episteme said: It should technically be possible, but there are licensing issues. I'm sometimes using Plex to stream from PC to Wii U (in the browser). It natively supports x264 because I can stream 1080p MP4 files without stressing the Plex app on PC. The CPU usage goes to 2-3% with some files that use an audio codec that the Wii U doesn't support natively (like DTS). I can also stream 4K files, but is stresses the PC CPU by 30-40% because it has to convert it to 1080p. |
Didn't know Plex.. and nice info.. (did knew about streaming and also did it with mp4 on wii)
And yes Bunchanumbers.. If Nintendo can't or wanna.. I would love VLC did it (offcourse expecten them to include upad.. (but i think they would.. can't be that long before all smart tv has "screen remotes" and they could use the codes and knowhow later)
And if VLC or other 3 part did it.. would it cost them more than the software.. ?
(Do theese media player "makers" pay every time they comes onto a new platform)

VLC is a free open source media player. I think the biggest hurdle would be Nintendo adding it to the app list. I wouldn't even mind if I had to pay 99 cents for it. The team certainly earned it.

Yes thats right.. And I don't even think they could charge anything.
It would be a pretty nice update..:)
Think it could happen.. if Nintendo wants.
And if there was easy donating.. I also think many would use that. (if the upad intergration was good and it worked well)
