I just got MPlayer CE on my Wii and I want to stream some movies to my HDTV from my Macbook via Wii. I enabled SMB sharing on my Macbook so thats on and I share my Desktop and Downloads folder. I went to mplayer.conf or whatever and add the line on the top:
Code:
stream = smb://192.168.xx.xx/
so I put the right IP. When I go to MPlayer it say SMB Server 1-5 and each one errors me it can't connect... I never got a network connecting dialog or anything... what am I doing wrong. Thanks guys!
Thanks!!!!

Open smb.conf.

Code:
#Samba share1ÂÂ(smb1:/)
ip1=192.168.0.1
share1=films
user1=
pass1=

Ip of your computer
The name of the shared folder
Username (if needed)
Password (if needed)

For some reason certain video files wont play for me over smb. AVI files from season packs all the same release group with similar file names but sometimes mplayer just says "opening stream" then displays the background, the video never starts. Any ideas?

So with this I don't need what I did in mplayer.conf?

you set up SMB in SMB.conf. I never touched any other files and it works on the mplayer end. Now setting up the computer is something different. I also get occasional problems connecting and exiting and re-entering the program usually fixes this. I also still use an older version because i find the smb works better with version 6.01.
