- Many other minor fixes and improvements
hey,
you be awsome π dvd menu player (folder play) for ntfs would be nice…
THX for great release!!
Great to see a new update for XMas π Thanks for the fixes, now here are a few things I have noticed with the release and a few options that I would like to see:
Problems:
1) Playing DVDs (2 I tried so far) the audio seems to start off-sync, but if I just rewind it a bit (pressed the left arrow button once during play) it seems to go back in sync.
2) Major freezing when starting to play certain MP4 video files. The controls seemed to be stuck and took me a while to get out.
3) The DVD pointer doesn’t seem to align with the Wii hand pointer finger. (Example: One menu item I selected only worked when using the bottom left of the hand pointer)
Features Request:
1) Organize the SMB shortcuts in alphabetical order.
2) Add Auto-Play next video for online media ONLY!
3) Getting back to quickly fast forward or rewind Navi-X files. (Not sure if this is possible again, but I do miss this)
Again, thanks for all your great work and have a great holiday. π
Wonderfull! It’s the first thing i’m going to do when i get home! Thanx!
nice work!
Hi just tried 1.1.1 and the 1.6 channel installer NFTS usb doesnt work for me tried two different ones and they didnt show up at all, they were working on the one that rodries sent me to test a good while ago but with this current version (1.1.1) and channel (1.6)
doesnt appear the usb device.
Is there any improvement getting xmbc/navi-x on the wii-mc better than it is for the moment? Do you think a link to media online content and covers for dvd is possible ?
Thanks for the new release. Just a little bug report π – I had a lockup when back-seeking an avi playing from SD, however I haven’t been able to reproduce it. Hope you guys have a good Christmas.
Thanks a million Tantric and jhb50 for this great release just before Christmas!! It’s truly a wonderful gift to all of the community!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS!! ^_^
I just installed the new version and was eager to try the new “Added ISO/IFO DVD playback, with DVD menu support” feature but it only crashes wiimc.
Thanks Tantric and crew, no promblems with my pictures crashing the program now but I’m still waiting for the ability to save my playlist. Bravo for all of your effort!
DVD issues, subtitles does not work!!
Great work :). How can I change the language of a video? In last releases you could change it with pressing down.
installed 1.1.1 and now it won’t recognize my usb drive. I had no issue with this on 1.1.0. Otherwise it’s working wonderfully.
awesome, thanks for your great work!!!
wiimc + wiiflow = heaven!! ^_^
Man been waiting ages for this update to see if it would fix the usb issue but sadly no still not being picked up π i love this app sooooo much and really wanna get back to useing it currently useing LACIE Minimus 1TB USB.
Still doesn’t wait for my 750gb Lacie to load. It used to many, many releases ago. I have to either first open wii and then plugin (it has an external powersource) the usb drive, wait it to load and then start WiiMC or open a usb loader first, go back to menu and then start WiiMC. It works like that. Used to work straight though already back in the Mplayer CE days.
Another thing i would really appreciate is an option of When, while browsing youtube.
Great job anyway, this is what I most use Wii for these days π
thanks a lot tantric…this is the 2nd reason i use my wii next to the games…its christmas everytime you release a new version….one thing though maybe its just me….before when it played a mp4 video with 2 audio tracks i could press down and it would play or pick between the tracks..now it doesnt do it….ill try different controls…great work all of you who helped
Awesome! Just tried it and I’m so happy that DVD menu navigation finally got fixed! Works like a charm now π
ISO DVD Playback with full menus – Thanks a million you rock!! π
Thanx \^^/
Features Request:
1) Activating Buttons(OK, Abbrechen) in Information-Windows with only the cursor of the Wii-Remote without pointing with the “Hand”Cursor.
“Remote-Bar-Free” Usage of the WiiMC
subtitles seem to become bigger whenever they want, I suppose its because of the auto scaling, how can I deactivate this function?
Shoutcast radio streams no longer work. Selecting them in the menu gives an “error loading file” message, or freezes the program forcing a hard reboot of the console.
It would be great if you give the possibility to remove the green crosses that appears when you see a video.. or to use them to indicate the videos that you can resume..
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH, I’M ITALIAN!
Hi,
because my SDCard reader is out of order, I have to install WiiMC on my USB HDD (FAT32) but with this new version I’ve got at startup
> Error
> Could not find a valid SD or USB device – one is required for normal operation
When I click Ok -> black screen, not more response.
WiiMC Channel Installer 1.6 does not detect it too.
I’ve tried from an update and from a clean install.
Thank for all your work !!!
this will likely be my best christmas present. lols. cheers all! can’t wait for john digweed in los angeles, NYE!
Just updated yesterday, but had to downgrade.
With this new version I’m unable to play the .avi files on my USB HDD. It crashes giving me an “Exception (Alignment) occured!” with a lot of numbers and so.
@DyCer
I get the same Alignment Exception Dump. When playing regular sub-DVD resolution Xvid AVIs that played fine on the previous WiiMC v1.0.7 that I was using I now get Alignment exception dumps thrown. This happens with at least half of the videos in my collection. I have made a forum post on the error here: “http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1011”.
@countertenor
+1
@demmet
2nd that! Wiimc is great and I’m considering using Wiimc rather than my Popcorn Hour but I would just miss the option of browsing my movies by covers and movie details. With a Wiiflow style browsing that would be way superior to my current setup.
Had to downgrade back to 1.1.0. Had crashes for every show I played with in 3 minutes over a wireless network using SMB share.
1.1.0 Rocks!!!!
Thanks for Update π
ok, i just updated to the new mc, now my harddrive is gone. all i get is dvd or sd option. befor today, my kids were watching the grinch, woke up to put santa claus on. ran update,nothing know.. i have had the same wd,250 my book. an always used it from day one never any problems.. now after thinking, my harddrive messed up,an reformting still nothing…. both wii an wd are 3yrs old..
Anyone tried adding mms:// type online media to onlinemedia.xml?…I want to add a stream TV and the link works…but WIIMC throws an error loooong time after…I configured memory usage at 50% (The most I can), but it didnΒ΄t work…any idea?
USB PROBLEMS
===========
People with usb problems please test this program to debug the problem, the program will generate a log using 3 methods (A,1,2) please unplug&plug and test another method to test all methods
http://www.wiimc.org/files/usb_test.dol
On exit the application will generate a log in sd:/log_usb.txt
Please send logs to [email protected]
I’ll reply to people with a special wiimc version based on the logs to check if the problem is fixed.
EDIT:
New usb test app, check: http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1033
Hi!
I have a problem with subtitles.
The WIIMC can’t find the subtitle fonts.
Where can I download the subtitle fonts, or how can i install the necessaries?
Thank for the help!
Sound of some (divx) videos is terrible with the latest version. I went back to the previous version and now the sound is normal again.
Thanks for the update. My HDD is now showing up in WiiMC.
Sounds like the wait time for usb to be discovered fixed my problem (most “green” drives tends to spin down whenever they want to)
However it seems to work only when launched through HBC and not when using the channel (channel updated and using IOS58 for HBC)
Good work anyway.
Agree with Podt, sound on divx files is terrible, last version was perfect, had to downgrade, (but keep getting the anoying new version available message, an option to prevent auto update would be great)
@Dazzla
I am also getting this error. COnsidering downgrading to get my radio back! π
Really good software! thanks!
Same here since yesterday. Please fix this soon!
same problem as above, pressing up and down on wiimote dpad used to change language of subtitles and audio, now does nothing. cannot change language at all, since dvd menu is wonky.
Worked fine for the first time. Watched a full movie from SMB share. After few hours tried to launch app and I don’t see USB drive and it kept crashing every time both from SD and HDD.
I had the same problem with lacie network space 2 1TB π
I try the test_dol and send the log.
What the crap, my 44.1KHz 24bit FLACs are cutting out ~30 seconds in when playing from an SD card. They were just fine back on 1.1.0
@NM64
Double what the crap. Somehow, someway, my FLACs pretty much got murdered. Their filesize shows that a good random chunk of data is missing from each – some minor, some major.
Hi,
thanx for update, I really found a lot of improvements over the previous version
OHH THX!!! thats very the best! ISO Supported π very very very good
Thx!^^
Hi, I’d like to know if you could enable entering a name in the IP section of the SMB Share config.
The reason for this is that my ip keeps switching between wired and wireless (with my laptop) and that allowing lan searching with computer name instead of IP would work great and solve any issue related to ip changing when you’re on a network.
Thanks a lot for the great software!
There’s nothing plugged on my tv other than the wii, and WiiMC runs pretty much everything I watch!
Hi, is it possible to add a subtitle autoscaling option (on/off) ?
I didnt like the autoscaling. I downgraded to 1.1.0. On 1.1.1, my subtitles dont respect the size i previously config. Each movie release has a resolution and the subtitles keep changing the size (too big for the screen or too small). I like the 3.5 size.
Thanks!
