Homebrew - GeeXboX v0.1alpha3 - Image 1 


Wiibrew developer farter has released a major update to GeeXboX, a media player for the Wii that supports all audio and video formats that MPlayer does (even rmvb!). It sports an impressive list of features, including USB storage, ethernet, an image viewer, netstreaming, an http/telnet/ft server, and more.

This new version has several new features, and has been updated to MPlayer r27630. Some of the more notable new features are extended subtitle support, and on-the-fly aspect ratio change. Here's the changelog:
  • Implementation of optional 'vsync' to improve screen tearing in certain cases
  • Support for on-the-fly aspect ratio change
  • Fixed DVD-VIDEO aspect ratio error when switching between menu and movie
  • Disabling libass to fix lagging and freezing caused by text subtitles
  • Disabling colored spu to fix DVD-VIDEO/vobsub subtitile display
  • Support for vobsub subtitles in rar archive format
  • Support for optionally lowering subtitles into blackbars
  • Fixed subtitle charset conversion
  • Update to MPlayer r27630
