MPlayerWii - Native MPlayer port for the Wii

[rodries]

Rodries - I just watched a movie with your r19 update - very good - no interruptions what so ever.

Your are indeed doing a good job - keep up! What's the progress in adding subtitles?

Slow, I'm learning how compile mplayer myself.

Same here, since I see places where I could improve this quite a bit but I am trying to find out how to compile this in ubuntu.

Any help with a up to date tutorial?

If samba is now indeed working, that is great news. I don't really have the time to test an inifinite number of halfpatched versions though. I will wait for mplayerwii 0.8 :P Any heads up on that? And bugfixing? Just me thinking that ironing out bugs should be no1 priority? Not that reading files from dvd isn't good, but having mplayer actually play all supported formas without error is more important, IMHO.

I heartily agree. Much as its nice to have more media storage options its all pointless if it cant deliver on its primary fucntion - PLAYING MEDIA! Id much rather have it play an avi film all the way through over being able to use a DVD

To test you have to add to mplayer.conf a line like this:

stream = smb://userassword@ip_address/share/

Example:
stream = smb://192.168.1.2/films/

Now direct access to a smb file is not working so
stream = smb://192.168.1.2/films/film1.avi is not going to work

, so
stream = smb://192.168.1.2/ is not going to work

Test and comment

Nice job rodries!! It's been working great overall, I watched 16 short (10 or 15 minute) revision3.com's show Scam School avi's that I put in my share folder, when I started a few of them it would cut out to a black screen every couple of seconds but the audio was steady. It was fixable by exiting out and restarting. It took a couple tries on some of them but once they started they played great the whole way through. I've watched a couple avi movies and a few 350mb tv shows and it never did that.

Any progress on this? I've got my dvd drive on my computer shared and as long as the videos are in folders they are recognized and stream great but if they are just on the DVD they wont show up.

I appreciate all the work that is being done on this by everyone involved. But I feel I want to contribute with my ideas. I feel that there are many people like me out there and I would appreciate it if someone could spend a few minutes to put together a simple list or a small paragraph of what we need to do in order to successfully build mplayerwii (and mplayer) from scratch on a Unix machine (be it Linux, MacOS X).

Thanks

I don't understand.
If you share your dvd you'll have to give a shared name, for example dvd so, supposing you pc ipaddress is 192.168.1.2 you can access to your dvd using:
stream = smb://192.168.1.2/dvd/

what am I missing?

Another version fixing codedumps browsing in samba

I am trying to use samba, problem is it initiates the network, but then I can't do anything. By that I mean it just returns to play off of SD at the top?

I don't know what I need to add - I have .conf at root and it points to my film folder .. ie:

stream = smb://192.168.11.101/films/

It says it connects, but then I can't see anything else.

[Bauldrick]

oops !! I just realized as I wrote that post that I didn't include '/' at the end, my bad!!

Thanks for all the work put in - I shall go test some now I can see the .avi's
