Hacking Is there a chance in the future to have a media player like WiiMC, for example?

[nWo]

As of this day, I still use sometimes WiiMC on the Wii, to play some music and videos on the TV. It is possible for the Switch to have something like that in the near future? With SD support or maybe USB in the long term...

Just wanted to know if that would ever been possible.

Yes, sure

It won’t be as useful though, since on (some) Wii’s you could play discs with it (like mine )

Exactly. It just never happened...

Why are we getting so many crystal ball questions lately?

inb4 those a-holes that come along and say "juzt inzthal lynuz inda swix!1!!!1!1"

But I do hope so, I was eagerly awaiting for a Media Center for the Wii U, but it never came sadly :/
Seeing how well the Switch is doing and how many apps are being made, I can definitely see it happening once we get GPU and JIT working through the libt or libnx libraries

I for one am expecting Kodi to pop up at some point, which will be absolutely perfect for the Switch.

We used to use our Wii for watching DVDs with it, but if we paused it and left it long enough for the disc to spin down, then it wouldn't start up again.
