Are you kidding? You don’t think we’re already using the GPU?
rodriesKeymasterIt’s not a cost in development, it’s a cost for performance and stability.
rodriesKeymasterOf course, you get 480p instead of 480i. Component cables make a big difference.
rodriesKeymasterSomeone else may have more to add, but here’s some quick thoughts:
I’ve heard something about that kind of crashing possibly being related to your router configuration. See here:
http://code.google.com/p/mplayer-ce/issues/detail?id=582&can=1Secondly, WiiMC also has the 8 second reload (in fact rodries was the one who wrote that feature!). But it’s not activated (for any app!) if the crash is bad enough. This is often the case of a lower level crash involving hardware.
rodriesKeymasterUse your PC.
rodriesKeymasterNo, it’s purposefully disabled because it’s not possible with MPlayer to FF some types of streams over HTTP.
rodriesKeymasterNo, the reason why you can’t just play a “folder” is because what happens when you leave the folder? Does it keep playing from the folder you left? the new one? Or what? So any way you slice it, you have to make a list.

Are these special flags in the SVN’s yet? I would like to do this compile together with my patches.
No, it’s not just a matter of flags. There’s some issues in libogc and newlib that need to be addessed. Both of those are outside of this project and will be released in due time.

Also what about these various USB changes. Are they in the SVN’s? Here is why I’d lke to know.
No. The USB changes are not finished. When they are, they will be committed to libogc.

Based on the posted test results which seemed to work, I purchased a Seagate GO 500GB Portable USB drive. Since my SD Socket is broken, I cannot run the test, but with SVN742 this drive boots WIIMC correctly from any number of apps subdirectories and settings are written back correctly. (Note there is a 40+second delay while loading from USB – Is this part of the target fixes?). Since my Enclosure/Hitachi Drive will only boot if there is a single apps subdirectory, the new GO drive appears satisfactory. My concern is with the subsequent USB changes being made. If they impact the function of this new drive then I need to return it and get a drive that works..hence my need to compile and test WIIMC with the latest USB changes(since I can’t run the test with a broken SD card) to see if the GO drive still works.
Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated.
Can’t help you with compiling with the “new” changes – these changes aren’t finished yet! There’s nothing to compile yet – be patient! But what I can tell you is that the goal is to get more USB devices working, not less. If your drive already works on WiiMC using IOS58, you have nothing to worry about. Compatibility will only get better, not worse. That’s the point of taking the time to run tests while making these changes, to avoid a situation where we fix some devices while breaking others.
Delay time might be somewhat improved, but remember that your drive is spinning up. A delay also occurs when plugging into a PC too while you wait for it to spinup and Windows to detect it.
rodriesKeymasterWhat you’re saying makes no sense. There is no such restriction. When you configure the share in WiiMC, are you typing MoviesDvd as the share name? Because in that case the share is just “Dvd”
rodriesKeymasterDid you have the 1.6 channel installed before, or some other version? Old versions of the channel forwarder are incompatible, which is the known reason for hanging on “Loading…”.
Were you just having problems using the installer because it requires HBC running under IOS58?
Are you saying you didn’t alter the channel at all, you just installed it a different way?
rodriesKeymasterHow did you fix it?
rodriesKeymasterThis would need to be added to libogc, not WiiMC specifically.
rodriesKeymasterThat sounds more like an NTFS issue than a USB related one, but I can’t be sure.
rodriesKeymasterIt looks to me like these links use rtmp, which is not supported.
rodriesKeymasterI’m already seeing far improved performance out of my USB LAN adapter when WiiMC switched to IOS58 and a tweak was made to libogc’s USB 2.0 code for LAN adapters.
Regardless, DVD VOBs play fine for me on both Wifi and hard-wired, with just a little bit of buffering at the start.
