MPlayerWii - Native MPlayer port for the Wii

Hello!

i'm using mplayer since version 001, thank you for this great port!

for me (pal wii, pal tv), aspect ratio in 50hz mode is correct now :-) (coneheads in 002)

my bugreport for version 003 (wad):

- i can't play any videofiles bigger than 600 or 700mb (crashes before playing anything), doesn't matter if avi mp4 mkv or xvid h64 mpg. tried fat 16 and fat32 on sd card. (was the same in 002 for me)
now i use easy video splitter :-D

- i can't quit to system menu (crashes)

Please keep up your great work! can't wait for 004 ;-)

another bug report from me a little one
If you load a movie plays a little push home button and load again the same movie then crush.

Add Subtitles

Thank you very much for such an amazing piece of code.

My Wii is set to 60Hz (PAL CRT TV), so games run smooth and clear, but I get screen tearing while watching videos. Switching to 50Hz does the trick, but it's kinda tedious to change Wii's config everytime I want to use MplayerWii

Is there any chance to switch to 50Hz when a PAL file is detected? Or make a config file where we could force it to 50-60Hz as needed... (thinking of the same INI file we could use for HTTP settings, hehe)

Thank you, and keep the good work :)

Did the libfat patch yet failed with the usbstorage patch. I couldn't find the one that patches against the HEAD branch. Anyway, I'll give it another go tonight. On failure I'll be begging for the header files and binaries of patched libogc here :)

How about to make an option for switch between the old display settings (v0.02 and v0.01) and the new video settings (v0.03) ?... that would be a solution for stretch the 4:3 videos on a widescreen :cool: !

wiicrazy,
you can find here http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?grou...05&atid=668553 the patches from sven

mplayer is using this patches
Using libfat from cvs
in libfat root (where Makefile is) this is the rigth order to apply the patches
patch -p1 < 0001-added-the-possibility-to-use-a-readahead-cache-that.patch
patch -p1 < libfat-corruption-fix.patch
patch -p1 < libfat-usbstorage.patch

to install:
make wii-release
make ogc-install

works fine to me

Salut fCorbier :)

Thanks for the release of the 14 july ! It's really cool to see a USB support. But i have a question, do you use the code of svpe for USB or is your own ? Cause i am scary to use a ntfs hard drive with mplayer...

And, another question (the last): does USB support will become useable with video in the future or does it stay too slow ?

Anyway, thanks and re-thanks for your great homebrew !! :thumbup:

romano,
the libfat-corruption-fix.patch blocks all drives that doesn't use fat16 o fat32.
If you try to use a ntfs drive it's not going to work, but it's safe.

sven has published a patch to fix the coredump problems when you run mplayer with an usb keyboard or usblan connected.

http://svpe.doesntexist.com/~svpe/pu...bstorage.patch


have you meassured the speed of libfat?

when you execute mplayer on console from wii linux on a usb drive the film play fine
The usb speed problem may be on libfat or in your port of mplayer.
The actual speed of usb-wii is about 2Mb/s that is enough to play avi files.
I'll try to test the libfat speed, but I don't have my wii now. I'll do the test the next week.

Thanks a lot, it worked flawlessly :)
I was completely in a wrong route, I was trying to patch the libogc module not the libfat. I was mistaken since there is no libfat folder in libogc\include folder :)

Thanks again!
