Ok, the beta version seems to have fixed my issue, although I did just have a freeze up, but I think it was coincidental just because I went to push home just as a video was ending and ended up freezing to a black screen, no garbled video, no high pitched buzz. I was able to watch nearly 4 hours of video over SMB without a single freeze during playback, and the beta version seems to have corrected my issue. Thank you.

Mplayer SMB seems to be working seamlessly without any issues. I’m testing my second video with it now, Watched one that was <700M and this one is 1.4GB and it hasn't froze yet. Both videos were consistently freezing in WiiMC.
Mplayer OSD shows cache(74%) m1(0.15) m2(31.28) Not sure what m1/m2 are used for. Cache drops to 73% for a second every so often but no lower.

What IOS is WiiMC using? I’m running r592 of Mplayer CE, and I noticed that it is still using IOS 202. Is there a way to force WiiMC to use IOS202 to test if a change in IOS is causing this issue?

I am having nothing but problems playing SMB videos over wireless as well. I have one of the new Black Wiis. Running System menu 4.3U Improved (September update)

WiiMC constantly freezes while playing video. MP3s work flawlessly . The video becomes garbled and usually a high pitch squeal accompanies it sometimes within minutes, sometimes an hour into a movie. I am able to play directly from SD card and USB drive fine.

My router is a WRT54G running DD-WRT On Channel 11. I have the Wii’s IP address statically assigned in the router using MAC addressing. The only other wireless router I can detect is operating on channel 1. Signal quality of connection as shown VIA the routers Interface is 98% to 100%
Router load average is staying steady around 25%.

I’ve tried running WiiMC from the Homebrew Channel and from the WiiMC channel. Using a USB Thumb Drive as the Scratch area as well as an SD card with no noticeable improvement.

Is there anything else I can attempt here? Or am I going to have to move my PC back into the living room and Hook the DVI output into the TV again?

Love the whole look and feel of WiiMC. Hope I can get it working flawless as it should.
