Wii DVD playback no longer working

When did you last use this? If I remember correctly the method used tom play DVDs was changed after the System Menu v4.3 (June 2010) update, and you need IOS58 to use the new method.
But I am not sure, I only played a DVD once for a view minutes as a test years ago and never used it as a DVD player, I have enough other devices for that.
Best look in the documentation of WiiMC how to set up DVD playback now or try a different Wii media player with DVD capabilities.

 

best to but a $30 dvd player

 

if you have an older wii get ios 58 no patches have HBC 1.0.8 or higher version and download wiimc put in a dvd and play it from the disc option in wiimc

 

I had this problem. I fixed it by using a older version of the hackmii installer to reinstall DVDX.

 

Make sure you are using the latest HBC and IOS58. That will give you AHBPROT, which is total access to the Wii (hence DVDX is useless). Also check meta.xml to make sure you did not comment out AHBPROT.

 

Had this same problem. With no software solution, I opened the wii and ever-so-gently brush the dust off the eye with a Q-tip. it works well (for Brawl too), but not long here in dust-coated New Mexico.

 

Nintendo lens cleaner, although it looks like they quit making it, I bought one at gamestop a few years ago. Works wonders for dual layer disc games and dual layer disc DVD movies.

I was once told the official disk cleaner effed up the lense by a gamestop worker. But i take anything they say with a few grains of salt.

 

It was probably the effed up gamestop worker that effed up the Wii while cleaning the lens. I had no problems cleaning my lens with the Nintendo brand lens cleaner, I think I bought it because the Other M game I rented wouldn't work, upon cleaning the lens the game worked.

 

Gamestop workers cant tell an from
Back on topic, consider that the problem may be a dirty lense. Use the clener kit or open it and clean it yourself to see if it works.
