Don’t mess around. Go back and follow the instructions precisely and use vlc 1.1. It works fine.
Be sure to change the right lines in the config file.

I have never had an Xvid go oout of sync. It is happening to me on AVC codecs over 640 wide or more than 500kbps but thats probably a WII limitation. Its also strange that it takes 20 minutes to happen. Is it all XVIDs or just one specific one? I also note that you have indicated your XVID has AC3 audio, whereas most XVIDs use MP3, so is it happening on only on AC3 XVIDs?

I don’t know what you mean by “In the original released version of WiiMC you can sometimes bypass this behaviour if you load a different video, but in your patched release the bug remains present however.”

The streaking is unique to certain videos. It has nothing to do with loading any other videos. Those videos with the problem always play with streaks. Those without the “problem” always play fine, regardless of whether they are played as “videos” or “on-line-media”.

In your example WIIMC loads the 320×198 H263 video which is a different video from the 582×360 video that the enhanced patch uses. The 320 version plays fine on the PC and WIIMC, the 582 version displays the red streak on WIIMC but not on the PC, and illustrate the bug I have reported.

The WIIMC picture is not using the whole screen. Use the Video options to stretch the width to fill the screen then those non WIIMC white marks will go away.

It’s real easy to do using the “Subrip” application. The original VOBsub 2.33 also had a Subresync utility that would do it.

flash2 indicated that it was working with other vids so perhaps he can post one that does work.

I’ve never had this problem. Mine is running right now and after 20 minutes its still going strong. That’s with the latest SVN 495. Perhaps you are hitting a bad(too big) picture or getting a network dropout.

Glad its working for you now. The color bars should be the same in both versions since they are both using the same version of the player. If you can give me a reference of a youtube video that plays differently I will check it. In my testing, I also download the youtube video’s that play with bars and when I play them as WIIMC videos they also have the bars so there is something about those vids that cause this problem with the WIIMC player.

Attached is the Enhancement patch for SVN495.

If your SMB is unstable, look at your network and WII channel interference from other wireless devices. Downgrading versions will not fix anything in fact 1.0.9 has network improvements over previous versions. On homebrew make sure the network icon in the lower right corner has stopped blinking before you start WIIMC, otherwise you may hang on network initialization. I have zero SMB stability problems.

I downloaded this video file and it turns out it has 2 VC1 video streams… the 384 wide you referenced and a higher quality 640 wide stream. I don’t know what WIIMC will try and do with this but WIIMC opened the 640 stream and the player failed when I opened the mms under onlinemedia, and it played the 640 stream using the downloaded video.
This is all with the latest SVN and there have been many changes since to the official releases which may be why you got some playing.

I have very little knowledge in this area but all the iconv stuff that is missing is in C:WIIMClibslibiconv so I would guess it did not make and make install correctly. The libs with the red icons are normal mine are the same.

Are you sure you correctly entered ./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc”
–libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib” –disable-shared
??

Perhaps someone else can comment.

You need to post this as a bug so it will get addressed. Use Development/Tracker Tab above. If you do I will post samples for testing from the files you uploaded.

The subs do not appear for me either but I have no idea why.
Your other option is to convert them to .srt format.

There are no precise instructions for libogc, just what those posters said…download it from sourceforge to c:libogc,
open your Msys window and enter cd /c/libgc, then make, then make install, then copy the c;libogcinclude and lib subdirectories into your c:devkitprolibogc directory wher they will update the existing ones. Then you can compile wiimc.

Simply put, wiimc comes out with official releases and it is not intended as a repository for interin SVN compiles or spin-offs, nor do I want to support a spin-off with official releases. They provide SVN’s and solicit patches so both they and others can benefit from the latest mods and enhancements, and this is what I provide, but none are officially supported, and you must compile them yourself. That’s why my conditions, require you to test any problems against the last official release before reporting them as WIIMC bugs.

Once you do it once it is a piece of cake.

[cadbusca]

You should be able to easily compile the latest SVN using the instructions in the Enhanced Windows Compile Guide, but you must now also Make and Make Install the latest libogc SVN to replace that in devKitPro, since this is now needed by WIIMC. Others have appended this process to that thread, and it will get rid of that error.

My enhancements do not address any errors so just the SVN compile should fix your problem.

I have reported the color bar bug and provided H263 and AVC sample vids, so hopefully a future SVN will fix that too.
