Everything’s working fine for me now!..
USB NTFS getting picked up fine.

Thanks alot

wowowowowo i just finish testing this new update simply amazin ! its faster no issue for me (wii 4.3wan, ciosx rev20. ios58 hbc 1.0.8) thanks again guys for this great FREE player

Hey, everything working well now thanks Tantric! Is it possible to make the channel installer downloadable via the Homebrew Browser? Over 80,000 people have used HBB to download Wiimc, according to their stats, so I imagine there a lots of users who have Wiimc, but know nothing about the very useful System Menu channel. Personally, it would make it easier for me to update my (very non-technical) friend’s Wiis that I have installed Wiimc on; just instructions instead of them having to mess around with files and sd cards. Thanks again!

Must have been a bit frustrating over the last couple of days for you.

Thanks for your efforts.

I’m on v.1.0.9 with channel installer 1.4 now, and no problems to report with my smb delivered mp4 collection.

Just installed the new update with the new channel installer. USB drive not picked up using the channel however works fine from HBC

Tantric>> This update fixed everything for me 🙂 Thank you so much for all your hard work!! All I need now is for the emulators to work properly with the new ios58. VBAgx, FCE Ultra GX and Snes9x GX all have problems with finding my disk. They find it after a few “RETRY”, but after a few game loads I get a crash or a new forced retry’s…

Do you need to fix the same thing in them that you did in WIIMC? (Probably a stupid question).

Thank you for the FREE software – you rock!!!!

I tried to watch True.Blood.S03E09.HDTV.XviD-FQM (released a few days ago) on 1.0.9 but it runs really slow. Async video(slow video) and audio (normal audio). Then I re-installed the 1.0.7 and know everything runs ok! Is it possible to add SHADOW to the subtitles font ?? Like front=white, shadow=black.
Thks in advance!

Correction: Snes9x GX actually runs ok.

i have the same issue that ed
with all my video files but with 1.0.8 works fine
thanks 😀

Hey thanks for another quick update. Version 1.0.9 finds usb drive on Homebrew but still having problems with 1.04 channel. The drive powers down then powers up with a fairly long pause then nothing. However I went back to channel 1.02 and now it is finding usb drive almost every time and no longer powers down. Getting a lot more stack errors with ver. 1.0.9 then ver. 1.0.6 but now able to watch my movies again. Really appreciate all the work you guys do!!!

Ever since 1.08 my videos have had atleast 2 second audio delay and it can’t be fixed by tweaking the audio delay options in the video settings

wow u are fast! i got notified there’s an update after launchin wiimc few hrs back, though main page of wiimc.org still showing 1.0.8 not till after few mins…thanks ext hdd working as pernormal…

Eh…streaming av sync issues appear to be gone, but hd is still not detected. Oddly enough it was detected, albeit briefly (2-3 hours), under 1.0.8. I understand it’s hard to please everyone, thanks for the software.

HDD is now detected but is a bit slower. Takes 2-3 seconds to load the HDD and to play files. Also buffering is slightly longer.

Any reason why this version is a bit slower than 1.0.6?

No more freezing and error code dumping as in 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 when playing video files.

I think 1.0.6 is the most stable version but will try out 1.0.9 a bit longer. But all in all a big improvement on 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 =). Youtube search is very good.

Thanks for your efforts and hopefully the next release can get back to the speeds of 1.0.6 =).

I’m having trouble with audio sync and video. Going back to v1.0.7.

Thanks a lot for this amazing work!!

It is true, the USB-access in 1.0.9 is slightly slower than in 1.0.6.

The reason is not WiiMC itself, but IOS58. Many developers are now shifting to IOS58 instead of cIOS because its USB-Code was written by Nintendo and is therefore expected to be way more stable than patched code from Waninkoko or Hermes.

However, cIOS202 offered faster USB-speed than IOS58 does. But the speed decreased so little that it will hardly become a problem for anyone using WiiMC.

Love the new release by the way! 🙂

Ah I see, thanks for the responses guys. After a bit more testing, still getting error code dumps on video files that didn’t happen with 1.0.6 :/.

Sticking with 1.0.6 but good work nonetheless. =)

Thanks for the quick fix, my NTFS partition shows up again.

I haven’t seen anyone else mention this but, my FLV files aren’t showing up anymore ^^

Scratch this comment, oversight on my part.

I’m glad that you fixed the mkv bug, but now all video files run at about 66% speed, while the audio is at 100%.
This seems to affect all formats that I’ve used, be it mp4, avi, flv, or mkv.
If it helps, I’m using an NTFS 1TB external.

Hey how’s it goin everyone, my Wii is running v 3.3u i just downloaded WiiMC 1.0.9 and the channel installer 1.4 and IOS58, as soon as I load it up it says “Unable to change path to sd1:/apps/wiimc” what should I do to get it running?

Just notice something that none has complain, the Youtube support, it works for playing the videos, but if you let any video play till it ends, the program just crashes, you can’t press any key, you can’t turn the console off as usual (need to do the 5 seconds trick), resetting the console is not working only fully shutting the Wii.

And as my usual complain, but still looks that is only a small group that are complaining about it… The FTP access is still not fully working, there’s still a problem to access a simple FTP, have tried almost all FTP daemons on my PC and the problem is the same, Wii “tries” to connect but shows only a blank folder with no files, only the Go Up One Level (Back) option, if you keep trying (probably 4 or 5 times) you’ll end up that you connect and everything seems normal, but if you go out and back in again, you need to repeat.

Seems the FTP problem is related to faulty Internet Connection init, because all FTP daemons show up in the log that after WiiMC is asking for the directory structure, it is not waiting for it, just close the FTP connection and the server has no one to send to.

Hope this info helps this great program, I really admire Tantric work with all GX projects and WiiMC. 🙂

Youtube works fine for me and I’m thrilled it was added, but if you try to skip ahead in a video or something it totally freezes (but the music keeps playing?) and I even have to hard-shut off the Wii completely. Strange.

Anyway, thanks! I’ve tested a lot of players. WiiMc is the best so far and the developers dont forget about it and keep updating it! Thanks a lot.

I have one – or two – doubt. Is there a problem if I use a 1GB SD while playing over the SMS (buffering). Can it crash? Sd has little storage capacity. Its possible to add shadow to the font of the subtitles ?? Thanks!

good work!!!

Just wanted to be one of the many people thanking you for an awesome piece of software.
It’s so pretty that it makes me want to use it, even if I don’t feel like watching anything. And I finally got SMB working, so that’s awesome.

A few questions though; What would be the cause of a video playing completely in black, only playing the audio? That’s what happens when I try playing How to train your Dragon.
Also, the video in some movies lag behind the audio. Is there any way to fix that?

Audio and Video are out of Sync now. Tested watching a movie via Wireless from my computer.

@João
I installed 1.08 and verified that there is no Audio/Video Sync problem in 1.0.8.

Can someone tell me how to fix my problem plz? I just really wanna test it out

@Mojo

@Mojo
I’ve had that problem before. I’ve been trying to load it from a 512mb SD card which was almost full (~10-15mb free) and kept getting the same error. Then I deleted a lot of stuff, almost everything (50mb used) and it loaded successfully. First I thought it was because I deleted the MPlayer CE, but as soon as I filled the card again it showed the same error on every start up.

I hope my comment is useful to you 🙂

I was holding fast to 1.04 for a long time, waiting for all the USB issues to be ironed out. I decided to at last take the plunge with 1.09.

A lot of the new features are nice, but the performance seems to have taken a major hit. I noticed some framedropping even while watching SD TV shows encoded with XviD. Most tellingly, 1.04 could play 720p files (encoded with XviD) absolutely perfectly. On 1.09, they are choppy to the point of unwatchability.

Is this something that’s likely to be fixed in future releases?

When i try to install chanell 1.4 the instalation load ios36 and cant instal the channel. I try the 1.3 e 1.4 and show the same error. I’m using Wii 4.1U, IOS58, WiiMC 1.0.9

@Tantric
I’m using HBC 1.0.8, but how i see if using IOS58?

@Rafael
I’m instal IOS58 then HBC 1.0.8 then Chanell 1.4 and WiiMC 1.0.9 but the videos on SMB share ha problems with the audio sync…

Hi – just wanted to save Tantric *hail the master* some time 🙂

So this is for you @Rafael: Start the Homebrew Channel and press the home-button. In the top right corner, you can see the version of HBC, which should be 1.0.8, and just below that the IOS it is currently using. It SHOULD say IOS58 and a version number. If not, I am guessing that you have IOS58 installed, but that HBC is not using it as of yet. In that case need to reinstall HBC. To do this, simply download the 1.0.8-version and reinstall it. Download (and installation details) at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Channel

Hope this helps 🙂

Once again – Thank you Tantric for such AMAZING, sweet-looking, free software for the WII!!!

Double post!! 😀 whoops :p Well – I had sync problems with 1.0.9 as well… Try WIIMC 1.0.8. The only frustrating thing about using earlier / more stable versions, is that you are prompted for automatic updates at every program start, and that this feature cannot be disabled 🙁

I got it workin, all I did was switch the lock switch from unlocked to locked and it started workin, but then I switched it back and it’s still running, I don’t kno, very wierd, but WiiMC is cool now I can watch all my movies off my external hd, thanks a lot guys

@ERK

Yes, i do this and now work the chanell 😀

but now with the wiimc 1.0.9 the sync of SMB videos as trouble…i downgrade to 1.0.8 and sync is fine 😀

it find my hdd again but now i have problem with sound delay on a lot of films.
Go back to 1.07 again ! sniff

is it possible to have no message to ask update ?

Hi! Same trouble that the oder guys… With 1.0.9 everything works fine except that syncs between video and audio have a delay… Any idea? Thanks a lot!

hum, i have the same problem with audio delay on some films with 1.07, maybe it’s ios58 the problem ?

wait and see …

thanks for your great job

Went back to 1.0.8 because 1.0.9 brought some audio delays with many files.

I have a problem with mkv file encoded with H264: video is slow and audio is not synced with video. Is this a performance issue related to Wii ?

I am using HBC 1.0.8 with last IOS58

i`m having problems with RMVB files, they are all unsynchronized , but other files work well. any ideas of what is it?
