Homebrew coder Tantric is back in the Wiibrew scene to release the first version of WiiMC, a feature-pack open source media player for the Nintendo Wii that is being dubbed as the successor of MPlayer CE.

Developer's note:

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of  Version 1.0 of WiiMC. It’s been a long time in the works, but we finally feel confident enough in the quality of the application to release it. However, please keep in mind that as this is a first release you will likely encounter bugs or find features missing that you may have been expecting.

We highly recommend that you download and run the IOS 202 Installer before starting WiiMC for the first time, even if you have previously installed IOS 202.

Please find your way to the Forum to discuss the project or any issues you have. If you do encounter a bug, please report it.

There’s still plenty of improvement possible, in terms of stability, performance, and features, so I would like to invite anyone who’s interesting in helping out to dive into the source code and start coding. We definitely need the help. If you have trouble compiling, visit our Forum. If you do make changes that you feel would be useful, please submit a patch.

Feature list:

• Ability to play virtually any video or audio format
• DVD playback, with DVD menu support (requires IOS 202)
• Picture viewer
• Music player
• Online media support
• SD, USB 2.0, SMB, HTTP, and FTP support
• Attractive libwiigui-based interface, designed with the Wii in mind
