VLC 2.0 is unsupported from vlc-shares 0.5.4. If you want to use vlc 2.0 you have to move on vlc-shares 0.5.5 alpha2+ and set vlc version to 2.x in vlc-share’s configurations.

Thanks for pointing that out – it should really be made clear in the instructions!

Same problem here – and unlike you, I have exactly the same issue on MPlayer CE. It’s annoying, since mp4 is fast becoming the new standard. But I guess if the Wii’s hardware can’t handle it, there’s not much we can do.

Most AVI files downloaded from the internet aren’t DVD quality. You notice it more when it’s on a TV rather than a computer screen because it’s blown up to a bigger size.

I’m having a similar problem, although the drive I am trying to use is a simple 8GB USB flash drive with only one (FAT32) partition.

When I first installed WiiMC (v 1.1.1) it worked fine, and recognised my USB drive perfectly. However, I then decided to install the channel. At first I had some trouble – I already had System Menu 4.3 but the channel would still not install. I then realised that I needed to reinstall the Homebrew Channel so that it was running on IOS58. Once I had done that, the channel installed fine.

However, at this point my USB drive stopped being recognised by the program. I ran the USB test and received “USB Device Compatible!!!” for all three tests. I also tried using the modified version of WiiMC but still had the same problem.

I can only conclude that it is the switch to IOS58 which has caused the problem. My USB drive is definitely working, and is still recognised by other programs such as Mplayer CE. In the brief time I had successfully using WiiMC I was very impressed, and would very much like to continue using it, so any help would be much appreciated!

EDIT: Well, I’m not sure exactly what I did, but I seem to have fixed it. After trying a different (smaller) USB drive and discovering that it worked, I decided that something must have been wrong with my drive rather than with WiiMC (although the fact remains that Mplayer CE recognised the drive and WiiMC didn’t). I reformatted the drive several times, both to FAT32 and NTFS, with no success. I eventually tried using the HDDGURU Low Level Formatting Tool (http://hddguru.com/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/), followed by formatting the drive as FAT32, and it is now recognised by WiiMC. My best guess is that there was some kind of low level partition on the drive left by the manufacturer which was confusing WiiMC (although only after I updated to IOS58!), so this is something that needs to be rectified in a future release.
