Version 1.1.4 Released
March 4th, 2011
Version 1.1.4 has been released to fix some potential crashes and re-enable YouTube support. There’s also some changes under the hood and a couple new settings added. Full changelog:
- Synced to MPlayer r32994
- Fixed crash in Online Media area
- Fixed crashes on ogg and mp4 files
- Fixed YouTube support
- Added Inactivity Shutdown setting
- Added separate settings to change backward/forward skip
- Improved memory management
- Other minor changes
Thanks for the update. There is still a crash that is similar to the one in 1.1.3 where if your choose to go up a level on Online Media, WiiMC crashes and gets a code dump.
The only way to move up without crashing is pressing the B button to help navigate.

I can’t reproduce this, and without a proper bug report (ie: with a screenshot) I can’t debug it either.
@Tantric
im glad you have fixed youtube, but what if i want youtube on the other version? i have wiimc plus, so i do i get youtube to work on that?
Hi,
I have attached the error i am getting 10 seconds after opening WiiMC. Please note that i am not doing anything after opening the program. Here is the screenshot that appears form me in 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 :

The only working version is 1.1.2 and my IOS is 61.
Hope it helps.
@simistef
ughh, no stack dump info, so imposible to debug.
do you have a usb device attached?
do you have network settings configured properly?
are you launching from channel or HBC ?
have you wait to get network synced in HBC before launch wiimc?
@simistef
That error is almost certainly either from an attached USB device, or not having net configured and launching from HBC.
@rodries
1. yes, i have attached an usb disk
2. network settings are ok
3. launching from HBC
After detaching the USB device it worked fine. Unfortunately that is not a solution for me as i have the need for adaptors. So i guess i will go back to the old good 1.1.2
@simistef
Please, contact me privately (rodries at wiimc.org) to send you a special usb test program
The update message didnt show! I have to manually download?
Thanks
@simistef
I had the same problem with an older version. (Don’t know if the bug still exists.)
The solution is that you need to remove the restore_points file. When done, you shouldn’t have any problems no more.
Where is the forwarder download?
@Tom
On the downloads page.
Thanks for the info Tantric. Your newest 1.1.4 package might have fixed the problem.
A quick question since I haven’t read up on the new changes: After about 5 minutes or so of inactivity, my system just reboots. I thought it was due to the Inactivity Shutdown setting, but that is set to 2 hours.
Is there something possibly going on with the screen saver setting? Again, this is the first time happening so I’m assuming it’s something new with this update that I may have to change or disable.
@jservs7
Looks like I set the Inactivity Shutdown to 2 minutes instead of 2 hours 🙁
The good news is you can turn off this feature.
@Tantric: Did you change something on the Update Routine in 1.1.3? I have to manually download the 1.1.4 Update.
Hi, great program! I have a question or better a request, as I’m using it for reproduce my musical videos from the pc, can you add a random option to the videos? thanks in advance.
Thanks for the youtube fix!
Subtitles not found!!!!!!
Awesome! One small thing i noticed is that the scroll bar on the right hand side is missing when in wiimc settings.
Hey, I just wanted to say that I love WiiMC! Thanks for all your hard work! It is greatly appreciated! This program only gets better and better.
@jaybot
That’s by design.
Hi and thank you for your new release.
Still sometimes I have problems to view a video, I begin see it and in the middle suddenly crashed. In the 1.1.3 version almost every time but now only sometimes (mp4 files)
I would like back the option of 5 seconds to backward/forward skip as i use it primarily to skip back when I didn’t quite hear what someone said or forward skipping opening credits. 10 seconds is too long especially for just hearing one sentence. Not a big problem but I would appreciate it. Can you also make the program wait longer for initializing the usb hdd as my old one takes more time to spin up. I can get pass that by plugging it in at the Wii menu, but it would work as well if you just gave it a little more time. Thanks for great program.
@Bran
Yeah, I Miss The 5 Second Option Too.
Good evening. I must say that this is an absolutely wonderful program! My Wii is quite messed up. It only loads homebrew. Channels black screen on me. However, the Homebrew Channel works fine, and thanks to WiiMC I’m able to watch YouTube videos on my Wii! I love this program. You’ve really done some fine work on it!
I’ve had a couple problem though. I don’t know if it’s operator error, or a glitch or bug. You see, I had plugged in my PSP memory stick to listen to music earlier today, and tried to set a directory full of 100 + Songs as a playlist. I was in the music tab while doing this. WiiMC crashed when I hit the play button. Also the Checkmark icon never showed on the folder I tried to add as playlist. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Figuring it was my own mistake, I tried setting entire music directory a playlist, then skipped to the songs I wanted to hear. About 1 and a half songs would play and then WiiMC would crash and reset back to the Homebrew Channel. I didn’t get any debug screen, just a clean reset back to HBC. Is this normal? Is it a known bug? Or am I doing something dreadfully wrong? Memory overload? Please help. Thanks.
i just downloaded new version last night, and when playing video files from usb hard drive, it just exits out of the movie after 10 minutes, very frustrating ….any ideas on this?
Sometimes decoding worse than old 1.1.1, and still crash even with USB-HDD
decode WMV bad.
@jeremy
Sort of similar to the music problem right? That’s about the time length before the program crashed on me.
Hello there, first of all thank you for wiimc, I am using my wii for listening to music and to see my favorite (downloaded) series as much as for playing.
Usually i connect wiimc to my PC via SMB connection (wireless network) but since last update my wii is reseting after like 3 minutes of inactivity
i do access using wiimc channel
sleep timer is off
screensaver is 5 min
inactivity shutdown is 2 hours
any tips?

@Labatryth Lyndynhyra
I would suggest rehacking your wii using Modmii. Use the wizard option. Uninstall your channels and programs and do a clean install on them.
@Bran
Um, right. About that. I kinda upgraded to 4.3u.
@Labatryth Lyndynhyra
As you can still get to the homebrew channel you won’t even need the game exploits. As this is WiiMC version discussion I won’t go in to details, but check this out and the 4.3u section. http://gbatemp.net/t207126-modmii-for-windows ask further instructions there if you need to.
Hi,
since I’ve updated to the new version, I have a strange problem.
Suddenly, if I hear MP3-files, WIIMC shuts down and restart my WII (goes back to the WII menu). I have set the inactivity to “off”.
With the older version 1.1.3, I havent this problem.
I use FW 4.2E with updated IOS etc.
I start WIIMC always via channel.
thx.
ulrich
By the way: Great programm. I love it.
@bokassa
Yes, turn off Inactivity Shutdown. It’s broken.
@Labatryth Lyndynhyra
You can still do it as you can use homebrew. If you don’t have a nand backup then search Modmii for Windows and you will find your answer for 4.3u and get the Wii back in shape.
Sorry for double post. Please remove
I want to give a huge thanks to Tantric. I had a very annoying bug starting with 1.13. I submitted a bug and it was fixed within a day or two. I’ve got 1.14 now and everything is working great! Thank you!
It still says “error loading file” when trying to run an mms stream.
Hi,
Since last update, WiiMC shutdown after 5min music played .. in the middle of a song, without any reason.
I play my music from a samba place, but that work fine until that update.
Hope that will help you.
The same thing happen to me last night when I was just leastening some music from my stream disk and then after 10 minutes the WiiMC crashed. Today I’ll reinstall last version, I know that you tube doesn’t work with 1.1.3 but I prefer access without any problems to my music and videos.@jeremy
i swear its a screensaver issue.
whenever screensaver comes on while listenign to music reboots.
try to load from HBC LSI error.\
Ever since last update.
I changed screensaver to 60 minutes and it seems stable for past 15 minutes which is much longer then before.
@damien
Turn off the Inactivity Shutdown feature.
Simply writing to thank you for all the hard work you’ve put into this program. Just discovered the SMB feature for the first time, and it works beautifully. The ability to simply stream all my music/films from my iMac onto the livingroom tv has stopped endless trips up and down stairs brandishing an SD card, and works flawlessly every time for me. If possible, it would be great to see a way of browsing music folders more similar to that of a library such as iTunes/Winamp, rather than the current folder hierarchy – but that’s utterly trivial considering how fantastic this already is. Seriously, you’ve crafted something beautiful AND functional – and as a pretentious mac fanboy, I can’t thank you enough!
Hi, aside from the screen saver issue that I encounter too, there is another one. From time to time all my SMB setting, preferences and checks for already played videos are lost so I have to make them all over again. :/
@Bran
Does this mean my channels and disc games will load again?
@Bran
Thanks man. Yeah I won’t spam this topic with unwanted stuff. Thanks again.
This is a very nice program. I’ve been using it for the first time and i would say I am really impressed. Unfortunately some of the video files does not work for me (ex: xvid, hd, mkv)
