Homebrew WiiMC SMB Viewing Troubles

[yusuo]

after using this a few days im having alot of problem with samba viewing, after about 10 mins the program losses the stream and messes up, forcing a reset, its very annoying as i love the program but because of this bug ive had to go back to mplayer,

It worked perfectly at first and then after 3 days of use started to act like this, it literally is losing the stream every 10 mins.

There is no problem with my network as mplayer doesnt have one issue with the same videos from the same source, is there a work around or do i have to wait for a fix as i love the design of wiimc

Well as you would expect from the official release notes:

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Version 1.0 of WiiMC. It’s been a long time in the works, but we finally feel confident enough in the quality of the application to release it. However, please keep in mind that as this is a first release you will likely encounter bugs or find features missing that you may have been expecting.

We highly recommend that you download and run the IOS 202 Installer before starting WiiMC for the first time, even if you have previously installed IOS 202.

Please find your way to the Forum to discuss the project or any issues you have. If you do encounter a bug, please report it.

There’s still plenty of improvement possible, in terms of stability, performance, and features, so I would like to invite anyone who’s interesting in helping out to dive into the source code and start coding. We definitely need the help. If you have trouble compiling, visit our Forum. If you do make changes that you feel would be useful, please submit a patch.So..... don't expect perfection just yet!
I have to say from my use, which is a fair amount, iv'e never received a crash yet, and always play films/music via smb, sometimes via usb too.

i had similar issues. its just not perfect yet, make do with what you have. you want stability? go with mplayer ce, you want good looks go with WiiMC.

I watched season 5 of tim and eric and it went great. then i started to watch season 3 a day later. it froze every time i pressed home to go back to the file list (if the video ended normally it went back fine). then after restarting the wii a few times due to the freezes, it started to stutter and stop for buffering every few seconds.

it will get better, with homebrew you gotta wait and sometimes its REALLY long. luckily they fixed the NTFS bug really fast.

Dont forgot GeeXboX. It can load both .avi and .srt perfectly just fine without a problem. Its awesome. I got both WiiMC and GeeXboX for different purposes.

Exactly, no media player is perfect.
