I used WiiMC up until the video files I was getting wouldn’t play anymore because most of them are HD. I even bought a second Wii just to use with WiiMC. I used it for years, now I use a $35 Amazon Fire TV stick with Kodi installed.

I think this is going to works fine, also improved performance

Success 😛
Now working with very large files on any method that I use, thanks a lot! 😆

Finally I found it out.

Unfortunately on Win 7 to make a connection you account HAVE TO BE UNDER PASSWORD PROTECTION !!!

If you have your account password free, then you can connect.

I’m not sure but I think that Win7 have an option that doesn’t allow you to access folders via network without password. 99% that is the issue here. Probably you can deactivate that option and work the smb without password.

Nonsense. Go back and read the old SMB posts. For W7 just set “everyone” under both “sharing” and “security” and on your PC root drive only share subdirectories. USB drives can share root. No passwords required.

Yeah, I had the very same problem you had NastyCloud, but with another W7 system as a client of my other W7 system, but I decided to give up and protect everything so that it gets “safer” and I don’t remember to have tried what jhb50 said above but, as I said before, I decided to protect everything. 😆

Another issue that I had is that I generally use relative long passwords (about 19 alpha-numeric) and wiimc password field didnt allow that and I had to change some of them exclusively because of wiimc, I have even suggested them to increase the SMB password field a little bit but Tantric denied it 😕
Anyways, glad your problem was solved 🙂

If you are able to watch youtube on Wiimc then it means that your Wii’s internet connection is set up correctly, so now comes the easiest part… You have to share your folder(s) on Windows and manage its permissions (define which users can access it, write on it, read it). After that, go on Wiimc’s Settings – Network and “Add SMB Share”.

Type in a “Display Name” which is a simple label that appears at Wiimc menus (can be any that you want, it is just a mere nickname for the folder).

Then, type your PC’s IP address. Note that your IP cannot be dynamic, you must assign it manually or get your router’s DHCP server to give it a static lease, or else you will need to change it every time in that interface.

After that, type the “Share Name”. This one is the nickname of the shared folder given by Windows. You must have set it on Windows while enabling the sharing (Generally is the real folder’s name).

And finally, Username and password. Simply type the username and password of the Windows account which you gave permission to access the folder remotely.

Hope it helped 😉

Nice work rodries and team, It really played the MPEG2 video file of 7,82GB that has 02:15:00 of length. But it only showed the correct length via USB (NTFS), not via SMB.

Please don’t forget to do the same correction when loading from SMB and please do launch a new version soon 😉

Just hope they launch soon the new wiimc version with the u64 variable correction of file size in order to be able to play files larger than 4GB 😕

Can you explain when do you have the 4GB problem?
where have you heard the “u64 variable correction” ? link?
Have you tested latest beta on this thread?

I have this problem when I try to play videos larger than 4GB either on a USB HDD in NTFS or via SMB (No FAT32 system is used at all). In fact, it plays the video but shows a wrong length and only play until this length, so you can only watch a part of the video.
I knew about that possible solution in the issue that I reported at the tracker: http://www.wiimc.org/tracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=294
Tantric said that the variable that stores the filesize is a 32bit integer and should be a 64bit integer in order to store the filesize number correctly.

And no, I didn’t compile the latest sources of Wiimc to test this issue, the latest version that I tested was Wiimc 1.1.1, that is why I am hoping you to launch the new version soon… 😉
