It sounds like there is a problem with WiiMC 1.0.5 & 1.0.6 and Samba Servers on Linux boxes. I’m running Debian on an Apple G4. WiiMC 1.0.4 runs AVI movies flawlessly. I updated WiiMC to 1.0.5 and I got a blank listing. I reverted back to WiiMC 1.0.4 and all was well again. I then updated WiiMC to 1.0.6, Samba Tree directory did not show up. Reverted back to WiiMC 1.0.4 and all was well again.
