Note the post http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1042&start=20#p5088 indicating problems compiling after SVN844.

[cadbusca]

You obviously did not follow the guide instructions which would have given you ntfs.h and you used svn742 which has a bug. Follow the instructions and compile SVN 743 which fixes the bug..

[cadbusca]

Thanks for the quick reply. The distribution has been updated to reflect 843 and the WIIMC+ users advised.

[cadbusca]

Thank you for the feedback. Interestingly enoough the dol seems to work fine though.

[cadbusca]

What was the error? I have just recompiled and verified the patch with 842. The output is below.

Note there is an error 1 from the Mplayer update but this has no effect on the compiled dol.

You are correct that the patch works with 838 as well. That is the level I developed at but upgraded to 842 to get the upgraded Mplayer code.

Note that I did not update the SVN number that displays on the credits screen. You can update it yourself if you wish by editing line 18 of wiimc.h and changin 838 to 842.

OK so you want to zoom the picture keeping the aspect ratio intact until all the black bars are gone.

By my calculations doing this will result in the following:
On a 16:9 screen and original aspect 4:3 zoomed to 16:12 will chop off 25% of the picture top and bottom.
On a 16:9 screen and original aspect of 2.35:1 zoomed to 21.15:9 will chop off 32% of the picture left and right.

Despite your assertions to the contrary, I have been unable to find media players that will do this. They will distort as required to fill the screen but I’ve been unable to find any option on VLC for example that will do what you want.
Perhaps you can explain how to achieve this but I would not expect much call for an option that will loose 1/4 to 1/3 of the picture.

[cadbusca]

Please pm me with that info as well so I can test it with my enhancement pack. Thanks.

[cadbusca]

Yes that’s my understanding too, however my experience shows that if you can fill the buffer faster than you use it a big buffer will only delay the start of playback. You can see this if you “home” when when the buffering starts and then resume … the buffering delay will not come back.

[cadbusca]

The cache fill setting is always on. What do you mean by “help with the buffering” ? It always buffers. Buffering is only obvious when you are playing the bits faster than you can load them, which depends on the connection speed and the codec.

[cadbusca]

I had the same problem so one of my enhancements was to save and load the onlinemedia.xml file from the PC. Works great and I can edit and reload WIIMC+ without touching the WII.

[cadbusca]

Depends on 2 things:
1) The aspect ratio of the original video. Scale down to keep it.
2) The video codec used. 1280 is probably AVC and the WII can only handle up to 640 without going out of sync so Width = 40 & Height = 640/original Aspect ratio

But the better solution is to use VLC-Shares and keep you original video files on the PC.

[cadbusca]

Well, first of all you still have not answered the question of what make and model of TV you have. Secondly you seem not to understand that videos come in various aspects that simply cannot be properly displayed without black bars. It is pointless to offer a full (no black bars) zoom that simply distorts or chops off part of the picture. While you assert that lots of other players can do this perhaps you can define in words the logic/algorithm that you would like to have implemented that will full zoom without distorting or chopping off the picture. Oh and it should work for both 4:3 and 16:9 TV’s. With both of these answered perhaps we can find a way to help you.

[cadbusca]

Is it possible to do this in Windows? I’ve tried to keep the Compile Guide current but it is getting beyond me.

[cadbusca]

Thanks for the clarification. Users updating don’t get these changes I now realize unless they dig into the new user download.

[cadbusca]

AFAIK the only searches are Navi and YouTube. Shoutcast Radio and TV playlists are accessed from the WIIMC server and are fixed based on a 1 hour refresh from the Shoutcast server and returned in frequency of use order. With my enhancement pack they can be resorted in name order which makes it easier to find what you want.
