DragonMedia Player v0.03 Alpha - Image 1 


The Nintendo Wii could turn into a budding media center with DragonMedia Player version 0.03 Alpha, if author DragonMinded's ambitious project could deliver the goods.

Seeing as this native Wii application (yes - no Linux required, folks!) most recent build already incorporates MODPlug tracker as well as standard MPEG audio layer 3 playback, it's already turning out into the standard Winamp 2.xx player we grew familiar with in the 90s. The following formats are supported:
  • it
  • mod
  • mp1
  • mp2/mpa
  • mp3
  • s3m
  • wav (8/16/24/32 mono/stereo)
  • xm
But the homebrew developer isn't done yet, for DragonMinded's ultimate goals for DragonMedia Player include more playback support for other formats (FLAC support coming, and possibly video as well), and the ability to play media sources over the DVD drive, a USB-connected hard drive, and over the Internet (i.e., Shoutcast, Webcast, Flash video).

For now, DragonMedia Player has very limited functions for playback. It will play what supported media files are present inside the present SD card loaded into the front, no matter what its location is inside the card. The sequence of discovery will determine the sequence of the playlist progression, and there's little ability to re-sort the playlist.

Playlists, random order play, a seek bar, and icons will soon be integrated in future versions of DragonMedia Player, so we'll keep an eye out for further iterations of the project. For now, install the DMP onto the APPS folder of your Homebrew Channel SD card, and it can be executed from there. For media control, look to the Stay tuned for more updates.

If DM can get all of this working, this app will become a must have. I'm supporting this. Defiantly go for video.
