    Great work.

    Looks like it’s getting closer to streaming dvd’s over wifi too!

    Not sure if there were some network tweaks or anything that may have caused that, or if it was something on my end though

    unfortunately the portuguese language has been affected by this version
    some words such as transiç?o (transition) are being shown as transi ão or transi o

    i have wiiMC on 2 different wii’s in my house. 1 works fine. the other freezes when trying to load any video files. i raised the cache and lowered it to no avail. im going to downgrade back to 1.2.2 and just deal with the “update available” annoyance every time i start up. you are doing an AMAZING job tho, i thank you whole heartedly for all the effort u put into giving us the best media player ever!! cheers mates!

    Yes… freezes (not crashing, just freezes) on every video.

    To “solve” it, as usual… DO NOT UPGRADE, just make a fresh new install (keeping your settings if you want).

    Lateley, upgrading is not working (lots of problems…) that are usually solved with new install… not very confortable 🙁

    Anyway, the problem started few versions ago is still there: can not make it work unless started via homebrew channel. WiiMC channel is still useless (starting WiiMC with its own channle, makes it crash every single video).

    Anyhow, GREAT WORK. You save my nights 🙂

    Could you please integrate a realtime clock, because, when i’m watching movies late night, i would like to see the hour, but i don’t want to get up from bed, take my cellphone or turn on lights only to see the hour, maybe if you can put a clock in wiimc would be great

    After upgrade I am not able to play any video files and it is not more possible to look picutres and play music at same time (Wii crashes). After downgrade to 1.2.2 it works again without any problems.

    Same here too, all videos freeze Wii on opening.

    I confirm that this release affects all special characters used in languages like french, german, spanish, potuguese, …
    Probably a problem with utf-8 charset conversion.
    Can you please fix this bug to a new release ?

    Hi – I really appreciate all the work done on the wiimc – quality and features of this piece for the short time it had been developed is amazing.
    Just wanted to note that with the latest release 123:
    1) in youtube search Japanese and other language characters (Russian) displayed as garbage – it would be really nice to be able to see them
    2) keyboard does not allow to enter symbols like _ into share names (any chance for other language keyboard 🙂 ? – happy to help with this part if you could tell me where to start )
    3) after finding video in youtube search – some videos don’t play (“Error to open file”) on first attempt – need to select video title and wait for 10 seconds, and even then sometimes need to re-try 3-4 times – any chance to figure out why it happens or how to make it a bit more sure thing. Sounds like some sort of timing issue / drop connection issue.
    Many many thanks again, Mike.

    Hello,

    After uprgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3 I can’t see many folders and files on the disk (FAT32)
    When I back to 1.2.2 everything is OK.

    The Brazilian portuguese language isn’t correct in this version.

    If the file is named “séries” it’s shown “sA:ries”

    the subtitles are with this error too, please fix it!!!!
