After months of coding and porting and ripping and rewriting Wii Miidia as I like to call it is about to be released into the wild. I have a few people beta testing it now and helping me work out some bugs. Wii Miidia is something that many people I hope will enjoy as I put alot of time and effort into this project.

Wii Miidia as you can guess is a Media Center for the Nintendo Wii based off of XBMC. Since the Wii comes with it's own Weather Channel I had decided to strip the weather functions from Wii Miidia. There are still a few bugs that I am trying to work out but one of the best features this offers in my opinion is the ability to listen to Shoutcast Radio on the Wii. Right now this only supports streaming files and files stored on the SD Card, however since there is recent developments by SVPE I hope to be able to include USB Storage devices as well in the future.

Video Support:
MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, DIVX, XVID, MOV, WMV, VOB and more.

Audio Support:
AAC, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, MID and more.

Controls Are:

A = Play
B = Pause/Resume
- = Previous Song/Chapter
+ = Next Song/Chapter
Dpad Left = Rewind
Dpad Right = Fast Forward
Dpad Up = Change Aspect Ratio (NTSC/PAL/Wide/Standard)
Dpad Up + B = Zoom In
Dpad Down = Change Visual in Audio mode / Change Subtitle in DVD Mode
Dpad Down + B = Zoom Out
Home = Settings Menu
1 = Return to Main Menu
2 = Return Previous Menu
Power = Shutdown Wii

Wii Miidia will at first be released as .elf and will need to be ran via TP Hack, Homebrew Channel or any other way you like to load your ELF files, However the final version will come in .elf and as a channel for those who would like easy access to the application. Well that is all for right now I hope to have this cleaned up and released for everyone in the next few days. I would like to also thank bushing for all of his hard work as well as the rest of the guys from #wiidev and Wiibrew.org without them I never would have been able to get this done.

I was not sure if you wanted to report bugs in this thread or in pm. I am having freezing issue when I switch from streaming xvid to trying shoutcast. I had to power off the wii and power it back on. The other problem I am having is if I load it from homebrew channel it has alot of problems reading from SD card, do I need a SD Gecko in the gamecube port?

You can report the bugs here or in PM really doesn't matter I guess. The SD problem via Homebrew Channel is a known issue, however it is an issue with the Homebrew Channel it self and not Wii Miidia. For the freezing when streaning I'm also aware of that issue and am working on trying to get it resolved. That issue is what is actually keeping it from being released public. I did share the source with someone today to see if they can figure out the buffering issues. I figure a set of fresh eyes may see something I'm overlooking.

Will it an open source development ?

Yes I am a big supporter of Open Source and GPL and I do plan on releasing the source code once it is clean and commented. The people I shared it with to help me find the buffering bug was just messing with me about it as a matter of fact since there are no comments in the code at all.

Excellent, open sourcing this project will help other Wii developers to learn from the code and also improve it.

I wish you luck with the project !!

Watch out with the USB Support, its only USB 1.1.
But listening 2 Shoutcast would be very great.

Cool! Looking forward to the release.

Could you please also release a .dol version? It would make it more convenient for some users.

A question: is the Wii powerful enough to decode H.264 videos?
