libdi and the DVDX installer.

A very first full proof DVD player has been released for the Wii. It combines the functions of MplayerWii and is the first FULL media center for the Wii.
Per HackMii.com
As you all know, I’ve been working on libdi (or the DVD Access library) for a while now. We had some problems getting it out to release because of the difficulties we encountered while writing the second part of this topic. The DVDX installer instead will install a small, hidden, channel on your Wii that allows you to read DVDs on an unmodified system. It is not an installer for a patched IOS. You may however need one, depending on your system.
Usage of this package is fairly simple. Run the installer.dol found in the package, follow the onscreen instructions, and you’re done.
Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the splendor of mplayer. That what started out as a simple proof of concept has rapidly turned into a full-featured media player, under the nourishing hands of dhewg. The main aim of the mplayer project was to get DVDVideo going, but it also supports reading video files off the SD card. (Experimental).
A patch for Wii64, the N64 emulator for the Wii, will also be available shortly. This patch will allow you to read games off a DVD.
If you have a modchip, you also need patchmii, in addition to the DVDX stub installer.
Please note that DVD+R (as opposed to DVD-R) discs will need to have their BookType set to DVD-ROM to work properly in Normal mode (if you have no modchip). PatchMii mode does not have this requirement, but requires a modchip.

DOWNLOAD Prepackaged Lib/DVDx installer from NES-Hacks
*Run PatchMii_Core first on HBC ONLY if you have a modded console
1. Copy all 3 folders to the APPS folder on your SD card
1.1 Run PatchMii_Core Installer on HBC (ONLY IF YOU HAVE A MODDED CONSOLE)
2. Run Lib Installer on HBC
3. Run MplayerWii on HBC
finally my wish came true
Hmm, Can an Iso loader be far behind?
They said they’re trying to avoid allowing ISO loaders. But someone will surely do it.
i hope so
give it a few weeks
a few weeks? dont you mean 5 days? lol
Yea a few days, and itll be on its alpha
I had a problem after installing libdi, so I can´t play SSBB fine i got an error that says “The disc could not be read”. Why is this message? before the library I played so good the game a lot of hours
Oh yes, I don´t have modchip…
you can uninstall the libdi. just run the installer again and it will give you the option to uninstall it. This is still beta, might give some issues but i dont see why it happened to you regarding SSBB
when i’m installing patchmii it only says “initialising network….” then shuts down, do you need an internet connection for this?
