I get “invalid link” for all Hulu and Icefilms links with WiiMC. For some reason though, AllSP links work. Is there a setting I need to change?

[sheegname]

Can someone please help me set this up?

I’m using the latest beta of VLC shares and the latest version of VLC.
I’m on Windows 7 64 bit
I’m pretty sure I’m on the latest version of WiiMC also

I can browse all the files on WiiMC but I get the error “Error loading file !” when I try to play anything

Here is the debug log: http://pastebin.com/JgJYCqrk

Anyone feel like helping a noob out? It would be much appreciated.

Did you use the auto-installer or do it manually? Is the file in your downloads you’re trying to play an actual file or a link to a file.Are none of the other sites working,or just some not working.it looks as if you only tried 2 different videos.need more info on what works and what does not,and what exactly you are trying to do,or watch.

[sheegname]

I used the auto install, I’m trying to play a video from my PC. I tried a bunch after I posted that log and still get the same error. I tried turning off windows firewall still had the error. All the configurations are correct.
I haven’t tried playing a plugin like hulu or anything.
Any other info you need?

[bobnabob]

Not knowing the type of video file or how your trying to play it,”streaming with vlc” or “Watch directly”.I can’t realy help you.The more info=the better your odds of finding the problem.Vlc,Vlc-shares,or a bad “File”.Does “The File” play in anything else.It should atleast play in the Vlc player,And yes,try your other plugins.This will help you find out if you even did the install right.The best plugins to check are,Youtube,Veetle,Hulu.
Also you would be better off to use vlc-shares dashboard and add the folder contaning your videos to the “Shared folders” section of vlc-shares.Instead of going through a long file tree each time you try an play it.

[sheegname]

The files play fine in VLC, most are MKV files. I did add the folder to VLC dashboard, and I’m pretty sure I’m trying to stream it (I hit start VLC and then go to stream and then I get the error). I will try the plugins as soon as I get home and report back.

[bobnabob]

OK,This helps alot.Since you are trying to stream and you know they play in vlc itself,Then i would try using the stream option in the veetle plugin.Also youtube,only certian videos in youtube will give you this option.If still no stream then i would suspect the beta version you are using is faulty.I also had problems with the beta3,so i reverted back to beta2.
It looks like beta2 is no longer a download option.If you would like to test the beta2 version then PM me your email and i can send you the zip file.You should just have to unzip the file and replace your vlc-shares folder with the 1 i send.Then just setup the dashboard again.
Otherwise i sugest a complete uninstall and reinstall vlc-shares/easyphp v5.4

I’m pretty sure the change from vlc-shares v5.5b2 to 5.5b3 was in the streaming code directly.This adds to me thinking it is faulty.

[sheegname]

Sent you a PM with my email,

also does it matter that I’m using VLC 2? What version are you using?

Right now I’m doing a complete uninstall and reinstall to see if that will fix it.

[sheegname]

Well reinstall didn’t fix it still getting the Error, I tried the Veetle, Youtube and Hulu Plugins and they all got the same error.

EDIT:

Well it seem that direct play works at least on youtube, so yeah I’m thinking the streaming code is broken.
