MPlayer CE is an unofficial port of the very popular multimedia player for
various platforms including Windows and Linux. This Nintendo Wii port
features the same compatibility that the other versions offer, but is limited
in some aspects as it can't playback some high resolution videos due to the
processing power of the Wii.
MPlayer CE will allow you to watch various movies in different formats on
your Nintendo Wii including AVI, DIVX, XVID, MPEG2 and DVD Videos. It
actually supports a huge range of formats and can playback media from DVDs,
SD Cards, USB drives and over your local area network using Samba (SMB)
shares. MPlayer CE also allows you to listen to radio streams over the
Internet.
This port is based on the original work of Team Twiizer's MPlayer Wii port
and uses code from [rOn]'s MPlayer Wii port along with code from GeeXbox. It
is currently maintained by Scip, tipolosko, rodries, AgentX & DJDynamite123.
While there are numerous ports and versions of MPlayer for the Nintendo Wii
its hard to tell which one to use, but this one is being heavily developed
and surpases the other versions due to its performance, optimizations and
features.

Configuring your Wii with USB 2.0 support. USB 2.0
You need to install the USB 2.0 cIOS from [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]
You must then then reinstall [Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register] using advanced mode and selecting IOS202. Even if you don't plan on playing DVDs this is necessary for MPlayer CE to detect if the cIOS is installed.
Plug in your USB device before loading MPlayer, and it should be mounted. Some devices do not support hotplugging.
Users with system menu 3.4 or higher will not be able to use USB2.0 with MPlayerCE because the DVDx installer for this system does not have an advanced mode. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it.
If you plan on updating make sure to install the cIOS and DVDx before updating.

hi, i also have the hard drive issue.
the drive light flickers when app is loading but after that nothing.
1 partition is in wii format and other is in nfs.
20gb wii
rest of a 1tb is in other.
why can i not access files?
is it cos its not in any of the fat formats?
if i create anothr partition on that drive, in fat format will it show up then? does it matter what order the partions are in for this too work?
any clues anybody?
Ive been using MPlayer CE for a couple of months now and i dont have any bad problems. I love not having to convert avi's etc, just watch straight from my HD.
Would be better if it looked nicer etc and also if someone could create something for DVD's like USB Loader GX that would be cool...
