Hi,

I have downloaded and installed GeeXboX according to the instructions included with the files.
The menu appears but I cannot neither move the cursor nor scroll it down, everything is frozen and the only way to get the Wii back to life is to power it off.

I follow the instruction, I press both 1+2 from my wiimote and get the four flashing lights, but nothing moves after that.

Any idea why?

My wii is software modded (TP).

Thank you
Alex
 
I get the same thing with the newest copy. Older copies work fine. You shouldn't have to press 1+2, that was only from the program's first release.

Well, if this is a known bug it seems strange to me that it has not been fixed yet

However, your suggestion is to go down to Alpha5, where can I download this version from?

Thank you!

the one i posted is a unofficial pimp nasty build i also gave it a zelda theme for shits and giggles lol it includes the djdynimite/ geexbox channel with forwarder and alot of extras better usb drive support thanks to it being the UO build

Formats Supported:

MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska (mkv) popular for blu-ray rips, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies.

Install Info:

Simply place the apps,wad and geexbox folders included in the Zip archive on your SD cards root directory and then load wad manager intall GeeXbox.wad and launch the channel

Optional

* USB keyboard
* Bluetooth mobile phone (MIDP 2.0-compatible with AT+CMER implementation)
* USB ethernet adapter/PC-to-PC link cable (theoretically any model supported by linux 2.6.24.4 should work)

* USB Mass Storage Device AKA USB EXTERNAL HDD SUPPORTED

(flash disks, card readers, external enclosures, etc. Supports reading of nearly all major *nix/Win/Mac partition types and writing the majority of them except NTFS/UFS)
 
From what I remember, GeeXboX never seemed to like GC memory cards or when the write lock on your SD card was disabled.

If that doesn't work, playing around with the Mplayer config file never hurts.
 
i always have mine plugged in maybe you used an old build bro try that modified one

Builds from independent developers go here. Diffs must be included since the GeeXboX code is GPL.
0.1Alpha04 modified by Tulkas

Tulkas made some minor modifications to add support of additional filesystem types and also accidentally fixed a loading bug.

do you have your Gamecube Controller Plugged in? This is a common problem for me after I've been playing Smash, I forget to unplug the GC controller and Geexbox chooses that as the default controller.

Or, try all of your Wii Remotes, for some reason, only one of my remotes every works with the new geexbox, even if I try to sync up another one, it's always just the one that connects.
 
I'm on 4.0U and I have alpha6, once mine loads to the end it shuts off my Wii. Anyone know why that happens. Thought it could be the hard drive but removed it and still shuts off my Wii. Any help would be great
