Homebrew Wii Browser

gave92 Tried using this ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/2013/revision13/game/pissed.zip as a shortcut but when I do, it says page not found. There some way around this?

 

[gave92]

No way for now, as that url is FTP:// protocol instead of HTTP://.
I'll see what to do.

EDIT: I've fixed this issue in the SVN, with the next version you will be able to use ftp shortcuts too.

gave92 We're getting ever so slowly closer to some kind of release, so i thought I'd test out rar and 7z downloading. The downloading part worked just fine, but upon extraction, the rar code dumped. The 7z took forevvvvvvverrrr to extract, and when I tried switching to the theme I just downloaded, it crashed, because all the files that had been "extracted" were corrupted.

 

[gave92]

Whoa I admit it: I've only tested zip files..
Tomorrow I'll look into this issue

What's the maximum file size can you download on here, I tried at least 300kb but it just stops and deletes the file. Also can I get a link for the latest revision with the folder and stuff.

A devious little thought crossed my mind. Certain funny sounding individuals have made it painfully clear that they in no way intend to include the source menu in the same download as their themes. Would it be possible to have two different download links in a shortcut, and have one start when the first one finishes?

Yeah, wiibrowser has become quite popular
Next month I'll have to move downloadable files to another hosting site, this should save much bandwidth.

Would it be possible to have two different download links in a shortcut, and have one start when the first one finishes?

It's possible, but if would be much simpler if all files in a shortcut could share the same "downloadfolder": would this be ok?

PS: Still no luck with .rar and .7z files, but there's the serious possibility that next rev will bring support for video playing

as far as free hosting sites, just for files (and I think allowing direct downloads) the first two free ones that come to mind are
google drive https://drive.google.com/
and dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/

Also, while 7Z and RAR files would be NICE ... I don't really see the problem with just sticking to ZIP files ... but maybe that's just me.

And if worse comes to worse with the multiple files thing you could always have twp separate Flowmart entries, something like:
"X theme (no source menu)"
and
"source menu for X theme"

gave92 I don't think d/loading to the same folder would work for since the files need to be in different locations. Drakorex it might be best to let the user decide to d/load a source menu and theme seperarely unless gave92 can add some lines to the WiiBrowser plugin, like

url1=
Downloadfolder1=
Url2=
Downloadfolder2=

Something along those lines since im not looking at the ini now i cant remember exactly. Basically it would start the second download once the first one finishes. Awesome news regarding video playback, very exciting and impressive how much WiiBrowser has evolved. Great coding gave92

Ok it wasn't that hard, you will be able to use:

StartPage = url1|url2|url3...
DownloadFolder = dlfolder1|dlfolder2|dlfolder3...
FlowMartMode = 1

or

StartPage1 = url1
DownloadFolder1 = dlfolder1
StartPage2 = url2
DownloadFolder2 = dlfolder2
StartPage3 = url3
DownloadFolder3 = dlfolder3
FlowMartMode = 1

Note the line "FlowMartMode = 1", it's necessary to enable multiple downloads per shortcut
All downloads will happen in parallel

gave92 Drakorex it might be best to let the user decide to d/load a source menu and theme seperarely

So you think it would be better not to have source menus with the themes at all? I figured bundling a source with the theme would save the user some download time.

Also, while 7Z and RAR files would be NICE ... I don't really see the problem with just sticking to ZIP files ... but maybe that's just me.

The issue with rar/7z files is I don't want to have to rehost everything, and it would be better to download directly from the original link so any party poopers can't say "How dare you mirror my files, take 'em down!" And 7z/rar is seemingly increasingly popular, and I'm not gonna be like "Um...Hey guys? Could you please rehost your files in a zip folder for my little FlowMart plugin? KTHNKSBAI!"

Ok it wasn't that hard, you will be able to use:

StartPage = url1|url2|url3...
DownloadFolder = dlfolder1|dlfolder2|dlfolder3...
FlowMartMode = 1

or

StartPage1 = url1
DownloadFolder1 = dlfolder1
StartPage2 = url2
DownloadFolder2 = dlfolder2
StartPage3 = url3
DownloadFolder3 = dlfolder3
FlowMartMode = 1

Note the line "FlowMartMode = 1", it's necessary to enable multiple downloads per shortcut

I do believe we've (you) just created Que list for downloads. Amazing. Just a random thought. Would be extremely spiffy if the wiishop music could play in the background of the plugin while downloading. Do with that what you will.

Sorry I kinda fell off the map there for a while. I've been busy with school and playing actual video games lately. I just haven't had a ton of time to work on a banner. I had something, but I thought it sucked and decided to use SaveGameManagerGX's banner as a base. I'll work on it and have it up soon. (If not tomorrow, than friday night for sure)

 

[gave92]

drakorex you may like to try this: it's a compiled boot.dol that includes a fix for rar files (7z still not work)
and support for multiple download links in shortcuts plus a "spiffy surprise"

CheatFreak47 Thanks for what you're doing!
emh.. a new icon.png wold be nice too

Cool, i'll do one of those then too, since i'll have the graphic assets already.

Just tried rar downloading, went off without a hitch! 7Z is confirmed not working. I was not spiffily surprised. Looked in the settings, not even an option for music. Possibly because it was taken out of the app settings?

I think updates through the app are no longer available? This new releases are beta ones?

Only stable updates are supported.

 

[CheatFreak47]

I'm thinking something like this.

Edit: Maybe darker logo?

App autoupdate still works: let's call this a "pre-release for loyal users"

Nice work CheatFreak47!
But don't forget that America is not the only continent on earth


drakorex the new music will play only if you start the app from a shortcut that has the line "FlowMartMode = 1"
