Jeff’s Brain Dump

Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.

WeTube / WiiTube

Posted by Jeff December 23, 2006

So the Wii supports Flash in the Opera browser, and it’s not half bad. This also opens the door to Flash games, see WiiCade.
We had 8 people over last night who hadn’t seen Dick in a Box. I hooked the laptop up to the receiver but didn’t have an SVideo cable for video out. The Wii seems perfect for social viewing of vids– especially since Opera does pan and zoom.

I love the idea of sharing vids with a large group without having to wrangle A/V equipment. XBMC is great, but the Wii is a Trojan Horse with a lot of future possibilities.

Edit: SofaTube gives the Fisher Price UI needed for video selection. I’m so getting a Wii as soon as I can pay retail..

    You can watch Youtube, Dailymotion, Google, etc on XBMC, you just have to use the latest xbmcfox and this site:

    MiiTube, I think, is better for watching YouTube videos on your Wii. Check it out:
