Hacking Geexbox / Media Center

[stevie1978]

I need some assistance setting up Geexbox for wifi.

I am having real problems in amending the file so the wii can see all the machines on the wireless network. Can anyone please give me a simple A-Z on how to set-up the file on the SDCARD.

Also, can anyone recommend any other Media Centers for the Wii and there pros and cons

Cheers

as far as i know wifi smb doesn't work in geexbox ..

mplayer-ce is IMO the best media center for the wii so far ..

as far as i know your wrong

geexbox is WAY better than mplayer, mplayer constantly crashes with my mkv's while geexbox never fails to read anything i throw at it. And yes geexbox DOES have wifi smb , you just need to use the mini version instead of the ios version. Sorry i can't help with getting it running though, make sure you specify passwords if there is any etc etc basic stuff

If you are planning on just playing .avi TV shows and DVD rips via SMB then Mplayer CE works great. I use it all the time and it's very stable for that.
