Hallo
I have found that a few of my video files doesn’t play with WiiMC (neither 1.0.8 or 1.0.9) via SMB. On my PC it plays fine with mplayer SVN-r29796-4.3.2. It also refuses to play via SMB with Mplayer CE on the Wii. Wii MC just pops up: “Error loading file”
To eliminate the video codecs as a culprit, I re-encoded the videos in question without sound. Then it started working!
So i re-encoded them with an mp3 audio stream of 128kbps using the following mencoder command
for f in *.avi; do mencoder -ovc copy -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128 "$f" -o "${f}_converted.avi"; done
And now it works fine.
The audio streams that WiiMC didn’t like was: an mp3 stream at 160kbps and at 112bps, both at a rate of 48000 Hz.
Anyone else have a similar problem?
