In order to play all the types of files it does, WiiMC uses the Mplayer library (a very popular and supported code base for playing media files). Mplayer has support for ISOs, which works on other platforms, but seems to be not working on the Wii (as used by WiiMC).

VLC is a completely different entity, and not really compatible for this application, especially along with Mplayer. If what you want is to play ISOs on your Wii, you might try Mplayer-CE, which also uses the Mplayer library to play ISOs, but may actually work. If you just want to play ISOs on your TV and nothing else works, what you suggested may be the optimal solution.

I have been having a similar (if not identical) problem.

Whenever I load an ISO off of a USB HDD, it will skip all the warning menus, etc., then play right through all the menus, then play the first title. If you look at the length of the video while playing, it shows the length of all titles combined, but if you try to go past the length of the first title, it will just kick you out and back to WiiMC. If you try to resume, it will act just like playing it for the first time.

I have a suspicion this might be some odd interaction between the Wii platform and the mplayer version in WiiMC (which is what actually does the playing). I was actually intending on taking a look at the code, etc. but I draw the line at debugging Mplayer just to get this feature to work… I would certainly like to hear if someone more experienced with programming on the Wii or with this project is be able to provide some insight.

Edit: The problem still persists in 1.0.4
