So I want to make a video player on the Wii

[ConnorsTechTips]

I want to make a Wii game that has videos on it and you have like a chapter selector and you click the video you wanna play and then it plays it but I don’t know how to make a game that can do that

Sorry if the grammar is bad because I am too lazy to type this out

You're best starting off with something simple when it comes to Wii homebrew development.

Start with DevkitPro and look at the sourcecode for one of the video player projects, like WiiMC. It's the best video player the Wii has right now, and I believe it uses FFMPEG for the codecs.

Wii homebrew developers generally use devkitPro.

The video selector when you start up the game doesn’t have to be fancy. It just can be a black background with green text and you use the dpad to select it and then you press A

I looked into the WiiMC source code, and I have no idea what I’m doing

It's best you start out with something more simple than a video player, like a little test of the wii's features. (pointing, gyro, etc.) If you don't already know how to code in C, then I suggest you probably should get on that.

Convert your video files to SWF format and make a Flash inject.

For this, you just need a program called CustomizeMii, which does a lot of the heavy work for you.
