'll keep trying if you aren't going to, though.
looks great bufke - hopefully they will implement it into the next release.
Nice art :)
We were watching a HEFTY .avi last night and the playback just stopped about 25 mins in (it went back to the film list menu)
fcorbier or anyone with knowledge of wii graphics. I'm having an issue with the gui menu. I got it so one can view the menu and play a video fine. But when going back to the gui menu, then back to playing a video, the video in blank although sound works. Anyone know why this might be and how to fix it?
Yeah SMB streaming was broken for me, it wouldn't buffer properly and I got audio with a jerky video stream, then nothing at all, then that repeated.Quote:

It works great! Definitely a big step for MPlayerWii :) Soon it'll be at the same level as GeeXbox!Quote:

(bufke or fcorbier: If you want me to take it down, just ask.)
Will have a look squeakypants :)
Looks very promising - great work
add:
- subtitle support
- complete GUI
- bug fixes
and it's everything you could ask for.
very nice work guys. is it easy enough to make this into a channel?
Very disappointing!
Is yet implemented the sequencial play?
Can be implemented a random play?
I like the philosophy of DMP, but the sound quality of Mplayerwii is much better.
The problem is that using Mplayer only for mp3 listening is no way because of the return to main menu.
I like the idea of random/sequential play. Perhaps after i get the basic menu system done I could work on that. It doesn't sound like it would be hard to implement something like that.
Still haven't figured out why video won't play twice with the gui menu. Need to get that straighten out before putting the gui in a release.
It would be nice! Thanks in advance!Quote:

Especially if you are watching it with someone. "Ooops, shit happens. Want to watch another one?"
Tested with a H264-file the other day. As expected, it didn't really go smooth. Is the Wii hardware not good enough, or can it be done eventually?
Since the Homebrew Channel 9 supports SDHC, can you please add it (SDHC) to MplayerWii?
You only have to recompile using lastest libogc.
Use libogc from hackmii git, it has less bugs and you can use big mallocs :
git clone git://hackmii.com/home/ogcgit/libogc
