i have to ask shizzza something in german. sorry it's OT.

mal ne kurze frage. warum haben du und NeoRame eigentlich fast den gleichen avatar?

Cos we are Team NeoShizzza, sometimes ^^

QUOTE(WiiShizzza @ Apr 7 2009, 08:01 AM) Does this version work with an USB HDD but with more then 1 partition?
And the movies are on the second partition.

It looks like only the first partition is read by MPlayer. You have to switch the movies partition to the first position.

Well, yeah. But the hdd loader doesn't suport a WBFS partition on second place...
Geexbox can read from the 2nd partition...

Yes it does. I have a 1,5TB HDD, first partition 1TB (FAT32) and second 500GB (WBFS, formated with Windows tool). USB Loader reads the second partition perfectly, so do Geexbox and MPlayer with the first partition.

Hi

I have the same problem to read movie from 2nd partition FAT32 with Mplayer CE 0.4 (i installed
the CIOS USB2 Beta3, not the Beta2, an re-installed the dvdx with cios 202 but i think it's not the problem)
because in the first position i have a WBFS partition for USB loader 1.1.
As you suggested, I try to run Geexbox (from version alpha3 to alpha6) but the the software never loaded from HBC, it stopped to a mounting problem of the USB external HDD apparently.
I have a Western Digital 250Gb Passport. A problem of compatibility ?

any Idea ?

 

[yoshi_2000]

yes the usbloader support the WBFS partition in second position, BUT not the wbfs_win.exe utility which
allows to copy files to wbfs partition with windows (vista in my case)

 

[WiiShizzza]

well, so any idea how to move my 1st WBFS partition to 2nd place?
Do I have to delete everything ?

 

[yoshi_2000]

i'm afraid yes or you have to copy temporarely everything on another HDD and re-copy after ...

try gparted. i am not sure but it could be that it can swap partitions. it has a move option but i never used it. might worth a try.

 

[yoshi_2000]

any idea about the wbfs_win.exe which not support the wbfs partition in the second position ?

 

[Screemer]

you might want to take a look at this: http://wiinewz.com/forums/backup-loaders/9...ager-2-0-a.html it doesn't use a wbfs-exe.

 

[yoshi_2000]

thanks man !!!
i'll try this this evening and hope it will solve the problem

I just tried it. It doesn't fix the problem.

 

[WiiShizzza]

anybody knows why movies played either with mplayer or geekbox do bucking?
The picture isn't really smooth, is it ?

 

[yoshi_2000]

I just tried it. It doesn't fix the problem.

it's a shame, and i don't see any solution to access to this second partition FAT32 with another
Media player for the Wii ....

 

[WiiShizzza]

Geexbox Alpha6 can definitely do it.

 

[bussdee]

Using a modified version of GeexBox now and it works perfect !!!

 

[yoshi_2000]

As i said before, i can't even make geexbox alpha6 working (is there another version since yesterday ?)
Geexbox try to mount the usb device, but apparently, it failed (because of the wbfs partition in the first
position)

What do you mean ?

 

[bussdee]

What do you mean ?

I got the same problem because of the wbfs-partition.
I tryed a lot of media players, but i can`t handle it to find my video files on the 2nd partition on my external HD.
Now i am using a modified GeexBox and everything works perfekt!
Games are loading from 1st partition in wbfs and movies are playing with GeexBox on 2nd partition in NTFS

 

[WiiShizzza]

what version are you using ?
Any Link ?

GeeXboX - Mod by Tulkas 0.1Alpha04

[yoshi_2000]

ok thanks for the information
Does it handle USB2 ? It's not very important cos' i guess usb1.1 i enough for reading most part of
divx movie

 

[bussdee]

i dont know if it uses 1.1 or 2.0
but it`s running great, just the first 1-2 seconds after you start a big video file are stottering/laggy

avi & divX works fine for me !
