I have instaled version 1.1.1 for first time. Video and audio playback function fine, but while I am not playing any video or song, the application stop and display the DSI exception error. This is my configuration:

Wii version : 3,4E. IOS58. HBC 1.0.8. WiiMC ejecuted from HBC, not as a channel. USB Fat32 HardDisk.

What could be the problem?. Sorry for my bad English. I will trie to send a TV capture.

PD : With mplayer CE I have the same problem.

Be sure your network is working fine before launch wiimc from HBC or delete line in meta.xml in wiimc folder but AHBProt will be disabled and dvd will not work.

Give us info about your samba server
Windows 7?
XP?
Linux?
NAS?

I guess that your samba server close connection by inactivity but I think that wii samba client is able to reopen the connection.
The best way is debug the network traffic installing wireshark in your samba server and show us the log when the error happen.

I agree with the idea of having a IOS “white-list”.

However, if an IOS is in the list, why not have the possibility of choosing it from WiiMC configuration?
Since I installed the WiiMC forwarder, both HBC and WiiMC work with IOS58. For choosing a diffent one I have to start HBC, run wiixplorer, choose the IOS, reboot wiixplorer, browse WiiMC, launch it… a shortcut whould be appreciated!

From the coding point of view, the only difficulty I can see is the need of starting WiiMC and read the configuration before the loading of the selected IOS.

We can’t do an iosreload because we have moved bss to mem2 and mem2 is used in iosreload.
To fix that problem I have to change linker script to move libogc static vars to a special section in mem1
I think is too much work to allow iosreload, the best way is change hbc or channel to do iosreload before launch wiimc, or make a little loader to do an iosreload then load&launch wiimc, like a forwarder

yup, tried with enable disable using the up key. It didn’t make any difference in display of the subtitles.

With mplayer ass subtitle don’t play by default, that’s why I suggested the above mentioned approach.

I don’t like to save data to devices. The only data we saved is the config and restore points because we need it and we try to minimize the save.
I don’t want to save a stream because if you get a codedump watching a film then you can corrupt your device because the file descriptor is open.

I’ve still not tried any long movies, so no word yet about the freezing problems after 30-40 minutes of playback I was having with Beta6 (gonna test that one later, The Walking Dead is about to start :P), but it seems to be working now.

Muchas Gracias.

The freeze problem maybe a hbc network issue. You have to wait that hbc sync the network before launch an application. This will be fixed in next hbc.
If you haven’t the net configured the only solution is to remove no_ios_reload line in meta.xml in wiimc folder but you will loose the dvd access, not important if you have a new wii because you can’t use dvd in new wiis.
Another solution is use the official channel to load wiimc.

De nada. 😉

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

This time, after reverting back to 1.0.9, my HDD wont appear.

What the hell is going on?

P.S: Invalid DVD Error strikes again. If Only I could rip DVD’s and just put them on my HDD.

Damn.

Go to irc channel and try beta on topic

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

Reporting back a week and a half later, and whatever you did in the beta2 is working pretty well…. I’ve had no crashes, errors, resets or anything of the sort, and the subs in all my MKVs work as intended.

There’s just a little detail if you can look into it. The font scaling has a weird behavior from one video to another and I have to tweak the font scaling option a lot because the results vary so much.

I load a video, and the subtitles look fine at 1.0 scale, but on the next video (or the same video upon reload) the font appears tiny and I have to up the subtitle scale to 3.0 to get the same font size as with the first video… and then, when it loads the next file (or the same one a third time) the font appears HUGE and I have to revert the scale back to 1.0 …. and so on.

Other than that, works like a charm.

EDIT: Just noticed there is that new beta6 around… gonna try it and see if there is any difference.

ANOTHER EDIT: Nope, same thing, the beta6 keeps working fine (and I noticed less load times when fast forwarding/rewinding) but still has that inconsistent subtitle scaling, at least in MKVs… on each video I have to re-tweak the options because they get either too big or too small.

Try this beta: http://www.mediafire.com/?lt372owadkg3nuw
Remember that the mkv sometimes has the desired size, so subs size probllem can be a mkv problem.

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

I allowed the wii to sit on the black screen for about 15 minutes when running test 1a. The app is not locked up because when I unplug the usb cable from the wii, I instantly get the failure message “Could not find a valid SD or USB device”. It is as if the error message was there all along but not brought to the foreground.

This problem is because of the new hard reset, when hardreset try to remount the device and the device is locked and the call to get the device info (IOS_Ioctl(fd, USBV5_IOCTL_GETDEVPARAMS, io_buffer, 0x20, buffer, desc_out_size);) is not in async mode, so IOS_Ioctl wait for ever.

Hello!

I’m not so sure if this is a issue with my TV (a Samsung NTSC widescreen TV), or WiiMC, but for some reason I’m getting some tearing on all the videos I watch through SMB (I’m unable to check if this also happens from USB).

The video playback is fine, it’s just this tearing issue, which of course I tried on MPC-HC for Windows and is not there.

I don’t know if this is a normal behavior or something like that, tried searching bot google and forums, but didn’t find anything related to this and WiiMC.

I tried messing with some settings on my TV, but didn’t find anything that helped on this.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks!

Fixed in the betas
