Watching Video on Wii: Limited but Possible

The Wii has no native streaming apps (Netflix/YouTube/Hulu ended 2019). Workarounds:

  • USB / SD card — Photo Channel plays MP4/AVI/MOV (H.264 baseline, ≤720p).
  • Homebrew (requires mod):
    • WiiMC — Best media player (SMB, USB, DVD, Shoutcast).
    • YouTube Wii — Homebrew app for YT (API v3, 480p).
    • Netflix / Hulu homebrew — Community forks (unstable).
  • Wii U backward compat — Wii U has native Netflix/Hulu/YouTube apps (still work).

Easiest today: Wii U or Chromecast / Fire Stick on same TV.
