restore_points file

[Hepyro]

Hi Folks,

first of all Many thanks for WiiMC which is my favorite apps on the wii 🙂

WiiMC is totally revolutionnary for me and i watch all my video on my TV from WiiMC via a wifi connection

The restore_points file which contains the files list who have been watched is very useful. When you run WiiMC a green tilt is in front of your file as a flag reminder.

However sometimes this functionnality bugs because some files which have been watched lost the green flag.

i confirm that these files haven’t been moved from their directory, the names haven’t been changed.

Is there a limited capacity for this restore_points file ?

If yes how could i increase this capacity ?

Thanks in advance for your help and for your application.
Myseb.

#define MAX_RESTORE_POINTS 50
in mplayer.c
You have to recompile wiimc and change that value

Hi Rodries

Thank for your reply.

I’ve changed my old nickname myseb because i can’t connect me on the board with my nickname and password ? strange but i haven’t time to lose on it 🙂

I have installed DevkitPro, downloaded wiimc’s sources i have followed the post Expanded Windows Compile Guide http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=489&start=0

i’ve found mplayer.c and set #define MAX_RESTORE_POINTS 5000

but unfortunnately when i try to build wiimc i have exactly the same problem posted here http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=95&start=0

I will try today to recompile all the libs and will follow step by step the Windows Compile Guide….

See you…

Hi

i recompile the complete libs and when i try to compile wiimc i have the same error message : lmplayerwii is missing

if someone have an idea it will be helpful for me 😉

5000 ??
it’s too much
you are wasting a lot of ram & the wii hasn’t too much, you can have a performance degree or codedumps

Gosh 🙁

At the moment I haven’t tested my .dol

Will be 2000 too high ? What could be the limit of this variable ??

Told me and i would recompile my .dol

Thank for your support and your knowledge

typedef struct st_restore_points restore_points_t;

struct st_restore_points {

char filename[MAXPATHLEN];

int position;

};

1 restore point is about 1kilobyte so 1000 restore points will use about 1MegaByte
I think 1000 is a good value
mem2 is only 64MB and mem1 24MB and restore points are in mem1. A good idea is use mem2 manager to move restore points to mem2 because mem1 is faster and it’s good for mplayer decoding

rodries: does this mean you will be moving restore points to mem2 and changing the value to 1000 in a future SVN?

[rodries]

No and no. 50 restore points is plenty.

Good Evening Rodries,

i read that in mplayer.c :

int i;

char tmppath[MAXPATHLEN];

char *buff = mem2_malloc(MAX_RESTORE_POINTS*1024 + 1024,OTHER_AREA);

buff[0] = 0;

Does it means that restore_points is already in mem2 ?
Is it also possible to allocate 512 bytes instead of 1024 bytes ?

No, this is the buffer to read the file.
If MAX_RESTORE_POINTS is too big you will get an error because we use OTHER_AREA to load the file, and OTHER_AREA is 3MB size (in wiimc.cpp)
Anyway I don’t like that code so I’ll change it later
