Wii Miidia is a free and open source media center application for the Wii. Wii Miidia can play most audio and video file formats, as well as display images from the Wii's built in SD card slot, the Internet and LAN shares. It is based on two media center software for other gaming consoles: XBMC for the Xbox and mfe (MPlayer Front End) for GameCube.

[edit] Features
[edit] Audio/Video playback and handling
Wii Miidia can play media from the Wii's built-in SD Card slot. Wii Miidia can also take advantage of the Wii's WiFi or ethernet connection to stream them over SMB/SAMBA/CIFS shares (Windows File-Sharing), ReplayTV DVRs, UPnP (Universal Plug and Play ) shares, XBMSP (Xbox Media Stream Protocol) shares, or stream iTunes-shares via DAAP. If internet access is available, it can also stream Internet-video-streams and play Internet-radio-stations (such as SHOUTcast). Wii Miidia also includes the option to submit music usage statistics to Last.fm. It also has music/video-playlist features, picture/image-slideshow functions, an MP3+CDG karaoke function and many audio-visualizations and screensavers. Wii Miidia output resolution is limited to 480p by the Wii's hardware.

[edit] History
The first version was released by dCiSo in May 2008. dCiSo was a fan of XBMC and said that seeing the hard work on the XBMC project inspired him to give back.[1] It is based on XBMC and mfe. Most of the streaming abilities were from XBMC amd most of the Video part came from MFE. It is based on the Linux operating system.[2]
[edit] Running
Wii Miidia is a hobby project that is developed by volunteers in their spare-time for free. It is not produced, endorsed, or supported by Nintendo. As a result, Wii Miidia, like all Wii homebrew applications, requires a modchip or the Twilight hack exploit to run. Wii Miidia is licensed under the GPL.
