ISO file support

[toxicshadow]

Can you ad in the wiimc player a possibility to read DVD video in .iso format?
Thank you.

If it doesn’t already support ISO files then I agree. Most dvds are in ISO format.

It should support iso files. In Mplayer CE you had to add the iso-extension in the extensions config file.

If it does, I can’t seem to find how to ‘enable’ this. You’re absolutely right for MPlayer CE, when you add the iso extension to extensions config it works like a charm

That extension just isn’t on the allowed list. The reason is when I tested ISO files due to the network speed it played like crap.

@Tantric So do you think WiiMC will ever be able to play ISO format well? Just want to know if I should get started on changing formats

[rodries]

Trying to stream something DVD-sized over SMB is just impractical. It can probably play ISO just fine over USB.

@Tantric So it will play the dvd ISO file through a USB 2.0 hard drive? Thats what I was wanting, just something to play dvds off of a hard drive. I don’t have internet connection on my wii so streaming like netflix doesn’t matter to me lol Does external drive need to be in FAT32?

NTFS should work too. I’d just have to add the ISO extension to the allowed types for the next release.

@Tantric looking forward to the next release! 😆

That’s weird. I ripped a DVD to my hard disk and WiiMC played the VOB files just fine without lag. Why shouldn’t the isos work?

That isn’t the issue – it’s just the GUI is programmed to not recognize ISO files as acceptable file types for MPlayer (the backend) to play.

Will be fixed in next release, though 😉

[rodries]

Fixed? That would imply something was broken! In this case, I purposefully chose to ignore ISO files. As I just know people will try to load them via SMB, find it slow, and complain. 🙄

Still not sure it’s a good idea to allow them!

I hope ISO files on USB will be allowed on the next release. It would be awesome. To the developers, thank you very much for this amazing application. Sometimes I forget that the wii can play games too.
