Left my IRC window open today while I was at work and saw the new beta to try. So gave it a try along with a few other things.
Things I tried:
Running mplayer_ce off my USB drive instead of SD
Running off of a USB memory stick instead of SD or drive.
Reformatted SD
Fresh install from google code
Repeat first 3 items
Replaced the .dol with the one from IRC
Repeat the first 3 items
In all cases it works fine as long as I don't edit any of the .conf files. But as soon as I do I start to get the random freezes in the menus again - and when I do make it through to the network just get the same "please wait" or "error reconnecting" too fast for it to really be trying to connect.
Other networking on the wii works fine, and so does shoutcast. But SMB/FTP cause random freezes in the menus as soon as I edit the .conf files to enable them. (Using ultraedit and preserving the line end mode which has worked in all previous versions up until .75)
It's normal at the beggining because mplayer need to connect all network stuff, so when you access to smb or ftp sometimes you will get a freezee 1 or 2 seconds to stablish connection and read directory.

Trying to find time to try some of this interactively while in IRC...but right now my IRC client is in a different building than my wii so it's a little tricky...may have time tomorrow evening to get my notebook near the wii.
Love mplayer - just getting tired of having to swap from my game drive to my video drive and carrying the video drive back and forth to the computer I keep my videos on.
Downloaded the source from CSV but having some build issues. Got libogc, libfat and freetype to build...but getting errors on libjpeg (ugh, jpeg libraries always give me a hard time for some reason), libiconv and libfribidi still. For some reason I'm getting a permission denied error when I try to do the make install:
CODEMake: execvp: /bin/install: Permission denied
I'm guessing devkitpro is using cygwin based on that path? Got to do more reading about devkit....
