I am using an iomega ix2-200 as my NAS running 1.0.2 WiiMC… All of my content runs very well through SMB although I personaly would perfer FTP (this I haven’t got working yet). I would suggest filling in all information in settings… Example:

Name – SMB NAS Drive
ip – 192.168.1.69
share – public
user –
pass –

I am able to connect with no User and Pass because I allow anon login to my public folder… if you are unsure try your admin account on the NAS.

I have set up all 4 Wiis in my house and all run SMB fine except for the few issues discussed in the other threads with FF/WW causeing a few freezes.

Hope this helps.

I have no issues in the previous Mplayer build… r590 seems to have quite a few issues in a few areas. I downgraded right away.

Hello IronBill… Thanks for all your work in this… I just got a Navi account and will be working on setting up and testing all Navi abilities on the Wii… this is a really cool idea. I do have one quick question right now before I even begin… Can’t you guys port from casttv.com yet?

I have not been able to get FTP working yet on WiiMC… However on 1.0.2 I have gotten SMB to work. As for Mplayer-CE (latest betas)… Here is the workaround I found to get it working-

1) Restart your Wii
2) As soon as you open Mplayer (.77) navigate to the Shoutcast section and start a stream (I start a radio stream just for speed)
3) Once the stream starts goto your FTP and open it… works everytime for me…

However I only get 1 movie in (.avi) and at the end of the movie it will feeze trying to load the next. Or if I try to navigate to another movie half way through I get a freeze.

Let me know if this help anyone… I believe there is an issue in initializing the network through FTP and first must be done via online content. This workaround does work for me in Mplayer even if it’s a pain. And the files run perfect.

As for WiiMC… I think we will have to wait and see with 1.0.3 when it comes. I suggest setting up a SMB (also suggested from the WiiMC team) for now if you want to use WiiMC.

I was also having similar issues after loading from the DVD menu. Sometimes audio wouldn’t sync for 30 seconds and then catch up. Other times audio would be playing in super-slow-mo as video plays at normal speed. And sometimes it works fine.

I would suggest using Mplayer for DVDs… runs great for me. WiiMC DVD could still use a little help.
