Want to Watch Movies On Your Wii? My Wii News shows you how!

15
For those in the know, Xbox Media Center (XBMC) is one of the greatest homebrew applications ever created. It perfectly streams movies, videos, pictures and more from your computer or the Xbox's internal harddrive onto your TV, turning last-generations behemoth into a wonderfully powerful media center experience. Unfortunately, running XBMC takes two things that you probably don't have: an old Xbox lying around, and the correct tools to do dastardly deeds to the consoles innards to either soft mod (through applications) or hard mod (through actual computer chips) the Xbox in question. Sure, you could just run out and plunk down $300-400 for one of those other consoles that have limited playback support, but what's the fun in that?

Wii owners handy with their Twilight Princess discs, rejoice! Wii Miidia is here to save the day! With a core program that clevery "borrows" from XBMC, WiiMiidia 0.1 will let you play back most any common movie or music format on your TV in no time...

I really want to try this out, but, I have way to much saved data on my Wii, and I would kill myself if it got erased, and apparently, the Twilight Hack erases data (over 100 hours of brawl...) Also, is this considered modding your Wii? Cause I don't want to mess with it so I can't receive updates.

2.2 - could always back it up
Back up data to an SD card. Something gets erased, you lose stuff, but at least not everything.

No you can update fine and dandy and I wouldn't think it's considered a mod. It's really just a glitch in a game that's being taken advantage of.
This is a great release, I can't believe all these homebrewers are showing Nintendo up by doing what they can't or more likely won't.
