Mplayer-CE is a homebrew media player for the Nintendo Wii. It was initially created as a fork of the Team Twiizers MPlayer port, combining elements of MPlayerWii, GeeXboX and other great homebrew contributions. It is built with devkitPro development tools, fully homebrew driven and not associated with Nintendo in any way.

==Required==
'''Note:''' It is recommended you use [[WiiMC]] instead.


* An SD card (Best results are with non-SDHC cards, SDHC will only work on 4.0 or above) or USB device formatted to FAT(32).
==Installation==
* [For playing Discs] DVDx installed
Requirements:
* [Optional, for playing data from USB] cIOS202 - either the version provided by the MPlayer_CE team on their google code page or the version included in hermes cIOS installer (installed as 60 merged 38)
*An SD card (best results are with non-SDHC cards, SDHC will only work on 4.0 or above) or USB device formatted to FAT(32).
*(For playing Discs) DVDx installed.
*(For playing data from USB, optional) cIOS202, either the version provided on the [https://code.google.com/archive/p/mplayer-ce/wikis/USB20.wiki Google Code page] or the version included in hermes cIOS installer (installed as 60 merged 38).


==Configs==
Extract the mplayer_ce folder to the apps folder on the SD card. Then run Mplayer_CE with the homebrew channel.
===Setup and Edit your Configs===
====smb.conf====


First of all if you are planning on using SMB, be sure to follow the USB2.0 installation as the IOS60 as a base to install as IOS202 gives much better wifi stability. The Instalation can be found: Here.
See [https://code.google.com/archive/p/mplayer-ce/wikis/Configs.wiki here] for how to set up your config files for SMB shares, customising the menu layout in menu.conf, adding input with input.conf and changing default behaviour with mplayer.conf.


Your smb.conf has 5 shares. Determine how many shares you want to use and fill in the fields. For example, I have a folder shared on C:\ called Movies. I don't have a password on my user account, and my folder isn't protected. Therefore I don't need to add my user in the field in the example below. Typically shares made with Windows XP won't need the username or password fields filled in.
==Controls==
'''Menu (Wiimote, GameCube):'''


=====Samba share1 (smb1:/)=====
A/Right (A/Right) - Select


'''ip1=192.168.0.2 share1=Movies user1= pass1= '''
B/Left (B/Left) - Back


I also have a folder on D:\ but my shared folder has a space: My Music. Therefore, quotation marks are needed:
Up/Down (Up/Down) - Scroll up/down


=====Samba share2 (smb2:/)=====
Minus/Plus (L/R) - Page up/down
'''ip2=192.168.0.2 share2="My Music" user2= pass2= ''''


If you need a username and password to access shared folders, simply fill all fields in.
1 (X) - Hide menu


Windows 7 & Vista advanced settings: Setting the NT Access rights on the shared folder to allow "Everyone" read and execute access.
Home (Start) - Quit


Right-click folder, then pick "Security", "Advanced", "Change Permissions", "Add", "Advanced", "Find now", then pick "Everyone", then give read permissions.
'''In Video (Wiimote, GameCube):'''


Tutorials for setting up a file share in Windows XP and Windows Vista are available.
A (A) - Pause


http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm
B (B) - Toggle menu


http://cws.internet.com/article/3592-.htm
Right/Left (Right/Left) - Seek 30 seconds forward/backward


====menu.conf====
Up/Down (Up/Down) - Seek 5 minutes forward/backward


You can change the layout of your menu.conf. Doing so will change the main menu layout in MPlayerCE.
Minus/Plus (L/R) - Decrease/Increase volume


There is little existing documentation on editing menu.conf, but it is that not difficult to figure out by looking at an example. It is an xml-like file and it takes the normal MPlayer commands. To use it to load a specific file or stream use loadfile, e.g. to load a SopCast stream from my own network:
1 (X) - Toggle on-screen display


‎'''<cmdlist name="browse" title="Browse" ptr="<>" > ... <e name="SopCast ..." ok="loadfile http://192.168.1.65:8902/"/> </cmdlist>'''
Home (Start) - Quit


Remember you can add Radio streams, look under Radio in menu.conf and use the same technique as the others.
'''DVD Navigation (Wiimote, GameCube):'''


====input.conf====
2+A (Y+A) - Select


The Wii Remote and Gamecube controller controls are mapped as:
2+B (Y+B) - Back


'''GAMECUBE CONTROLLER WII REMOTE KEY A A a B B b X 1 x Z HOME z L MINUS l R PLUS r LEFT LEFT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT UP UP UP DOWN DOWN DOWN'''
2+D-Pad (Y+D-Pad) - Selection


The Y button on the Gamecube Controller and the 2 button on the Wii Remote acts as a modifier key (like shift) to add further control options:
2+1 (Y+X) - Return


'''GAMECUBE CONTROLLER WII REMOTE KEY Y + A 2 + A A Y + B 2 + B B Y + X 2 + 1 X Y + Z 2 + HOME Z Y + L 2 + MINUS L Y + R 2 + PLUS R Y + LEFT 2 + LEFT KP4 Y + RIGHT 2 + RIGHT KP6 Y + UP 2 + UP KP8 Y + DOWN 2 + DOWN KP2'''
'''Video Manipulation (Wiimote, GameCube):'''


To map a control in input.conf should be fairly self-explanatory. First write the key you wish to map and then the mplayer option you want, listed here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt So for example, to make the OSD come up when you press 1 you would add x osd or to make 2+1 switch the ratio to 16:9 you would add X switch_ratio 1.7778
Nunchuck Control Stick (Control Stick) - Move


====mplayer.conf====
Nunchuck Z+Control Stick or Classic controller Left/Right Control Stick (C Control Stick) - Stretch


This is where you can add a line so MPlayerCE loads with a specific setting, for example forcing your aspect ratio always to 16:9.
Nunchuck C or Classic controller b (Z) - Reset
 
You can add the line aspect=1.7778 and MPlayerCE will default to 16/9. The options are the standard MPlayer options. Change to suit you.
 
You can use the gxzoom, hor_pos and vert_pos parameters to adjust the screen size and position. hor_pos and vert_pos offset the centre of the display and gxzoom adjusts the picture zoom. The lower the zoom value, the more the picture zooms. If you are experiencing black bars on the left and the right of your picture, try gxzoom=340.
 
===Customising===
====loop.avi====
 
You can use your own loop.avi, just replace the current one with your own. You can also have music in the loop.avi. My loop.avi is 1 minute long and is 3.5mb in size with no issues.
 
If you are familiar with Virtualdub, you can use that to create your loop.avi. Simply editing the previous loop.avi by adding a new image or adding audio to it, etc. You can use anything as your loop.avi aslong as it's xvid compression.
 
How to make static background loops for mplayer ce
 
'''Software used: **Gimp**AVIDemux'''
 
# Open Gimp and create a new image (640x456 for standard defenition, 624x352 for widescreen). You can use whatever image program you want, but Gimp is free, cross-platform, and powerful. So is avidemux, btw.
# Edit the new image for your background so it looks how you want it. Save it as a jpg or png.
# Open Avidemux. Set the video codec to xvid. Open the image you created. Copy the image and paste it several times so that you have a good number of frames. I'd say 60 frames is more than enough. Save the video as "loop.avi".
 
You're done. Also, please submit your themes to http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/wiki/UserSubmittedCustomizations
 
====Fonts====
 
MPlayer supports freetype fonts. Just place a ttf font in the mplayer_ce directory named subfont.ttf. You can use various arguments in mplayer.conf to adjust them:
 
‎<syntaxhighlight>
subfont−autoscale <0−3> Sets the autoscale mode. NOTE: 0 means that text scale and OSD scale are font heights in points. The mode can be: 0 no autoscale 1 proportional to movie height 2 proportional to movie width 3 proportional to movie diagonal (default)
 
subfont−blur <0−8> Sets the font blur radius (default: 2).
 
subfont−encoding Sets the font encoding. When set to ’unicode’, all the glyphs from the font file will be rendered and unicode will be used (default: unicode).
 
subfont−osd−scale <0−100> Sets the autoscale coefficient of the OSD elements (default: 6).
 
subfont−outline <0−8> Sets the font outline thickness (default: 2).
 
subfont−text−scale <0−100> Sets the subtitle text autoscale coefficient as percentage of the screen size (default: 5).
‎</syntaxhighlight>
 
To enable fonts for your language there are some settings you can configure, thanks to mika7k7 for the guide.
 
1.Copy the Arial font from your Windows font folder (drag & drop) to mplayer_ce directory on your SD, or acquire from somewhere else, taking copyright into consideration.
 
2.Rename subfont.ttf to subfont.ttf.dist (as a backup)
 
3.Rename arial.ttf to subfont.ttf
 
4.Edit your mplayer.conf (w/ notepad) by adding to the end of the file:
 
===Subtitles Setting===
'''slang=ar subcp=windows-1256'''
 
5.That should do it.
 
Notes: The font wii be tiny, edit
 
'''subfont-text-scale='''
 
in mplayer.conf to your liking.
 
You will need to change the slang and subcp parameters to fit your locale.

Mplayer-CE is a homebrew media player for the Nintendo Wii. It was initially created as a fork of the Team Twiizers MPlayer port, combining elements of MPlayerWii, GeeXboX and other great homebrew contributions. It is built with devkitPro development tools, fully homebrew driven and not associated with Nintendo in any way.

Some of the current features includes DVD, SDHC, USB 2.0 storage device support, multiple media, subtitle, playlist and streaming formats, customization possibilities, etc.

Note: It is recommended you use WiiMC instead.

Installation

Requirements:

  • An SD card (best results are with non-SDHC cards, SDHC will only work on 4.0 or above) or USB device formatted to FAT(32).
  • (For playing Discs) DVDx installed.
  • (For playing data from USB, optional) cIOS202, either the version provided on the Google Code page or the version included in hermes cIOS installer (installed as 60 merged 38).

Extract the mplayer_ce folder to the apps folder on the SD card. Then run Mplayer_CE with the homebrew channel.

See here for how to set up your config files for SMB shares, customising the menu layout in menu.conf, adding input with input.conf and changing default behaviour with mplayer.conf.
