I meant in the main trunk, your customisations are awesome and I hope they get picked up.

[Matoking]

@Rodries, all looks good with that version you linked me. It picks up my fat partition as well as my ext3 and ext4 partitions.

Well I would have to say you are prolly hitting a network bottleneck (the wii can only do 802.11b). This is extremely slow and with the overhead that SMB has, you prolly won’t get that working. You could try using FTP instead, but I have a feeling the results will only be marginally better.

[Matoking]

Ehh that is a little much for me, I would settle for meta-data lookup and display. But there in would be the problem, what I like might not be what you like. Instead of pouring time into a feature like that, I would rather they spend their time fixing issues and adding more functionality.

Though I am hoping for an overhaul of the green check mark for both played and partially played files.

Here are the results of the new test

M3U works fine, could you attach your file so we can see format you used.

Here is a snippet from one of mine

I would suggest you just use an app like handbreak to create a compressed rip of the file and then share that file to your wii. DVD-playback can be choppy sometimes and a pain at best based on my experiences.

boondoklife, you must unplug in between tests or the test isn’t actually run and the results are not valid. Could you try again (with the device connected on startup is fine) and unplug/replug after each test? Also, try waiting 10 seconds before pressing A to continue. This will give your drive time to spin up.

Hey Tantric, the “not attached before launched” file should be what you need as it was unplugged and re-plugged as needed. I actually waited 15 seconds between each part so a total of 30 seconds if you add up both requests for the “A” button to be pressed between tests.

I am going to run a test with it plugged in at boot and will post it too. Not sure why it would fail all the tests but work if it is booted with it plugged in.

Posting at least the make & model would be nice as it would help to clarify what drives work and what ones don’t.

My test results are attached. I did notice one thing that is odd; if I have the device connected before I run the app, then the first test is successful but every subsequent test is not. If I do not have it plugged in and plug it in when prompted then it does not work.

Western Digital MyBook Premium ES, 500GB
The drive is compatible and working with every homebrew app I have used thus far. Cfg_USB_Loader, WiiMC, MPlayerCE, WiiXplorer just to name a few.

Are you able to make these connections with another device? If so then the same settings would work with wiimc.

[Matoking]

Definitely would like to see this! +1

The shuffling is taken care of by the php script, it gets all the videos and then shuffles the order. It can lead to back to back playing of the same episode every now and then, but it is not all that often once you get alot of videos in your playlist.

[Matoking]

Do you mean to a folder section that you coded into the onlinemedia.xml? I was going to do that, but the thought of adding a couple hundred links to it just was a pain. 😀

This way I just add the videos to my playlist on the youtube site and the script just scrapes those results and returns them in an m3u format. Used with the shuffle, it makes for a very long and interesting episode of sesame street!

[Matoking]

Thanks Tantric,

If anyone wants to use this, here is the source and a link to a working example on my box.

<?php

//DEFAULT PLAYLIST DO NOT LEAVE BLANK

//THIS IS USED IF NO PLAYLIST IS SPECIFIED

$playlist='';



if (array_key_exists('playlist',$_GET) && $_GET) {

$playlist=$_GET;

}



$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p='.$playlist;

$html = file_get_contents($url);



$video_section;

$videos;

$events = null;

$data = null;



$pattern_video_link = '/.*?/s';



preg_match_all($pattern_video_link, $html, $videos);



$videos = $videos[0];



if (array_key_exists('shuffle',$_GET) && $_GET) {

shuffle($videos);

}

echo '#EXTM3U'."n";

for ($i=0; $i<count($videos); $i++) {

preg_match('/title="(?P

You can add a link to your onlinemedia.xml file like so:

Fell free to use my server to play your playlists, but do respect it. I do reserve the right to ban access if you abuse this service.

Yea, but some people really don’t want to have yet another device running.
