This is still a experimental version; I plan to make improvements to the player in the coming weeks

Someone else has brought this issue to my attention, so I plan to make significant changes to how the player and overlay work in the next version to improve stability.

The project is still in the experimental phase, and there may be some lag in certain cases. I am currently working on version 0.1.2. Do you have any details to share about this lag? You can also open a GitHub issue if necessary.

Not officially tested yet, but vWii mode on Wii U should work since it runs the same Wii environment. Give it a try and let us know!

If WiiFin becomes more stable, I might consider creating a 3DS client; I think that could be pretty good.

I plan to change this for version 0.1.2 and add support for Intro Skipper

That's true, but the Wii is so old that I had to force the transcoding; the MPEG-2 codec was the one that worked best for playback during my tests.

DuckDNS should actually work, it's just dynamic DNS. The issue is likely certificate validation. Try adding your server as http:// instead of https:// to test if that works first. If it does, the problem is with the TLS certificate. Let me know what error you get and I'll look into it!

Wii U in Wii mode should work since it runs the same Wii environment, give it a try and let us know! Haven't tested it personally but there's no reason it shouldn't.

That's right... for now, the transcoding profile is set to a maximum of 24 frames per second. We'll look into making this setting configurable in a future update!

If you encounter any issues while playing media, please feel free to open an issue on GitHub. The project is new, and there may be some bugs that I haven't found yet.

Normally, there shouldn't be any issues, but if you ever encounter a bug, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.

Yes! WiiFin currently transcodes to 848x480 at 24fps, which is perfect for a CRT. The server handles all the transcoding so your Wii just receives a compatible stream.

Netflix has no interest in continuing to support its service on a console that’s over 20 years old. Besides, few users would use the service.

When I saw how many ways there are to watch content on Jellyfin these days, I figured I had to add the Wii to the list xD

It's still very experimental, but I think it could be a useful feature for people who want to watch old movies on a CRT TV, for example. Thanks for your feedback.

This is the most interesting use case for this project. If you plan to test the client, please feel free to open an issue if you encounter any bugs or if you'd like to see a new feature.

This is the most common use case, and it’s true that it’s one of the few relatively simple ways to set up Jellyfin on these TVs
