There are also other things I wouldn't mind seeing Homebrewed like the ability to play video files (mkv?). Maybe the disc drive can even be hacked to play Blu-Ray discs.

The video files is possible, but playing blue ray discs will be impossible. 

Why? Wii U uses a Bly-ray drivers with a proprietary filesystem.... the hack just needs to make the Blu-ray drive read the standard Blu-ray filesystem.

Nothing different from what we saw in the Wii with DVD.

That will only be possible if the proprietary disc drive doesn't differ too much form an actual blue ray disc drive. It probably can be done, but at the expense of probably not being able to play Wii U games.
