Is the wii able to do 10/100 or just 10? I guess more so this would be a matter of the USB ports supporting USB2.0 but as far as I know we only are able to get one or the other running at 2.0 and I use a HD on that one.

Any change WiiMC will allow Dual 2.0 USB Channels or is this just a cracked pipe dream of mine.

I asked about this a long while back and I think the answer is pretty much no.

Really, no one thinks this is a good idea?

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.

Yea, that is what I did to fix it for the time being, but why is it the only time I see it is with wide-screen videos? If I play a normal 4:3 video it doesn’t show up.

Thanks for the suggestions, and those user patches look sweet might have to look into those.

Your Idea seems pretty good about keeping a file name stored, but the only problem I can see is that’s going to require a re-scan of the SMB you have set up to find the same file, and especially if you, in moving your files, rename it to something else, it probably would fail in the re-scan thus leaving you where you were before.

I would think the restore points are just compared to the current directory contents and if it matches then bam you get a check mark. I agree, renaming the file would cause an issue, but that is only expected (it’s not like this is stored as meta data on the file.)

In my case I have all my media on a server that auto downloads and places files where they go. This includes a new today, new yesterday, new this week, new last week, etc.; The current schema does not work well as it needs to match the entire path, but if it was just matching the file name it should work like a charm.

Really, no replies? I guess no one else thinks this is useful.

Riiiight, well assuming you will not be re-encoding the video you are ripping you will be looking at extremely large files for just a movie. Now if you were thinking to encode it to divx or what not then you might want to calculate the amount of time it would take to do such an action on a single core sub 1Ghz processor.

The only way this would be usefull is if you just had an ungodly amount of HD space that you just wanted to use. Even in my case with an external 750GB drive for just media it is tight!

Works perfectly fine form me and I am running 1.0.4. I know this doesn’t help your situation but just wanted to let ya know it is not a release issue.

Just bumping this to hear back from Tantric on how to reset the resumable flag on videos.

As mentioned, the checkmark to denote it is resumable does not go away when you finish playing the file. Only way that I have found to get rid of the check is to rewind the video all the way to the beginning or to remove the entry in the resumable DB file.

I was talking about changes I’ve made for the next release, that won’t work yet.

Ahh bummer, I just reread it and caught that. Is the only option I have for resetting the files that are being listed as paused? As I mentioned, even if I watch the remainder of the show it still keeps that checkmark and resumes at the previous restore point.

[Matoking]

Ok, I’m gonna test that out. When you resume a show and finish watching it, does it not update the resume point to show it has been watched? I ask as the files I have paused always resume from the last restore point. I guess I could try to pause inside that 2mins at the end and see if it picks up from the beginning.

I really dont care about marking the currently paused videos, but it would be a pain to have the same icon as a finished movie as you would not be able to tell if you just watched it or were in the middle of it.

Yeah, it’s supposed to let you know you’ve watched it, so it isn’t supposed to go away.

Hey Tantric, thanks for the reply. Ok I absolutely love the idea of the checkmark showing what has been watched, but in my case I watch a series of shows and the only one that gets a checkmark (if any) is the last one I was watching and paused.

Now I have two answers about what the checkmark means. Pista said it denotes a file that can be resumed, in which case if I finish watching the show it should clear out the checkmark and the entry in the restore points file (Currently neither of those happen). And you are saying it is to denote a file that has been watched, which does not happen for me either.

Three things come to mind, firstly:
I use the autoplay next video, could it be there is a problem with using that and having the check mark applied to videos that are watched all the way through?

Secondly:
Why do the restore points not get removed or reset to 0 when you finish watching a show? If I pause a video I am forever doomed to pick it back up from its last paused location, unless I manually remove/modify the entry in the restore points file.

Thirdly:
Is it possible to get two different symbols for a watched/finished show and a watched/but not finished show? Maybe keep the check mark for watched files and put a yellow pause symbol for files that can be resumed.

If the file has a restore point active (enabled resume button),
on the right of the filename you can see the icon.

Hey thanks for the reply, I just figured it out last night. I have noticed that the check mark never seems to go away, I have to delete the restore point file to get them to go away. Is there something that can be done to mark the file as completely watched? I tried opening the video again and then skipping to a minute or so before the end and letting it play out, but the check mark is still there even after I reload the app or reboot the wii.

any ideas?

[Matoking]

Ok I just finished watching a couple shows over SMB and there is not a check mark any where to be found. Can someone shed a little light on this?

Well, when you play a file, e.g. a video it will save where you stopped. If this entry is created it will have a checkmark next to the video’s name (or song or whatever) so you will recognize that you have already started watching it (or watched it completly). This comes in handy when you have a list with many videos and you want to watch all of them in a row, like a TV series for example.

That is what I thought it meant, but I don’t see any check marks. I’ll play with it some more tomorrow as I’m catching up on Doctor Who. Is the check mark supposed to be to the left of the file name?
