Hacking Help getting Mplayer to stop freezing please ?

[another_waster]

All of the versions of Mplayer I have freeze, Im now on 0.76 and its freezing and sometimes just stopping playing and going back to the selection screen.

I installed the USB2 cios thing onto various number (222,249etc) with no luck...

Anyone help? I love watching flicks on the wii but its kinda wrecks it

sounds like your wifi is dropping the connection have you checked your router settings

Im just playing off a USB stick, should it use wifi for that ?

 

[longtom1]

did you get the usb cIOS from the mplayerce google code page or are you using hermes??

 

[another_waster]

Ive just been playing divx avi files...

Got the hermes thing from here http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/wiki/USB20 - Do I have to choose a different ios to install to or something >?

 

[longtom1]

no you just choose which IOS to install it with not to

could just be that the usb drive hasn't got a fast enough access rate and can't read the files fast enough to keep the buffer filled have you tried a different usb drive/flash drive

Try defragmenting the drive.
Worked for me

not sure what to say. 0.75 froze constantly for me.

0.76 dumped 5 times in a row before letting me in, but somehow has been absolutely crash free ever since.


try hermes v4 cios38+60 as ios202

Must be problems with the USB stick if no one else is struggling - Hmmm - I shall try and defrag / format over the weekend and report back

Hey - Ive tried a new USB stick and used it on my friends USB player and it works fine there - DUnno whats wrong - Might just buy a USB/DVD player as ya can pick one up for £30 anyway!
