I installed it, just too try it out. I don't really intend to use my wii for watching dvd's.
DVD playback works fine, but when I stored a bunch of mp3's on a dvd it wouldn't play them. Any thoughts ?

PS:

I put the mp3 files in the root. Should I have put 'em in a subfolder ?

Me too. I cannot get it to connect to my domain PC. I don't know what to do.

Thanks,

@ Kaymm2

Ya configing SMB is a pain. It more about trail and error. I hope this issue does get resolved

Don't listen to this idiot, he doesn't know what he's talking about...
It isn't a problem with MPlayer_CE.

SMB on Vista doesn't allow a blank password.
Simply set it to something.

Of course, you'll have to type your password at each log in.

You can get around this by using the auto-login feature in Vista:

Go to the command prompt -> type netplwiz
Untick "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".
Enter your password.

Basically I'm trying to get mplayer_ce to work with D-Link NAS. My xboxes with XBMC connects to it fine via SMB. I have an account called samba and password is 12345 with a share called "share" on the NAS. I entered this into the smb.conf and doesn't work.

I have yet to try it with my XP machines or Mac.

Don't bang out crap replies like you need a password and username filled in, totally wrong, in some cases you do, but it can connect as Guest, I honestly don't understand how anyone has no idea how to setup a smb share/ config, is it not easier to figure it out yourself, you know learn a little? searching google etc, than randomly posting here waiting for a utter wrong or non helpful reply?
SMB is simple, I don't understand how people blame MPlayers SMB Networking etc. (Mehhh XBMC works fine) who cares? this ISN'T XBMC!
If you cannot figure it out, you are either really dim or you fail at solving problems.

By default Vista's policy settings do not allow network access with a blank password.
It isn't a "banged out reply", it's fact.

Most people having trouble with Vista and MPlayer_CE SMB
won't experience problems after setting a password.

Or you can edit the policy settings.

hey moron... i never said vista. why did you assume vista? Im running on XP and you still need to enter the password. While all of my other devices including XBMC on xbox work PERFECTLY without any initial hickups or zero passwords (on xp). I know that vista requires a password... even xbmc prompts you for it.

Secondly, I'm very familiar with home netoworking and management. None of my other devices EVER gave me temporary initial trouble like on the Wii. The Wii smb configs were configured 100% correctly but didn't work .... 10min later... working.

Don't be so quick to assume that others know less than you do.

It's hard to tell from your posts.

All you do is shamelessly promote your blog and bump your own threads with half-thought out "comments".

i completely second what jd506 says. your post are not very informative most of the time or the topics you start are in the wrong board section and it seems like you just want to promote your blog. calling someone a moron show how low your social skills are. the interwebs shouldn't be free of manners. for you a look at the following wiki article wouldn't be amiss.

I still can't get mplayerce to connect to a domain PC after trying all these suggestions. Does anyone have it working successfully to a domain PC. If yes, how is your setup?

Thanks,
Kizer
