how does it handle HD video?

lets say it is 1080 or 720, then what happens, does it downscale?

Cool!

Does anyone know of a homebrew app which will allow me to stream media (mainly video) from my PC to my Wii, similar to how I can on my 360 over my wireless network?

Thanks!

This is great! Add wifi support and I will love you forever.

Also are you considering to include the realmedia support?

This is very doubtful it'll ever happen. Real media support is done in Mplayer (and XBMC) by directly calling the Real video DLLs. And since the Wii is PowerPC based, this is not going to happen for a very long time.

I haven't tried HD video yet. The video should be downscaled but I don't think the current version will be optimized enough to smoothly play 720p or 1080p.
