So I this whole thread last night while at work in preparation to getting Mplayer CE up and running today on my Wii. I fakesigned my IOS36, got 202 installed properly, even put everything on a new 4GB SDHC card and installed Mplayer CE. I played with some streams, even loaded up an Xvid of District 9 which was playing smooth and awesome. So I turn off, take out my SD card and put it back in my notebook and edit the smb.conf to see if I can connect to the movie folder I have on here which I just setup. Things look good in Vista, I've got my IP figured out, No password, back to the Wii we go.
Now Mplayer loads fine, but when I hit right to select and option it just freezes and I cannot move, power off (via remote), nothing. I let it sit for 10 minutes and still nothing, the menu says "Stop, Open, Current Playlist, .......) so I'm thinking that since it says "Stop" up top it must be trying to play or resume from somewhere or else just flat out stuck. Any fix or workaround to this, I really love this program and it's potential! No more waiting 2 hours to burn Xvids to DVDs to watch anymore!!
Thanks
Oh and incase you need it, it's a softmodded 4.1U Wii!
EDIT/UPDATE:
Okay, so I removed the SMB.conf file and also removed the District 9 Xvid off the SD Card, and reloaded MPlayer which is functioning fine now. I put the SMB.conf file back, and BAM!!! Everything is working flawlessly. I have my SMB share goto my torrent folder, and viewed a few movies from there which all streamed fast and played great. Awesome job guys!!!
