'''GeeXboX''' is a media center program built on [[Wii Linux]].  It uses MPlayer with a graphical front end. It can play videos and music (with visualization) and display photo slideshows.
GeeXboX is a free embedded Linux distribution which aims at turning your computer into a so called HTPC (Home Theater PC) or Media Center.  


Specially added features in the Wii port are: bluetooth (remote control, obex file push, networking and audio partially working), USB storage, USB Ethernet, http/telnet/ftp server, netstreaming, image viewer, goom visuals for audio playback, .... Most of added features are fully or partially tested, some are not, yet.  
GeeXboX for Wii is an unofficial port of GeeXboX, to run on Nintendo Wii game console. This has been made possible by the excellent work of Wii "hackers" and homebrewers, especially TeamTwiizers and the gc-linux team.


== Requirements ==
==Features==
*SD card (some SDHC also work, formatted in FAT/FAT32)
*Wii homebrew.
*Wii linux distro.
*Wii media player.
*Wii media center.


=== Optional ===
==Installation==
*USB keyboard
Starting with 0.1beta1, GeeXboX for Wii is released as two separate versions: GeeXboX for Wii (IOS) and GeeXboX for Wii (MINI). It is difficult to explain the differences between the two to someone without prior knowledge about Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii, etc.
*Bluetooth mobile phone (MIDP 2.0-compatible with AT+CMER implementation)
*USB ethernet adapter/PC-to-PC link cable (theoretically any model supported by linux 2.6.24.4 should work)
*USB storage (flash disks, card readers, external enclosures, etc. Supports reading of nearly all major *nix/Win/Mac partition types and writing the majority of them except NTFS/UFS)


== Installation ==
GeeXboX for Wii (IOS) is the continuation of previous 0.1alpha releases and has to be launched by, preferably, HBC or other similar homebrew loading methods. This version does not support native WiFi or DVD; does not support USB 2.0; does not support front SD slot hot-swapping; does support returning to HBC.
<youtube v="oFzZaC2D_yk" />


'''Note:''' The video is of an Old Demo, not the current build.
GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) is basically the IOS version modified to take advantage of MINI firmware and has to be launched through MINI, i.e. manually from Bootmii GUI or automatically by replacing ppcboot.elf in bootmii folder. This version does support native WiFi (currently at a rather low speed); does support USB 2.0; does support front SD slot hot-swapping; does support native DVD; does not support returning to HBC.
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />


[[Homebrew Channel]] users just need to copy everything into the root directory of your SD card and select GeeXboX in the channel.  
Except the differences listed above, the IOS and MINI versions are nearly identical as far as other features are concerned. Please note that the extra features in MINI version do put heavier burden on CPU and memory usage. Therefore, if the MINI version-specific features are of little or no use to you, you are advised to stick to the IOS version.


[[Twilight Hack|TP hack]] users have to copy or move apps/geexbox/boot.elf to the root directory of your SD card and start the hack.  
A homebrew-enabled Wii and SD card is required, you can find the setup guide on the [https://fartersoft.com/geexboxforwii/installation/ official website].


Other homebrew loaders that support front SD might also work. Consult their documentation for how.  
==User guide==
===Controls===
====Wiimote====
Setup:
*Wiimote is the default remote control device in GeeXboX for Wii. For unmodified versions, nothing needs to be changed to enable wiimote support.  
*If in doubt, check that in /GEEXBOX/settings file, the 'REMOTE=wiimote' and 'WIIMOTE=00:00:00:00:00:00' lines are not modified or commented out.


Regardless of the loader, the GEEXBOX file tree MUST reside in the root directory of SD card.
Connection/Disconnection:
*When GeeXboX for Wii has booted successfully, press ANY button, except the 'power' button, on wiimote and it will automatically tries to connect to GeeXboX for Wii.
*If connection is successful, LEDs on the wiimote will flash and wiimote will rumble for a short while.
*The connection is automatically terminated by the power-saving feature of the wiimote after long periods of inactivity and can also be manually terminated by pressing the 'power' button.
*Reconnection is done by pressing ANY button, except the 'power' button, again.


=== USB keyboard ===
Controls:
The default keyboard layout is qwerty. To change, edit GEEXBOX/settings and change the value of 'KEYMAP' accordingly. For more info on keyboard controls, view help in menu, consult GEEXBOX/etc/mplayer/input.conf or the GeeXboX site (http://www.geexbox.org/en/controls.html, some info is outdated though).
*Only single and combo button-pressings on the wiimote are received by GeeXboX for Wii to trigger specific events.
*Therefore, it is useless to point wiimote at the sensor bar, which is powered off by the way, or to wave the wiimote in any fashion.
*Holding down button(s) will send repeated commands at a rate of about 4 times per second.
*Detailed button commands can be viewed from the GUI 'help' menu. For customization of the commands, lircd_wiimote.conf and lircrc_wiimote files in /GEEXBOX/etc/lirc can be modified, which requires prior knowledge of lirc config file formats and is not advised for ordinary users.


<google uid="C06" position="left"></google>
====Keyboards====
Setup:
*GeeXboX for Wii supports keyboard control by default and such support does not conflict with other remote control devices.
*Therefore, it is not necessary to try to enable or disable such support.


=== Bluetooth mobile phone ===
Connection/Disconnection:
Not all bluetooth-enabled phones are usable. For an incomplete list of usable models, see http://anyremote.sourceforge.net/devices.html (GeeXboX for wii does not use anyremote though). Models listed as working in bluetooth AT mode should be usable. You have to specify the bluetooth MAC of your mobile in GEEXBOX/etc/bluez. When GeeXboX boots up and finds your mobile, you will be prompted for password. The default password is '0000'. Key definitions in this release are based on Benq-Siemens S68. To use other models or to customize key definitions, you many have to edit GEEXBOX/etc/lirc/lircd_bluemobile.conf and lircrc_bluemobile. Some (Sony)Ericsson models can also be used with the 'bte' driver (GEEXBOX/etc/lirc/lircd_bte.conf and lircrc_bte).
*USB devices are hot-pluggable in GeeXboX for Wii and USB keyboards are no exception.  
*This is probably also true for RF wireless keyboards with USB receivers.
*Bluetooth keyboards usually requires pairing before they can be used. To be able to use bluetooth keyboards in GeeXboX for Wii, the /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez file must be modified to set the correct paring key, specify the keyboard bluetooth MAC if targeted connection is desired, and uncomment proper HID-related options. Prior knowledge and experience of using bluetooth keyboards in linux is required.


=== Gamecube Controller ===
Controls:
GCN analog input is read, though NOT supported. For example, there is no way to get the menu back once it has been cleared from the screen and response to analog input is spotty and erratic.
*GeeXboX currently only supports single pressing of basic keys. Combo keys and multimedia keys are not yet supported.  
*Simplified information about keyboard control is available from GUI "help" menu and /GEEXBOX/etc/mplayer/input.conf.  


== Supported Formats ==
====Bluetooth Mobile Phones====
All audio/video formats supported by [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html MPlayer] (yes, rmvb included), with the exception of WMV9 audio.  
Supported devices:
*Not all bluetooth-enabled phones are usable as remote control for GeeXboX for Wii.  
*For an inexhaustive list of usable models, check out this anyremote page (GeeXboX for Wii does not use anyremote though).
*Models listed there as working in bluetooth AT mode should be usable.


== Supported Media Sources ==
Setup:
*Front SD (to swap, use the Wiimote/OSD menu and follow the messages)
*Please note that 1), wiimote support will be disabled when mobile phones are used as remote control; 2), prior knowledge and experience of using bluetooth devices in linux is required for setup.
*USB storage (hot swappable. Card readers must be disconnected before swapping cards)
To specify mobile phone as remote control device, the first step is to edit /GEEXBOX/settings file and change the value of 'REMOTE' to 'bluemobile'.
*Network shares (NFS/Plan 9 shares must be added manually before boot, uPnP shares are auto-discovered and mounted after boot, Samba/Windows shares can be used either way)
*For some (Sony)Ericsson models, it is also possible to set 'REMOTE' to 'bte'. Then /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez file should be modified to set the default pass key and specify the bluetooth MAC and serial service channel of the mobile phone by setting the respective options to correct values.
*HTTP/UDP/RTP/RSTP network streams (Shoutcast, Icecast, LAN unicast, Multicast and VOD) (addresses manually defined before boot)
*Finally, on the mobile phone, bluetooth should be enabled and the phone should be made discoverable and connectable. Consult the phone's user manual for detailed procedures.


== Customization ==
Connection/Disconnection:
Customization requires manual editing of files in the GEEXBOX folder. It is probably better to edit files on harddisk and then copy them to SD card, as opposed to editing files on SD card directly. Windows users are also advised to use *nix-compatible editors such as UltraEdit, rather than Notepad or Wordpad. Please remember that corrupt or incorrectly modified file may cause boot failure!
*If setup is successful, upon booting of GeeXboX for Wii, you will be prompted on the phone to enter pass key for incoming connection.
*Enter the pass key specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez and the phone will start to function as a remote control.


=== Language and font ===
Controls:
The default language is English. To change, edit GEEXBOX/settings and change the value of 'MENU_LANG' (for menu language) and 'SUB_CHARSET' (for subtitle language) accordingly. For some languages/charsets, for instance east Asian languages, you will have to provide necessary fonts for the settings to work. Consult GEEXBOX/etc/lang.conf for the correct font file name and make sure corresponding file is saved in GEEXBOX/usr/share/fonts. Alternatively, you can edit lang.conf to match the name of your font file. Please try not to use large size font files as they take up precious memory and affect playback quality.  
*Only single key-pressing-releasing events are supported. Key definitions in the released versions are based on Benq-Siemens S68 and specified in lircd_bluemobile.conf and lircrc_bluemobile files in /GEEXBOX/etc/lirc folder.  
*Edit these files to customize for other models. If the bte driver is used instead of bluemobile driver, edit lircd_bte.conf and lircrc_bte files in the same folder to customize.
*Prior knowledge of lirc config file formats is requried for such editing.


Boot into console mode: edit GEEXBOX/settings and change the value of 'RUNLEVEL' to 'debug'. Enter "exit" in console to start GUI.  
====Network====
GeeXboX for Wii comes with built-in http server, which provides web-based playback control and is accessible through USB ethernet, bluetooth or wifi (MINI version only). The interface is straightforward and requires no explanation.


=== Themeing ===
See the "Networking" section for more information about networking.
The boot splash is hard coded into boot.elf and therefore not easily customizable for most users. To change the default background image/video, replace GEEXBOX/usr/share/mplayer/background.avi. Again, avoid using large file for your own good.  


=== Other customizations ===
GeeXboX for Wii also supports, theoretically, remote control through lirc over udp. This is an untested feature and only advanced lirc users should attempt to make it work.
Bluetooth, obex, network, netstream, net shares and so on are customized by manually editing corresponding files in GEEXBOX/etc. Simple explanations are included for almost all the settings. You can also find more detailed help on some of these settings from http://www.geexbox.org/en/doc.html or by visiting the forum.


== Extra Information ==
===Media sources===
This is based on the GameCube Linux team's whiite-linux-0.1a and a recent devel version of GeeXboX. Whiite-linux-0.1a includes support for Wii USB host controller, however, support for native wifi and DVD is still missing, and USB host controller support is imperfect, making some USB-related functions unusable.
'''Front SD Slot:'''
*[IOS version] As of this writing, Wii's front SD card slot is the fastest storage media available for use in GeeXboX for Wii (IOS). Hot-plugging is not supported. To change the card, use either the GUI menu or wiimote button commands and follow the OSD messages.
*[MINI version] Hot-plugging is supported. At least some MMC cards are also supported.


In short, this is a full-featured GeeXboX port. Nearly all GeeXboX features available in current mainstream GeeXboX devel version and within current Wii linux capabilities are incorporated, with added bluetooth and obex support.
'''USB External Storage:'''
*GeeXboX for Wii supports external storage devices connected through Wii's backside USB interfaces, including flash disks, card readers, hard/optical drive enclosures etc.  
*Other devices such as mobile phones, MP3/MP4 players and handheld game consoles are also theoretically supported if they can function as USB storage devices.
*Hot-plugging is possible, except for cards on card readers, which have to be plugged or unplugged while the card reader is detached.


=== USB performance ===
'''Partition Type and File System Support:'''
The Wii USB interface is supposedly 1.1, meaning the max speed is 12Mbps, or slightly over 1MB/s. So as of this release, front SD is probably still faster than any other storage media usable, including network shares, although not by that much. In addition, USB is resource-costly and current implementation of USB in linux for Wii is buggy. So don't expect performance of USB devices on Wii to be comparable to what you get on your PC. Nevertheless, USB 2.0 devices are still preferable.  
*GeeXboX for Wii supports MS-DOS and Apple partition types, reads nearly all major *nix/Windows/Mac file systems and writes many of them, except exFAT, NTFS, UFS, etc.


=== Bluetooth ===
'''[MINI version] Wii Native DVD:'''
Bluetooth audio and networking only work partially in this release, most likely a result of imperfections in USB implementation. Bluetooth headphones can be connected but audio is broken. Telnet over bluetooth works, although some commands seem to hang the session. Http and ftp can't seem to get past the initial data transfer. Pushing files to Wii is working, although speed is slow. Pushing files from Wii to other devices is unstable. Sometimes small files get pushed successfully, sometimes transfer halts midway.  
*Native DVD support is currently incompatible with (at least some) modchips. The affected modchips have to be disabled for GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) to access DVD contents.
*It seems that only DVD-R and pressed Discs are readable. This may or may not change in the future.
*GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) only auto-mounts the disc (if present) during booting. To mount/unmount disc(s) after that, use the GUI menu options or wiimote commands.  
*This only concerns non-DVD-VIDEO discs. It is not necessary to mount DVD-VIDEO discs, which can be watched using the 'Play DVD' menu item without mounting.  
*GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) bypasses region protection and CSS encryption automatically.


=== Network sources ===
'''LAN Shares:'''
If you want to use shoutcast/icecast etc., remember to set long blacklist or short white list in GEEXBOX/etc/netstream. Better still, just define a few netstreams pointing to the broadcasts you desire and disable shoutcast/icecast scan. The reason for this is because every broadcast url obtained by GeeXboX from scanning the server is saved in Wii memory as a playlist file. Thousands of such small files soon eat up all available space. For uPnP shares over lan, avoid exporting huge and complex directories.  
*GeeXboX for Wii supports both *nix/Mac NFS and Windows (i.e. Samba) shares, as well as Plan 9 9p shares.
*NFS and 9p shares are mounted at boot time. Source paths and mount points are defined in 'nfs' and '9p' files in /GEEXBOX/etc folder, repectively. Examples are given in these files for you to follow when defining your own shares.
*Windows shares can be automatically found and mounted when GeeXboX for Wii is running. If username and/or password are set for these shares, they have to be specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.  
*It is also possible to specify static shares to be mounted at boot time by following examples given in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.  
*Please make sure that share priviledge and firewall rules are properly set up on the sharing host machine, otherwise the shares may fail to mount.


=== Aspect ratio ===
'''LAN UPnP Servers:'''
By default, all video will scale to 640 pixel width while keeping the original aspect ratio. If the scaled height exceeds the screen height (for instance 480 pixel for NTSC Wii), the video won't play. This means for NTSC Wii, all video must have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (640:480) or greater. If your video happens to have the 'wrong' aspect ratio, you may consider editing the 'xy=640' option in /GEEXBOX/etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf. For details, consult MPlayer's online documentation at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html.
*GeeXboX for Wii supports accessing UPnP servers on local network.
*These include dedicated LAN UPnP devices, game consoles serving content using UPnP protocol, or PCs running UPnP server software.
*UPnP servers are automatically connected or disconnected, depending on server status, while GeeXboX for Wii is running. UPnP support must be manually enabled by modifing /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
 
'''Network Streams:'''
*GeeXboX for Wii supports http/udp/rtp/rtsp protocol network streams, shoutcast/icecast network broadcasts, as well as extended .pls and .m3u playlists over http.
*These have to be manually defined in /GEEXBOX/etc/netstream by following the examples given therein.
 
===Supported Formats===
'''Supported audio/video formats and codecs:'''
*Media playback in GeeXboX for Wii is performed by mplayer, which in turn uses ffmpeg to provide audio and video decoding.
*All formats and codecs supported by ffmpeg are therefore supported by GeeXboX for Wii.
*This means that nearly all of the commonly used container formats and audio/video codecs, including WMA9 (starting with 0.1beta1) are supported by GeeXboX for Wii.
*In addition, MPlayer also offers the possibility of dynamically loading non-open-source binary libraries for decoding certain non-open codecs (see below).
*Due to hardware limitation and/or codec code complexity, certain codecs can not be decoded fast enough, especially at high resolutions/bitrates, and consequently, audio/video artifacts/stuttering/desyncing might occur.
 
'''Supported subtitle formats:'''
*Mplayer in GeeXboX for Wii supports both major text subtitle formats (.srt, etc.) and vobsub subtitle formats (.idx/.sub).
*Support for .ssa text subtitles is not yet fully implemented. For vobsub subtitles, archived .sub file in .rar format is also supported.
 
'''Using non-open-source binaries:'''
*Starting with version 0.1alpha5, GeeXboX for Wii no longer guarantees the usability of non-open-source codec binaries in /GEEXBOX/codecs folder.  
*The reasons are 1), the few available binaries may not actually work, as they were compiled against different glibc version using different gcc version; 2) ffmpeg already decodes these codecs natively and with little to no artifacts.
*In addition, unrar is now built-in with GeeXboX for Wii. Therefore, the following is only applicable for 0.1alpha4.
 
Due to licence restrictions, GeeXboX for Wii releases do not contain non-open-source binaries. If functions related to such binaries, as mentioned above, are desired, they can be downloaded from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-ppc-20071007.tar.bz2 and http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar_ppclinux_380b2.tar.bz2. The extracted files should be saved to /GEEXBOX/codecs folder.
 
===Networking===
====USB Ethernet====
Hardware:
*USB ethernet device support in GeeXboX for Wii is provided by linux kernel (2.6.31 as of this writing).
*Many adapters and PC-to-PC connectors are supported, including the adapter for Wii sold by Nintendo.
 
Setup:
*By default, GeeXboX for Wii will attempt to use DHCP to obtain IP address and gateway information, if USB ethernet device is detected and powered up.
*To use static IP address, /GEEXBOX/etc/network must be modified to provide the necessary information.
*Values for options HOST, SUBNET, GATEWAY, DNS_SERVER and possibly DHCP_TIMEOUT must be correctly specified.
 
[MINI version] If you wish to use USB ethernet rather than native wifi, you must set PHY_TYPE to "ethernet" in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
 
====Bluetooth====
Hardware:
*Wii's built-in bluetooth adapter is used for bluetooth networking in GeeXboX for Wii.
*For ethernet over bluetooth, remote PC or handheld devices should support bluetooth PAN.
*For obex over bluetooth, remote devices should support OBEXPUSH and/or OBEXFTP.  
*Due to imperfections in current Wii USB host contrller driver, many bluetooth functions in GeeXboX for Wii are still buggy. The following services are disabled by default.
 
Ethernet over bluetooth:
*To enable bluetooth PAN, you have to modify /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez and specify correct values for PAN-related options.
*Prior experience with using bluetooth PAN, especially in linux, is recommended.
 
Obex over bluetooth:
*GeeXboX for Wii supports OBEXPUSH between Wii and remote devices. Pushed files received by Wii are stored in the folder specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/obex.
*Pushing files from Wii is currently only implemented for USB keyboard operation (pressing 'B' when file is highlighted), but adding it to wiimote operation is possbile and easy.
*Obex related configurations are stored in /GEEXBOX/etc/obex and some functions are configurable though GUI options menu.
 
Audio over bluetooth:
*GeeXboX for Wii supports streaming mono or stereo (A2DP) audio to bluetooth headsets.
*Bluetooth MAC address of remote device must be specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez.
*Switching between normal audio and bluetooth audio is done through GUI options menu.
 
====[MINI version] Wifi====
Setup:
*Wifi setup is done through specifying related options in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
*If problems are encountered while connecting to AP/router using WPA encryption, different WPA_SCAN_SSID and/or WPA_AP_SCAN values can be tried.
*Note that wifi support is not yet perfect speed-wise (see this link).
 
Network Services:
*GeeXboX for Wii features built-in TELNET, FTP and HTTP server services, which run over any available USB ethernet, bluetooth PAN, or Wifi (MINI version only).
*They are disabled by default and can be enabled by modifying /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
 
TELNET:
*There is no username/password set for TELNET service and clients will be logging in as root.
 
FTP:
*User name and password for FTP service are defined in /GEEXBOX/etc/ftp.
 
HTTP:
*The built-in HTTP server in GeeXboX for Wii serves only as remote control GUI interface. To modify or add content, files in /GEEXBOX/var/www can be edited.
 
===Customization===
GeeXboX for Wii allows for customization of many of its built-in features, most of them are detailed in the [https://fartersoft.com/geexboxforwii/usage/customization/ official site].  
 
Customization generally requires editing of /GEEXBOX/settings and files in /GEEXBOX/etc folder.  
 
These files should be edited in *nix or, if Windows is used, in *nix-compatible text editors, otherwise desired effects may not be achieved and boot failure may occur.

<youtube>oFzZaC2D_yk</youtube>
 
==Known issues==
Most functions of Wii, including bluetooth/wiimote, DVD, wireless, LAN etc., are not supported by this version, due to limitations of the Linux kernel. There are terrible bugs too, so please regard this rather as a demo.

GeeXboX is a free embedded Linux distribution which aims at turning your computer into a so called HTPC (Home Theater PC) or Media Center.

GeeXboX for Wii is an unofficial port of GeeXboX, to run on Nintendo Wii game console. This has been made possible by the excellent work of Wii "hackers" and homebrewers, especially TeamTwiizers and the gc-linux team.

Features

  • Wii homebrew.
  • Wii linux distro.
  • Wii media player.
  • Wii media center.

Installation

Starting with 0.1beta1, GeeXboX for Wii is released as two separate versions: GeeXboX for Wii (IOS) and GeeXboX for Wii (MINI). It is difficult to explain the differences between the two to someone without prior knowledge about Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii, etc.

GeeXboX for Wii (IOS) is the continuation of previous 0.1alpha releases and has to be launched by, preferably, HBC or other similar homebrew loading methods. This version does not support native WiFi or DVD; does not support USB 2.0; does not support front SD slot hot-swapping; does support returning to HBC.

GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) is basically the IOS version modified to take advantage of MINI firmware and has to be launched through MINI, i.e. manually from Bootmii GUI or automatically by replacing ppcboot.elf in bootmii folder. This version does support native WiFi (currently at a rather low speed); does support USB 2.0; does support front SD slot hot-swapping; does support native DVD; does not support returning to HBC.

Except the differences listed above, the IOS and MINI versions are nearly identical as far as other features are concerned. Please note that the extra features in MINI version do put heavier burden on CPU and memory usage. Therefore, if the MINI version-specific features are of little or no use to you, you are advised to stick to the IOS version.

A homebrew-enabled Wii and SD card is required, you can find the setup guide on the official website.

User guide

Controls

Wiimote

Setup:

  • Wiimote is the default remote control device in GeeXboX for Wii. For unmodified versions, nothing needs to be changed to enable wiimote support.
  • If in doubt, check that in /GEEXBOX/settings file, the 'REMOTE=wiimote' and 'WIIMOTE=00:00:00:00:00:00' lines are not modified or commented out.

Connection/Disconnection:

  • When GeeXboX for Wii has booted successfully, press ANY button, except the 'power' button, on wiimote and it will automatically tries to connect to GeeXboX for Wii.
  • If connection is successful, LEDs on the wiimote will flash and wiimote will rumble for a short while.
  • The connection is automatically terminated by the power-saving feature of the wiimote after long periods of inactivity and can also be manually terminated by pressing the 'power' button.
  • Reconnection is done by pressing ANY button, except the 'power' button, again.

Controls:

  • Only single and combo button-pressings on the wiimote are received by GeeXboX for Wii to trigger specific events.
  • Therefore, it is useless to point wiimote at the sensor bar, which is powered off by the way, or to wave the wiimote in any fashion.
  • Holding down button(s) will send repeated commands at a rate of about 4 times per second.
  • Detailed button commands can be viewed from the GUI 'help' menu. For customization of the commands, lircd_wiimote.conf and lircrc_wiimote files in /GEEXBOX/etc/lirc can be modified, which requires prior knowledge of lirc config file formats and is not advised for ordinary users.

Keyboards

Setup:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports keyboard control by default and such support does not conflict with other remote control devices.
  • Therefore, it is not necessary to try to enable or disable such support.

Connection/Disconnection:

  • USB devices are hot-pluggable in GeeXboX for Wii and USB keyboards are no exception.
  • This is probably also true for RF wireless keyboards with USB receivers.
  • Bluetooth keyboards usually requires pairing before they can be used. To be able to use bluetooth keyboards in GeeXboX for Wii, the /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez file must be modified to set the correct paring key, specify the keyboard bluetooth MAC if targeted connection is desired, and uncomment proper HID-related options. Prior knowledge and experience of using bluetooth keyboards in linux is required.

Controls:

  • GeeXboX currently only supports single pressing of basic keys. Combo keys and multimedia keys are not yet supported.
  • Simplified information about keyboard control is available from GUI "help" menu and /GEEXBOX/etc/mplayer/input.conf.

Bluetooth Mobile Phones

Supported devices:

  • Not all bluetooth-enabled phones are usable as remote control for GeeXboX for Wii.
  • For an inexhaustive list of usable models, check out this anyremote page (GeeXboX for Wii does not use anyremote though).
  • Models listed there as working in bluetooth AT mode should be usable.

Setup:

  • Please note that 1), wiimote support will be disabled when mobile phones are used as remote control; 2), prior knowledge and experience of using bluetooth devices in linux is required for setup.

To specify mobile phone as remote control device, the first step is to edit /GEEXBOX/settings file and change the value of 'REMOTE' to 'bluemobile'.

  • For some (Sony)Ericsson models, it is also possible to set 'REMOTE' to 'bte'. Then /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez file should be modified to set the default pass key and specify the bluetooth MAC and serial service channel of the mobile phone by setting the respective options to correct values.
  • Finally, on the mobile phone, bluetooth should be enabled and the phone should be made discoverable and connectable. Consult the phone's user manual for detailed procedures.

Connection/Disconnection:

  • If setup is successful, upon booting of GeeXboX for Wii, you will be prompted on the phone to enter pass key for incoming connection.
  • Enter the pass key specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez and the phone will start to function as a remote control.

Controls:

  • Only single key-pressing-releasing events are supported. Key definitions in the released versions are based on Benq-Siemens S68 and specified in lircd_bluemobile.conf and lircrc_bluemobile files in /GEEXBOX/etc/lirc folder.
  • Edit these files to customize for other models. If the bte driver is used instead of bluemobile driver, edit lircd_bte.conf and lircrc_bte files in the same folder to customize.
  • Prior knowledge of lirc config file formats is requried for such editing.

Network

GeeXboX for Wii comes with built-in http server, which provides web-based playback control and is accessible through USB ethernet, bluetooth or wifi (MINI version only). The interface is straightforward and requires no explanation.

See the "Networking" section for more information about networking.

GeeXboX for Wii also supports, theoretically, remote control through lirc over udp. This is an untested feature and only advanced lirc users should attempt to make it work.

Media sources

Front SD Slot:

  • [IOS version] As of this writing, Wii's front SD card slot is the fastest storage media available for use in GeeXboX for Wii (IOS). Hot-plugging is not supported. To change the card, use either the GUI menu or wiimote button commands and follow the OSD messages.
  • [MINI version] Hot-plugging is supported. At least some MMC cards are also supported.

USB External Storage:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports external storage devices connected through Wii's backside USB interfaces, including flash disks, card readers, hard/optical drive enclosures etc.
  • Other devices such as mobile phones, MP3/MP4 players and handheld game consoles are also theoretically supported if they can function as USB storage devices.
  • Hot-plugging is possible, except for cards on card readers, which have to be plugged or unplugged while the card reader is detached.

Partition Type and File System Support:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports MS-DOS and Apple partition types, reads nearly all major *nix/Windows/Mac file systems and writes many of them, except exFAT, NTFS, UFS, etc.

[MINI version] Wii Native DVD:

  • Native DVD support is currently incompatible with (at least some) modchips. The affected modchips have to be disabled for GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) to access DVD contents.
  • It seems that only DVD-R and pressed Discs are readable. This may or may not change in the future.
  • GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) only auto-mounts the disc (if present) during booting. To mount/unmount disc(s) after that, use the GUI menu options or wiimote commands.
  • This only concerns non-DVD-VIDEO discs. It is not necessary to mount DVD-VIDEO discs, which can be watched using the 'Play DVD' menu item without mounting.
  • GeeXboX for Wii (MINI) bypasses region protection and CSS encryption automatically.

LAN Shares:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports both *nix/Mac NFS and Windows (i.e. Samba) shares, as well as Plan 9 9p shares.
  • NFS and 9p shares are mounted at boot time. Source paths and mount points are defined in 'nfs' and '9p' files in /GEEXBOX/etc folder, repectively. Examples are given in these files for you to follow when defining your own shares.
  • Windows shares can be automatically found and mounted when GeeXboX for Wii is running. If username and/or password are set for these shares, they have to be specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
  • It is also possible to specify static shares to be mounted at boot time by following examples given in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
  • Please make sure that share priviledge and firewall rules are properly set up on the sharing host machine, otherwise the shares may fail to mount.

LAN UPnP Servers:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports accessing UPnP servers on local network.
  • These include dedicated LAN UPnP devices, game consoles serving content using UPnP protocol, or PCs running UPnP server software.
  • UPnP servers are automatically connected or disconnected, depending on server status, while GeeXboX for Wii is running. UPnP support must be manually enabled by modifing /GEEXBOX/etc/network.

Network Streams:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports http/udp/rtp/rtsp protocol network streams, shoutcast/icecast network broadcasts, as well as extended .pls and .m3u playlists over http.
  • These have to be manually defined in /GEEXBOX/etc/netstream by following the examples given therein.

Supported Formats

Supported audio/video formats and codecs:

  • Media playback in GeeXboX for Wii is performed by mplayer, which in turn uses ffmpeg to provide audio and video decoding.
  • All formats and codecs supported by ffmpeg are therefore supported by GeeXboX for Wii.
  • This means that nearly all of the commonly used container formats and audio/video codecs, including WMA9 (starting with 0.1beta1) are supported by GeeXboX for Wii.
  • In addition, MPlayer also offers the possibility of dynamically loading non-open-source binary libraries for decoding certain non-open codecs (see below).
  • Due to hardware limitation and/or codec code complexity, certain codecs can not be decoded fast enough, especially at high resolutions/bitrates, and consequently, audio/video artifacts/stuttering/desyncing might occur.

Supported subtitle formats:

  • Mplayer in GeeXboX for Wii supports both major text subtitle formats (.srt, etc.) and vobsub subtitle formats (.idx/.sub).
  • Support for .ssa text subtitles is not yet fully implemented. For vobsub subtitles, archived .sub file in .rar format is also supported.

Using non-open-source binaries:

  • Starting with version 0.1alpha5, GeeXboX for Wii no longer guarantees the usability of non-open-source codec binaries in /GEEXBOX/codecs folder.
  • The reasons are 1), the few available binaries may not actually work, as they were compiled against different glibc version using different gcc version; 2) ffmpeg already decodes these codecs natively and with little to no artifacts.
  • In addition, unrar is now built-in with GeeXboX for Wii. Therefore, the following is only applicable for 0.1alpha4.

Due to licence restrictions, GeeXboX for Wii releases do not contain non-open-source binaries. If functions related to such binaries, as mentioned above, are desired, they can be downloaded from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-ppc-20071007.tar.bz2 and http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar_ppclinux_380b2.tar.bz2. The extracted files should be saved to /GEEXBOX/codecs folder.

Networking

USB Ethernet

Hardware:

  • USB ethernet device support in GeeXboX for Wii is provided by linux kernel (2.6.31 as of this writing).
  • Many adapters and PC-to-PC connectors are supported, including the adapter for Wii sold by Nintendo.

Setup:

  • By default, GeeXboX for Wii will attempt to use DHCP to obtain IP address and gateway information, if USB ethernet device is detected and powered up.
  • To use static IP address, /GEEXBOX/etc/network must be modified to provide the necessary information.
  • Values for options HOST, SUBNET, GATEWAY, DNS_SERVER and possibly DHCP_TIMEOUT must be correctly specified.

[MINI version] If you wish to use USB ethernet rather than native wifi, you must set PHY_TYPE to "ethernet" in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.

Bluetooth

Hardware:

  • Wii's built-in bluetooth adapter is used for bluetooth networking in GeeXboX for Wii.
  • For ethernet over bluetooth, remote PC or handheld devices should support bluetooth PAN.
  • For obex over bluetooth, remote devices should support OBEXPUSH and/or OBEXFTP.
  • Due to imperfections in current Wii USB host contrller driver, many bluetooth functions in GeeXboX for Wii are still buggy. The following services are disabled by default.

Ethernet over bluetooth:

  • To enable bluetooth PAN, you have to modify /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez and specify correct values for PAN-related options.
  • Prior experience with using bluetooth PAN, especially in linux, is recommended.

Obex over bluetooth:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports OBEXPUSH between Wii and remote devices. Pushed files received by Wii are stored in the folder specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/obex.
  • Pushing files from Wii is currently only implemented for USB keyboard operation (pressing 'B' when file is highlighted), but adding it to wiimote operation is possbile and easy.
  • Obex related configurations are stored in /GEEXBOX/etc/obex and some functions are configurable though GUI options menu.

Audio over bluetooth:

  • GeeXboX for Wii supports streaming mono or stereo (A2DP) audio to bluetooth headsets.
  • Bluetooth MAC address of remote device must be specified in /GEEXBOX/etc/bluez.
  • Switching between normal audio and bluetooth audio is done through GUI options menu.

[MINI version] Wifi

Setup:

  • Wifi setup is done through specifying related options in /GEEXBOX/etc/network.
  • If problems are encountered while connecting to AP/router using WPA encryption, different WPA_SCAN_SSID and/or WPA_AP_SCAN values can be tried.
  • Note that wifi support is not yet perfect speed-wise (see this link).

Network Services:

  • GeeXboX for Wii features built-in TELNET, FTP and HTTP server services, which run over any available USB ethernet, bluetooth PAN, or Wifi (MINI version only).
  • They are disabled by default and can be enabled by modifying /GEEXBOX/etc/network.

TELNET:

  • There is no username/password set for TELNET service and clients will be logging in as root.

FTP:

  • User name and password for FTP service are defined in /GEEXBOX/etc/ftp.

HTTP:

  • The built-in HTTP server in GeeXboX for Wii serves only as remote control GUI interface. To modify or add content, files in /GEEXBOX/var/www can be edited.

Customization

GeeXboX for Wii allows for customization of many of its built-in features, most of them are detailed in the official site.

Customization generally requires editing of /GEEXBOX/settings and files in /GEEXBOX/etc folder.

These files should be edited in *nix or, if Windows is used, in *nix-compatible text editors, otherwise desired effects may not be achieved and boot failure may occur.

Known issues

Most functions of Wii, including bluetooth/wiimote, DVD, wireless, LAN etc., are not supported by this version, due to limitations of the Linux kernel. There are terrible bugs too, so please regard this rather as a demo.
