Homebrew WiiMC RELEASED!!! (Wii Media Center)

[julz1]

Has anyone played any MP4 M4A files i wanted to watch some podcasts but they dont show up

 

[jheredia]

is it possible to use this (or another program) to share files with computers/other media receivers?

I want to have my hard drive with games/movies hooked up to the wii and then hopefully connect to it through my network and watch the stored movies on another computer/tv/media center.

I see that this has a FTP server but that only lets me share WITH the wii not FROM the wii (i believe)

are the media playback files your trying to play have hardcoded subtitles or not?

I had subs with one of my MKV files working fine. I have some OGM that won't display the subs though, for some reason. It has nothing to do with them being OGM, I can say that much.

i finally got smb working, in case this helps anyone...

you can only share a FOLDER not a drive. its gay in my opinion, but thats the only way to smb share. using win7, right click the folder, go to share with -> specific people then drop down to everyone and click add. let win7 do its thing and it should work.

use your ipv4 address (you can get this from going to a command prompt and typing ipconfig). make sure you type the name of the folder you just shared in wiimc. and user/pass if you have one.

just got done watching season 5 of tim and eric awesome show.

You would of knew this by reading mplayer_ce's config setup guides. It's not gay as to reason why, their is a simple reason for not browsing through IP.

I see it has an FTP client - where is the FTP server settings?

Awesome job so far guys. I'm switching from Geexbox to this as it seems an obvious change.

My Wii is always laggy on larger (1-2gb) MKV files. Is this normal?
Any chance for XVID support?
Is there support for Video Playlists? I'd love to set it to play an entire season of whatever show I'm trying to watch...

Also having difficulty setting up a new SMB on Win7 64bit. I'm totally new to this and haven't done my homework yet. Trying to share my entire "F" drive (which is just a default download location). Do I need to contain everything in this drive in a common folder before the SMB will work properly?

 

[rayben]

Guy a few posts up said you can only share a single folder, not a whole drive. So id say yes.

i was able to share the whole drive in mplayer. maybe im crazy and i don't remember correctly, but im pretty sure i just put in the drive's share name and i was able to look through everything. the emulators could too.

Wrong, you shared a FOLDER, not a partition drive. http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f...&p=213#p213

You can share a whole drive just fine.

Well, I read through the tut on SMB Shares and moved everything into a folder and now it works just fine. Thanks for the link!

Also, to the authors: Awesome job on this, it is amazing and you've got my vote for best media player hands down. You guys did an amazing job on this, be proud!

Feature Requests:
MP3 Visualizations (and possibly slideshow with our own images)
Cover Art or thumbnail for TV/Movie files
Power Hour or Centurion mode for MP3 files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_hour)
MP3 control via WiiMote (ability to change tracks without the buttons on the screen)
Skins (i really like the default one, but having other options is always nice)
USB Support for both ports
Sleep Timer for both audio and video
Additional "View Modes" (Media Flow / Cover Art Browser)

I had problems sharing a drive before. I did however just get one to work on one of my computers so hopefully I can get it to work on the others.

On another note I've had more code dumps with this app than all other apps I've ever used combined. :/

The only thing that needs improving now (for me, at least

) is the internet media streaming quality. Everything else works fine for me, and it rocks!

Just updated to the latest version via my Wii, awesome work on that one!
Now I don't get any code dumps anymore with my NTFS drive.
It's amazing to see that the first versions are already so working good, congratulations!

You can share a whole drive just fine.

But I have tried this MANY times and did not get it to successfully work. I added a share folder and it works fine. All my drives are fully accessible from my laptops. All have full permission for everyone. I don't know where the problem is. The one folder I shared works perfect, but drives do not. Maybe something is screwed up in windows.

 

[crwys]

You can share a whole drive or just some folders. Both have been working fine for me.

Great piece of work!

Donated 5 Euro's as thanks
