MPlayerWii is an audio/video player. It is a native port of the MPlayer media player.

Release notes:

MPlayerWii r20 modified by AgentX (r3)

Changes:
– If your file has a 2.35:1 ratio and you want to make it fit the screen, press 1. If your file has a 4:3 ratio and you want to stretch it to fit the screen, press 2. To return to default press 1 and 2 together.
– Tries to distinguish between audio files, video files and other files. If you select an audio file it will play continuously through the folder. Press B to play next file. Selecting a video will just play the individual file. Any other file will not be recognized and not play (avoiding crashes).

A patch file is included. Source is very hacky. With thanks to DCelso & Qualith for code for continuous play.

Known bugs:
Using B to select next file is very touch and go. I think this is a problem with mplayer not freeing memory properly so I can’t fix it until I work out how to compile.

Thanks to rodries for constantly updating mplayerwii, samba improvements are much appreciated!

There is just about one month left for the current Drunken Coders coding competition. Enough time to get something started 😉

Read on:

Just a friendly reminder that one month remains until the 2008 compo deadline has expired.

Its looking like winner take all for the Wii compo as the prize pool has leveled out at about the $100 mark.

The DS/GBA side, however, have exceeded last years cash prize pool and hovers at nearly $850. $425 for a first place finish is a pretty good haul for our friendly little competition.

On the off chance people have a few dollars to spare around the holliday season let’s see if we can raise the last $60 and put the combined prize total to $1000.
