I committed a change for this, maybe it’s fixed now?

Excellent, so what you may have found is a type issue in the iso9660 implementation. check the types for the definitions of fseek, fread, etc and compare to a working devoptab (eg: tinysmb) to make sure they are correct: eg: size_t instead of u32 or int.

Anything over 640×480 will be downscaled. WiiMC can play files up to 1280×720. But a file of that resolution will more than likely play choppily for you – the Wii just can’t process it fast enough. So yes I would suggest downscaling them prior to playback, 720×405 sounds like a good resolution. I just did this myself for some files – the original files were 1280×720 h264 and I re-encoded them to 720×405 divx. They play great now!

You can also try 853.333 x 480 and see what happens. It will definitely play, you’ll just have find out how well. I would stay away from using h264 if possibly though – that codec takes a lot more processing power than others do.

60 is a System Menu IOS. It is not supported.

So yes, what I said applies to IOS60, IOS30, IOS36. Every IOS except 58 and 61. They are all unsupported.

[rodries]

The only two IOSs that won’t give you a warning message are IOS58 and IOS61.

Install either of those two and you’re fine – but I’d recommend IOS58 over 61. There’s a few technical reasons why, but if for no other reason than that’s the IOS we test on, I’d suggest you get that one. It has absolutely no detrimental impact on anything to install IOS58. 🙂

You’re mistaken, there’s this entry in onlinemedia.xml:

[rodries]

a) You’re running the installer for HBC beta 9 from 2008. That isn’t gonna work.
b) Why run from bannerbomb? You can reinstall HBC right from HBC itself. Go download the latest version and read the readme.

We would need a “full screen” music mode for this to make sense. And for that to make sense I’d like to see something more than just a WiiMC logo dancing around – audio visualizations would be nice. So until that happens I don’t know if you’ll be seeing this wish granted.

[rodries]

If HBC wants to use IOS37 when installing then either: you’re not installing the latest HBC, or (more likely), you haven’t installed IOS58 correctly. Try deleting IOS58 using AnyTitleDeleter and reinstalling with the IOS58 installer.

This is not the appropriate place to be talking about USB loaders.

Topic Closed.

Files with more than one audio track work fine for me…

[rodries]

That is an unfinished (possibly never to be finished?) port of projectM. It’s not used. Congrats on compiling successfully!

I’ll speak from my perspective, but please realize there’s two of us working on WiiMC, both me and rodries:

Definitely not. I’m very busy with real life responsibilities. Personally I don’t plan to add any major new features, now or in the future. Just taking care of small bug fixes and minor improvements takes up more time than I really have. Basically WiiMC remains largely what it was at the beginnning and you won’t see a Version 2.0 forthcoming unless others get involved.

Of course I’m happy to coordinate the addition of new features coded by others (or even welcome new team members!), while ensuring these features maintain the overall quality and polish of the application. I know that jhb50 has been making small modifications to change the behavior of WiiMC to suit his liking, but when I’ve reviewed these changes in the past I haven’t agreed with most of the behavioral changes (although I’ve added a few :)). There have also been some other code contributions from others, and I don’t want to discount these and pretend they aren’t important.

However, there really haven’t been any volunteers who have asked to join the project and intend to dedicate themselves to the project like rodries and me. It would be nice to see someone add things like: movie covers and info, audio visualizations, enhanced online media, in-video menus, etc. There also haven’t been any volunteers to write documentation for the project – I’ve finally done some of the basics myself and posted it under Support > Documentation.

Community involvement is required to further an open source project – you can’t expect 1 or 2 people to be able to do the same amount of work as 10 or 20 can. I can’t say that I’m really surprised at the lack of involvement, but it’s still a little disappointing.

@jhb50

Yes I think your assumption is right – all widescreen TVs have that feature, and I don’t understand why someone would try to do this in WiiMC 😕

There’s already a search shoutcast entry under online media.
