Not long ago did we report that two teams of coders have attempted to modify the source for MPlayerWii to add more features. Well, we have two more versions to add to the list!

Our first mod comes from tipolosko, who adds DVD support. However, video DVD’s are not supported. Data DVD’s are. Note: DVDx is required in order for this version to function properly.

Download

Our second release is the second revision of DCElso and Qualith’s work. MOD R2 now contains some features that were skipped in the first release:

This new release includes support to DVD by tipolosko, SDHC, sequential and random play.

Release 2 changes:
+ Added tipolosko patch to add DVD support
+ Rebuilt with lastest versions of libogc and libfat (add support to SDHC)
+ Changed wiimote buttons functions like this:
    “A” button plays a single file (as official version)
    “1″ button plays all the list sequentially.
    “2″ button plays the list randomly.
+ Included in this package is the source code patch to apply to official version 0.7 of mplayerwii.

Looks like if Nintendo doesn’t want to add these simple features that every other next generation console has, we can trust the Wii developers to add it for us!

Two new versions of MPlayerWii have been released by coders who decided to take a crack at the source code.

The first version comes from sanderevers, who brings us a version with support for SDHC memory cards:

Our second version comes from DCelso and Quality, which has been codenamed MOD R1. This version supports sequential playback and random playback. No SDHC support is implemented, but rumour has it that it is prioritized for the next release, MOD R2:

As always, these two versions are not official. While they will not permanently damage, the coders for the official MPlayerWii will not provide support for these versions. I guess the approproate warning is: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
