Use MKV files.Thanks alot for this. I actually use my Wii to watch shows on, from time to time. It's just convenient.
Wanted to give this fork a try but it instatly freezes at launch.
As soon as the UI shows up on screen it completely freezes the Wii.
I have a european Wii mini and am using a USB stick. Original WiiMC works fine, never had this issue there.
You misunderstood me. The app freezes immediately at launch. This fork of WiiMC (WiiMC-SSLC) immediately freezes, as soon as the UI shows up on screen.Use MKV files.
The maximum resolution a Wii supports at all is 576p. You need to downscale video files using a tool like Handbrake ('Very Fast 576p'). Modern graphics chips have hardware encoding of H.264.
Once enabled, you'll need to select the hardware encoder from the Video drop-down list. In the first instance, try to use H.264 High Profile.
Possible config file conflict.You misunderstood me. The app freezes immediately at launch. This fork of WiiMC (WiiMC-SSLC) immediately freezes, as soon as the UI shows up on screen.

Nah the app is just legit broken man. sorryPossible config file conflict.
The most recent version works on my NTFS drive. Have you tried it?please put ntfs support again i want to play dvd movie iso from sd/usb and fat32 isn't good for that
yeah i tried after posting. goodThe most recent version works on my NTFS drive. Have you tried it?
Wait, what? What about the guy saying it's broken? And me, where it just freezes at boot?The most recent version works on my NTFS drive. Have you tried it?
Do you mean it checks for configs in /apps/wiimc/ as well as /apps/wiimc-ss/ and that could be causing an issue?Possible config file conflict.
Yes.Wait, what? What about the guy saying it's broken? And me, where it just freezes at boot?

You were right. As soon as I renamed /apps/WiiMC-SS/ to /apps/wiimc/ it worked. Thank you!Yes.
Video in MKV container works better than MP4 container. You can swap container format using ffmpeg:You were right. As soon as I renamed /apps/WiiMC-SS/ to /apps/wiimc/ it worked. Thank you!
It does seem to be a bit unstable and prone to crashing, though.
For example, it doesn't seem to like some of my music's cover art.
Switching back and forth between different videos also seems to make it crash.
That Mexen fellow does seem like an unhelpful troll. The app does work, it's just not very stable.
Thanks!Video in MKV container works better than MP4 container. You can swap container format using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mkv
Switching videos does make it crash, yes.
Videos needs to be downscaled to 576p for stability ('Very Fast 576p' in Handbrake, High Profile H.264).
I'm running it overclocked on a Wii U, so there's never any frame drops.Thanks!
I usually use MKVToolnix for getting things to MKV and FFmpeg for converting stuff.
I could be wrong, but I'm under the impression WiiMC/WiiMC-SS doesn't like h264. Wether it's 576p or 480p. Frame drops are common and noticeable.
Xvid is a lot smoother, and can look just fine with a good codec (libxvid).
PS: Audio codec might also influence performance: AAC vs MP3.Thanks!

Buddie are your standards that low?, if it crashes constantly due to not being very stable, then it doesnt work.That Mexen fellow does seem like an unhelpful troll. The app does work, it's just not very stable.
