I've got it set up and working good, I was just wondering about the progress of samba root support. Its streaming fine as long as the videos are in a folder on the DVD.Quote:

Now, I'm vey busy at work and I can spend time figuring how to compile, I'll try to send a message to Chris to get a manual how to compile mplayer, but monday. I haven't internet at home.
how do you add the auto detection, so it either returns to launcher or restart wii?
what's the code?
Fat32 file size limit is 4GB. So are we limited to the 4GB size for video playback? For example I have a 8gb thumb drive but I can't put HD .mkv files on it because of the file size limit.
As well DL dvd's are not recognized as I am aware of so again we are limited to 4.7gb on a dvd.
I hope I am talking out of my ass here and someone can point me in the right direction. solutions?
BTW I love this app. its given my wii a new lease on life. Keep up the good work.
You can see at the end of main functionQuote:

I think is a libdi limitation, not sure if is a dvdx limitation, I only test single layer.Quote:

Hi guys,
I've been experimenting with the wrapper code of mplayerwii and after adding some stuff that didn't work, I've removed everything and brought the makefile and template.c back to their original states. Recompiling doesn't work and even if I download the original source files and replace everything with the original ones I still get the following error:
gx_supp.c
lwiso9660_devoptab.c
smb_devoptab.c
template.c
linking ... mplayerwii-read-only.elf
/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.3/../../../../powerpc-gekko/lib/crtmain.o: In function `__crtmain':
/Users/Wintermute/projects/devkitpro/buildscripts/newlib-1.16.0/libgloss/rs6000/crtmain.c:18: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/Users/catwoe/mplayerwii-read-only/mplayerwii-read-only.elf] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2
I've been trying to find out what could be wrong but as it would be something with the makefile and the order of the libraries, everything is in place according to the order in the original Makefile of mplayerwii. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I've been using mplayer today and playing with the samba shares trying to read my NAS which isnt working and i dont know why, the NAS must have some security which i cant get round right now but thats my problem as i can stream it fine from a vista pc.
Issue i'm having is regarding the actual movie compatibility, I used to use mplayer before i got geebox basically cos it has a nicer interface but then ive come back to mplayer cos of the samba support which i cant do with geexbox as my usb lan doesnt seem to work to well.
anyway, the latest mplayer version doesn't want to play any of the movies anymore, the video is just a mess, bad codecs or something but when i reverted back to V6 everything plays ok again,
any ideas on whats happened?
also just a quick note for vista users. i tried using mplayer wii to access some shares i had created and used the samba share with username and password which i knew was right but it still didn't work, guess the vista laptop not authorizing for some reason but then i went into the network and sharing center (control panel>Network and internet>network and sharing center) and in there you have a number of sharing and discovery options.
I turned off password protected sharing and it all works fine, only do this if you understand what you are doing, you are opening up your shared folders to anyone on your LAN and potentially anyone in world if you have any malware/virus installed.
Hello,
I just got mplayer-wii and the "patch" for smb, but i get some problem to use it.
I add smb://192.168.0.3/share/, when i select it, it say "initializing network" then "network initialised" and come back to the home of mplayer-wii. If i select a second time the smb share, mplayer-wii do nothing, just go back to the initial option
When i take a look on my box, i have no log from the IP of my wii.
BTW the network is ok, i can access to the default ronwarez streaming.
is there a way to get some log from mplayer-wii ?
thx in advance.
[edit]i didnt test it, but it work well with a share on windows computer ... that a shame :/[/edit]
[edit2]i test on another computer, and it crash.
Then i test on the first computer with ethernet, and it is very "hard" to get the sync at the begginning. Is it a problem of the nintendo wifi ?
Ethernet is it better ?[/edit]
NAS probably is not working because use NTLM instead LM.
I've compiled a new version of mplayerwii using tantric modification on lintinysmb to add ntlm and I've done some modification in network_wii.c to increase heap size to increase samba buffer.
So new version with better speed and NTLM in samba.

No source because the modifications are in libogc.
Only a few modificiations on smb_devoptab based on libogc changes.
Could you perhaps update the google code svn with the new compiled libogc you are using, instead of the current old one there? I would like to make some changes in mplayerwii but also add your modifications.
still not working on the NAS, no ideas why, its set up for everyone for full access but wont let me in with or without a pwd from the wii. its a bit wierd! geexbox picks it up fine but thats picking them up by checking the workgroup as im not putting in the share names for that.Quote:

Dunno if it "normal".
And i cool feature would to be able to seek faster in video.
Ok, I'll do it tomorrowQuote:

samba is about 660kb/s when works fine
usb is about 470kb/s
but dvd is 3500kb/s
and sd is 5000kb/s
so the same film in dvd or sd begins sooner
mplayer need to read info from file to get rigth codec so is imposible improve starting.
I'm trying compile mplayer myself, but is hard.Quote:

remember this mplayer samba can not access root samba, only shared folders, and don't forget '/' at the end.
I finally got around to testing this version and it's actually more buggy than the last. Playing a file, the initial green text on the screen scrolls down the rather than staying static like normal, and when the files (both music and video) start playing, they cut out and freeze after about 30 secs.Quote:

ok, i'll review the changes
thanks for bug reports
thanx rodries, i gave more detail in my tut on other forum :)Quote:

A new version to test samba
If all goes fine I'll commit changes to google code.

works well samba rodries, similar to the previous release r19 was it? and way it handles large files perfect, no glitches, one bug don't forward madly, otherwise crash!
just forward slowly
Here is my file, i am switching between versions which is why i have the direct link to some files in there still, they obviously just go straight to the directoryQuote:

try going back and clicking again and again but nothing.

also on latest release the file played and the green loading text did not scroll but when i clicked home to stop play i got a page dump. could be a sketchy file though, not got many to test on g/f laptop at the mo.
EDIT:- just tried a couple more axxos and they dont play properly at all, green line at the bottom and diaganol image issue. though i dont get any dump errors when i click back.
660Kb/s is Wifi limitation of wii ?Quote:

is it better with usb network or usb got limitation of ~470Kb/s ?
I think so, I've been talking with bushing and Tantric and I think is a bad ios driver, but not sure, wii wifi especifications is 54g so in theory the max speed must be about 2,5Mb/s, but nobody can have this speed with wiiQuote:

In windows if you write \\192.168.1.3\seagate\ can you see the directory content?
Known issue, you have to wait to see an image before press home.Quote:

Question, I've notice issues trying to connect using a USB LAN adapter (it either isn't able to configure the network or show a garbage string for Wii IP). I don't have any problems when using my wireless network, but I'd like to use a LAN as it's more stable. The reason I ask this is I've looked at some of Tantric's emulators on wiibrew that claim smb usability and all of them say the Wii must be configured to use the wireless network and wondering if Wiibrew that isn't more linux coded (like Geexbox) is able to use any LAN adapter.
From code google issues:
You can use usb-ethernet, but you have to do these steps:
1- power off wii, Unplug usb ethernet
2- power on wii
3- open mplayer wii
4- when menu is shown plug usb ethernet
I think the problem is in usbstorage.c but i can't debug and fix it because i haven't an usb-ethernet
Thanks, that works. Also, smb browsing works great for connecting to my window shares. Very useful feature, thanks.Quote:

Here's my conf:
stream = smb://192.168.0.101/lol/
Where lol is a dir. In this dir, there are 2 vis: one of 320mb, and another of 400mb.
I run WinXp and WiFi.
Btw, exellent version rodries. Samba worked with r19, but it was soooo slow. Now it's fast, but it crashes for me.
What do you think about it?
Also, if I don't skip forward, it works fine.
Known issue.Quote:

any info on a newer release Rodries :)
Hi rodries, just wondering if your smb changes are in the 1.7.0 release of libogc? If not, are the only files you changed lib\libtinysmb.a and include\smb.h? If they are I assume I can update the rest and copy these files over?
Not at now, but shagkur i going to check in into cvs soon.Quote:
