Homebrew Mplayer-CE

[UranusKiller]

well can mplayer locate the drive fat partition to play files form it anyway? do you have the cIOS installed?

 

[kyogc]

I have the same problem.

I have IOS202 installed.

In 0.72, I can load MPlayerCE from SD card and play video files on USB device.

However, when I tried to load MPlayerCE from USB device, there's message like "can't find dol .....".

 

[justinvw]

no it wont get that far it just wont load it says it cant find the folder mplayer_ce.

just a question. djdynamite mentioned on tehskeen that mplayer_ce has no error handling concerning badly encoded files. when are you planing to integrate ss like this. the reason for asking is, that the only problem i have with mplayer_ce are random freezes on some videofiles. mostly if the files are about 700-800mb and are more than 1:15 long then i'll get the freeze about half of the movie. after restarting and jumping to a point short before the freeze the player has no problem playing beyond the point of the previous hang.

Yeah, this is a problem that I hope to be fixed soon also. As it's a pretty big issue..


Also, it would be great if they could set MPCE up so that it can update itself to a new version. Just like the HomebrewChannel and HomebrewBrowser are able to do. As I mod friends Wii's, and it would be great if it could just update for them. Since some don't even have SD card readers, or care/know how to update apps and whatnot.

I love this application and the fact that it freezes about 30-45 minutes into a movie is only a small hiccup. It seems that once you reset and start the movie over, everything runs just fine.

So....I hope they're able to fix this issue, in time, if it is a coding problem. Otherwise, I'll keep chugging along using the wii as a media center.

Speaking of, does anyone know of a media center you can buy at the store, preferably one that will stream xvids from the computer?

I know this bug but it's hard to find.
The new version 0.75 with NTFS and FTP support seems to be more stable.
I think the problem is in the sync code, something about gettime function not returning proper value, I've modify libogc and now is more stable but sometimes I get a freeze.
I'll release 0.75 soon, but probably next week

 

[Screemer]

looking forward to it.

do you have DVDx installed? do you have the cIOS installed? if either of them are installed it "will" work just you have don't something wrong like used a +r or rw and not set the bit.

 

[ganons]

does it support dvd iso's?

 

[zektor]

Ahh, I *finally* fixed the freezing/audio sync issues in this player while playing DVD movies. It was DVDX that was the issue. I installed IOS202 from Hermes latest cIOS installer (v3) and it works fine now. Who woulda guessed!

 

[Screemer]

great find. maybe the mplayer_ce-team should bundle a cios with mplayer_ce with all the needed features like usb 2.0, fixed dvd playback, etc.

 

[UranusKiller]

uh? the cIOS is on the google code download page for usb2.0 it's not the cIOS which helps with dvd playback.

 

[Screemer]

bundle?

btw today is a bad day for you isn't it? your post are kind of aggressive.

mplayer_ce use a special cios based on hermes work, is in mplayer_ce website.

If you install this cios you needn't to install dvdx because cios is patched to support dvd directly without dvdx and you'll have usb2 support and a better wifi connection, so I recommend to install this cios

my games play fine from the same disks, i am using the newest ciscorp to run backups and mediaplayer ce, avi files will not load from a disk it will play regular dvds and run avi from sd but not from disk, i had someone tell me no backup loaders run avi from disk yet , is this correct?

 

[UranusKiller]

MPlayerCE can play data files from disk, select WiiDVD, you require either DVDx or MPlayers cIOS 202.

 

[kirbymania]

i remember installing dvdx when i softmodded, i have no idea what MPlayers cIOS 202 is. is there a how to on the install? thx
