You need to take a 7.9 meg snip of your file using Partcopy http://www.virtualobjectives.com.au/utilitiesprogs/partcopy.htm
and attach it to a bug report using the development/tracker/new task tabs above.
I can then test it here too.

[cadbusca]

I’m not sure I understand you. You seem to be making it complicated.

As per the EP agreement and the 1.1 changes you should have an apps/wiimc and an apps/wiimc-plus.
The apps/wiimc will have the files used by the released WIIMC and the apps/wiimc-plus will have those by the EP version (ie: settings.xml will have all the EP options too)

If you compile the SVN, that boot.dol goes in app/wiimc and it will look there for its files.
If you merge the EP and compile, that boot.dol goes in app/wiimc-plus and it will look there for its files.

Once the Enhancement Pack is merged it is simple to remove it and revert to the pure SVN. Just Right click on WIIMC/source, select Turtoise SVN then Revert, select all and Ok. If the menu is already empty it means that you are already at the pure SVN copy.

At any time you can get any SVN version. Just Right click on WIIMC, select Turtoise SVN then Update to Revision…
and enter the SVN number. If the EP patch was already merged, it will remain merged with the new SVN, although if there are conflicts they will be identified and must be resolved. You may find it easier to first revert, update the SVN and reapply the patch, solving the conflicts as part of the merge process.

When I compile the varous versions I also rename the WIIMC/wiimc.dols to Rnnn-0.dol or Rnnn-EP.dol so that I always have all the dols available and I can copy and rename them to apps/wiimc and apps/wiimc-plus as I wish.

Bottom line, it is simple to switch between SVN’s and get patched and unpatched versions. As posted the current EP patches without conflict to SVN606 and effective with SVN607 the EP needs to have its “global” option numbers increased by one to reflect the addition of a new “global” option in the released version. If you choose to do this rather than wait for EP V (although I see no pressing reason to do so in the SVN’s) then you should use Turtoise to Create a (new EP) Patch that you can then continue to use without conflict with subsequent SVN’s.

Perhaps you already know all that but I thought I would spell it out in case others are unaware of this simplicity.

I can only refer you to the instructions that came with Enhancement Pack IV – http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=874#p3673

“Another change with 1.1.0 is the hardcoding of the directory containing the various files used by WIIMC to “wiimc”. WIIMC no longer uses the directory from which the WIIMC application was loaded. This is actually a good thing because you can now change the application directory and use a common set of files. In order to keep the Enhanced Version separate I have hardcoded it to “wiimc-plus” so if upgrading you must copy your latest WIIMC Plus files (settings.xml, onlinemedia.xml, playlist, restore_points, and the css directory) to “appswiimc-plus” so they will be available to your enhanced application once compiled and installed.”

Problems with playing mkv files have nothing to do with compiling WIIMC. Bugs with the features of WIIMC should be tested with the standard version and reported in the bug tracker.

“4)With both the standard and enhanced WiiMC available to you, I ask that you agree to only report problems and bugs on the WIIMC forum that can be replicated using the standard” WiiMC” application and you agree not to report any problems encountered with the enhanced “WiiMC Plus” application that are not reproducable with the standard version. Please restrict any Enhancement Pack issues to PM’s to me.”

Again I can only assure users that the Enhanced Compile Guide instructions are correct and result in a working up-to-date version of WIIMC. Similarly the Enhancement Pack patch may be applied correctly up to the SVN level it was released at without conflict by following the instructions in that Pack.

[cadbusca]

Just a reminder that the “EP deal” was not to post EP related questions in the forum, which is exclusively for the released WIIMC code. Please keep them in the EP thread or PM me.

With the addition of the “Start Area” option each of the Enhancement Pack Global options need to be bumped by one. The Enhancement Pack will continue to use its “Start Menu” option setting which has additional logic and ignore the new “Start Area” option. These changes will be reflected in Enhancement Pack V.

[cadbusca]

I guess I need to say it again.

“I continue to compile the latest SVN’s correctly using the Expanded Windows Compile Guide instructions I have published above.”

That includes svn658 as updated 58 minutes ago.

I provided this Enhanced Guide thread for those who newbies who need a basic set of working instructions so that they could have access to the Enhancement Pack without the clutter of problems being encountered by those who choose to do it differently. Unfortunately you are cluttering it with problems of your own making which does nothing to reassure others that the Compile Guide is correct and that Compiling WIIMC is easy and problem free.

It would be more appropriate for you to post in the “Build under Windows” thread where you will find others with the knowledge to assist you.

[cadbusca]

I’d hardly call the following as following the instructions.
– I used MinGW as compile environment
– I moved files from library manually
– I deleted old wiimc directory
– I Opened up MinGW msys
– I have modified the file (d:developingdevkitPromsysetcfstab)
If you know what you are doing then that’s fine, but don’t criticize others for not knowing what you are doing or why it won’t work when you chose to do your own thing.

[cadbusca]

I continue to compile the latest SVN’s correctly using the Expanded Windows Compile Guide instructions I have published above. If you choose not to follow those instructions you are essentially on your own.

[cadbusca]

This was a reported bug, now fixed in svn627. Either compile the svn or wait for next release.

[cadbusca]

Effective with SVN627, libmpg123 is included with the SVN update but must be compiled in order to add libmpg123.a and libmpg123.la to C:devkitProportlibsppclib and mpg123.h to C:devkitProportlibsppcincludempg123.h

To compile execute the following:

cd /c/wiimc/libs/libmpg123

./configure --host=powerpc-eabi --prefix="${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc" --libdir="${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib" --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes --with-cpu=ppc_nofpu --with-optimization=3

cd src/libmpg123

make install

Note that this is a long running process with lots of messages and “make install” will appear to repeat much of the “./configure” output.

The original compile instructions have been amended to add these instructions.
On successful completion you will see the message
“Libraries have been installed in: /c/devkitPro/portlibs/ppc/lib”

Dynmosaic: Read the earlier posts. Problem reported and solved.

[cadbusca]

The released Enhancement Pack IV will merge without conflict from SVN598 thru SVN604. With SVN607 settings changes will introduce conflicts. I will be away for a week or two so will be unable to update the patch until then, probably with Pack Version V which will add online playlist saving and sorting to further enhance the online experience.

[cadbusca]

As I said in the EP version 4 post, libogc SVN 4421 or later is required.

[cadbusca]

As I have said before, this site belongs to the WIIMC authors, for the release of the WIIMC features that they wish to support, and not for derivative works. Fortunately they allow users to provide patches that enhance their work but not compiled versions. The support of a compiled version also implies support for all the underlying technologies and I do not have the skills to do that. That’s why I only provide the patches, and you must maintain a standard version as well as a compiled enhanced version, so that you can report any problems to the authors after verifying them on the standard version.

That being said, you are never too old to learn, and I have provided the Expanded Compile Guide to make access to the Enhancement Pack a cakewalk. Additionally it gives you access to the latest fixes without having to wait for the next released version. Hundreds are using it, why not you.

[cadbusca]

Apparently the requirement to install MinGW is new effective with SVN599, since it is not specified in the Development/Compiling Instructions tab, and is not created by the installation of DevKitPro.

It may be downloaded using http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20100909/mingw-get-inst-20100909.exe/download and then run to install. The first make of WIIMC will then compile it (long & slow) and the wiimc.dol will be created without error.

I have updated the “Expanded Compile” instructions to include a pointer to this post.

[cadbusca]

To facilitate the creation of custom onlinemedia playlists including YouTube, Enhancement Pack IV for 1.1.0 includes the ability to optionally save any preferred links after playback, and include them for playback in an Onlinemedia SavedLinks at the next startup. This eliminates the need to search through the predefined playlists for previously played online videos and facilitates moving these links into custom onlinemedia folder playlists. Together with the “Autoplay next YouTube” feature this further enhances the WIIMC YouTube Support.
