i updated now my hard drive isnt showing up. what should i do???

I have a mediacom hd 250mb with 2 prtition, the partition 32-bit does not work.
while wiimc 1.0.7 and older are read both

My hdd, WD my passport 500MB is not showing in 1.0.8. Had to revert to 1.0.7.

Thank you for a great software.

Hi,

The new channel installer works well, but now I think there’s a bug in WiiMC 1.0.8. I have two partitions in my HDD, one in NTFS and the other one in FAT32; while the previous version showed both of them, the latest only shows the NTFS one. Tried loading from the channel and from the HBC, the same result.

Hey, new update and channel forwarder has fixed my previous hard drive problems! However, my ntfs partition is now not showing up. Not a problem for me as I only use it for large non-video files, but thought it would be of interest. Also, is there a reason that the forwarder channel can’t be downloaded via the Homebrew Browser? Would be helpful for my less technical Wii-owning friends.

NTFS partition isn’t showing here, either. And it is a rather irritating issue, as I store everything on that so it can work well with my computer. Blah.

Great work guys, thanks!

Guys, i love wiimc, but this update made it useless to me. My usb-hddrive can’t be found anymore [ntfs]. A fix or rollback to 1.07 is very welcome.

Sorry, found the downloads. Will reinstall 1.07.

@IrSasquatch
all my videos are on my NTFS partition argh!!! sounds like i might have some long hours of backing up and reformatting.

Im guessing your FAT32 hard drive is what is working for you IrSasquatch

Hello. With this version I cannot see my HDD. I’m using HBC and my HDD is NTFS!!

just updated to 1.0.8 but my hdd is not detected via channel or through hbc.
1.0.6 hdd detected through hbc but not via channel
1.0.7 bug fixed. hdd works ok on both access.
1.0.8 come with bug again, this time no access to hdd

version 1.0.8 returns the “Could not find a valid SD or USB device” again.

My NTFS partition no longer shows up in WiiMC with 1.08 either. I reverted back to the 1.07 from HBC and I’m back up and running.

I just bought a Wii.
I installed HBC and IOS58.
Then I installed HBC again and it loads using IOS58.
I just installed this version of WiiMC and it won’t play DVDs.
It keeps saying invalid DVD format.
My SD card is formatted as FAT(AKA FAT16) and not FAT32.
Anyone got any ideas?
I only have these 3 installed on my 4.2 system.

1.0.7 worked with videos on my NTFS partition, but froze on home button press.
1.0.8 does not find my NTFS partition at all!

Looks like Fat32 is correct for me as well so if you have larger hard drives and windows does not give you the option to format to fat32 then try this program. I formatted my hard drive to fat32 with it and worked great.

FYI Program works on Windows 7 64bit PC.

same as that.. no NTFS partition showing up

Hey nice update But my USB Western Digital 1tb (ntfs) works not when I start wiimc from Channel or HBC when WIIMC is loaded and I then (tuhe) the Usb in the wii than it will be works fine.

Can you make it so then when i start Wiimc then USB Western Digital 1tb (ntfs) works automatic?

i’ve a SeaGate HDD Drive USB 2.0, with the previews version my NTFS partitions works fine, but now with 1.0.8 my partitions are hidden every time.

@stickman
Hey man don’t reformat, there still there but are not being detected by WiiMC. Downgraded back to v1.0.7 and no problems.

Same Problem here. My NTFS HDD wouldn´t show up on WiiMC (1.0.6 works fine) IOS 58 is installed trough IOS58 installer.
Also the new forwarder channel won´t work. It allways says unable to access NAND. Version 1.02 of the channel worked fine too.

NTFS USB doesn’t work via the channel forwarder when using V1.08.
V1.08 works OK with the Homebrew channell.
Older versions (I tested V1.06) work OK with the Channel forwarder.
So, it looks like it’s something specific to V1.08.

This last update broke the NTFS recognition, the bad news is that I still have what is supoused to be the old 1.0.6 .dol, and my NTFS partition doesn’t work either…!!

Thanks Tantric, my USB HD is working fine now with v1.0.8 but I still getting the same problem and error message “Could not find a valid SD or USB device” when I load WiiMC from the WiiMC channel. I installed the channel with the new WiiMC Channel Installer v1.4, of course removing previous version first

Hello, I have tried to figure out why my movies and sounds on my usb disk weren’t being shown and the update was the reason… I’ve tried backing up the files, format the drive but nothing at all worked! The 1.0.8 doesn’t solve the problem! What should I need to do in order to have my usb disc appearing? It only shows SD card and DVD! 🙁

After upgrade to 1.0.8, my USB HDD doesn’t show on the startup screen. When I back to 1.0.7, I see my USB HDD.

Thanks Tantric your pretty fast…..im happy 1.08 now detects my drive…..like others have said though it doesnt read ntfs only fat 32 partition.its an improvement because before it didnt even detect my drive…i was also wondering are you the same tantric who does snes9xgx?i find it hard to believe cause you’d be working on many projects at once and you got impressive engineering skills and patience to be able to do this….

Stopped reading the NTFS partition of my usb hdd, went back to 1.0.7 for now =\

I reverted to 1.0.7, 1.0.6, 1.0.5 and 1.0.4 and none of them worked for me (neither via HBC nor wiimc channel)!

I can’t access to my ntfs partition too, I also tryed to update ios with pimp my wii, but it doesn’t solve the problem, so I come back to 1.0.6

And it worked with 1.0.6?

I am using hdd Western Digital 500GB and with v1.0.8 I can’t access to it (It has only one NTFS partition).
With v1.0.7 I did not have this problem. When will be released the fix ?

Using a higher value then one for the subtitle size will make the audio asynchronous over time (occured for me with xvid, divx videos and srt or ass subs)

Thank you for this wonderful app 🙂

Damn…I’d love to upgrade, but it sounds like there are some pretty major issues with all the new releases. Guess I’m sticking with 1.04 for now until a stable build comes out.

Thanks for all your hard work, WIIMC is amazing.

still saying “invalid DVD format” for me

Also lost NTSF hdd. Worked fine before updating to 1.0.8. Rolled back to previous version & hdd shows again.

mschoenfelder :still saying “invalid DVD format” for me

The same to me.

i cant get the channel installer to run…WHAT THE?!?!?!

Yep NTFS is broken in this release.

catuliwiimc :
(wii 4.1 – ios58 v6175 – hbc 1.08) menu button freeze problems fixed but not stable codedump in play avi/xvid/mp3/ogg, play max 3 or 5 minutes before code dump , sometimes occur in mp4/avc but in
avi/xvid i have downgrade to 1.04 this version is stable on mi wii

1.0.6: perfect
1.0.7: HD stops working for ~1 sec & HD is a bit loud before the video starts
1.0.8: HD didnt show up

I have to rollback to 1.0.7 because I made the ONLINE UPDATE for the 1.0.8 version and WiiMC stopos to “see” my USB FLASH DISK 2Gb SanDisk, anyway My external HDD 1TB keep working like usualy. Just the PENDRIVE stops.

I back to 1.0.7 and problem solved!

Thanks!

@kolbe
yes, with 1.0.6 and channel 1.0.2 work right

Yeah 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 seem buggy to me. HDD takes a while to load and sometimes when going through folders; ‘ can’t access usb’ messages come up. Lots of freezing and code dumps on video files too. Anyone else getting this with 1.0.7 or 1.0.8?

1.0.6 is pretty much flawless except for sometimes freezing while pressing home and mkv/mp4 files. I copied the
onlinemedia.xml’ file so I can use Youtube but can’t search.

Hopefully 1.0.8 can get up to scratch like 1.0.6 with the added features/improvements.

Sticking with 1.0.6 for now.

@Gabriele
Thanks, Gabriele! I’ve checked with these versions and worked right!

Don’t see the 2nd partition of my hdd. Can t accss to my fims.
