Buffer and online media

[datI]

Hi,
First, excuse me for my poor english…
I have a problem with playing online video. For example this one :
mms://a988.v101995.c10199.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/988/10199/3f97c7e6/ftvigrp.download.akamai.com/10199/cappuccino/production/publication/geoloc/france-dom-tom/Autre/Autre/2010/S35/158764_pblv_20100831.wmv
WiiMC seem to playing directly without buffering, so the result is completly strange (big lags, video and audio are desynchronous, wiimote is crazy…). This is the video property :

format=WMV3
height=216
width=384
ratio=16/9
codec=ffwmv3
bitrate=286
audio-format=353
audio-codec=ffwmav2
audio-bitrate64
lenght=00:23:59

I try to view this video with the latests release of MPlayerCE and it’s work great (Buffering is OK) so I think it is not a limitation of the Wii.
Thank a lot for your help,
Florian

I downloaded this video file and it turns out it has 2 VC1 video streams… the 384 wide you referenced and a higher quality 640 wide stream. I don’t know what WIIMC will try and do with this but WIIMC opened the 640 stream and the player failed when I opened the mms under onlinemedia, and it played the 640 stream using the downloaded video.
This is all with the latest SVN and there have been many changes since to the official releases which may be why you got some playing.

Navi-X on WiiMC and WiiMC from my understanding will only play which ever link/format is made available first in the output. It should not have the ability to make a determination between which stream to playback like in XBMC’s version of Navi-X. If you experience differently, let us know and I’ll try to pass on the info.

Ok, thanks for your answer. I will wait for the next release and see…
