WiiFin: Experimental Jellyfin Client for Nintendo Wii

WiiFin is an innovative homebrew client designed specifically for the Nintendo Wii, offering a streamlined media browsing and playback experience for Jellyfin users. Developed in C++ with GRRLIB and MPlayer CE, it provides essential features like authentication through username/password or QuickConnect, secure storage of multiple profiles, and detailed library browsing with cover art. Users can enjoy video and music playback with server-side transcoding, while the player overlay offers controls like seek bar, volume, and subtitle switching.

Despite being functional, WiiFin is still under active development, meaning users might encounter some rough edges when using it on real hardware. Known limitations include the lack of direct-play support, reliance on server-side transcoding for video, and stereo-only audio output. The project is open to contributions, welcoming pull requests, bug reports, and feature suggestions from the community.

For those interested in building WiiFin, the process requires devkitPro, GRRLIB, and other libraries, with optional MPlayer CE for video playback. The project structure is organized into directories for core functions, input handling, Jellyfin API integration, and user interface components. Future enhancements on the roadmap include sorting/filtering items, marking favorites, and introducing multiple UI color themes.

WiiFin is distributed under the GPLv3 license, ensuring it remains open-source and accessible for further development and customization.
