My wii is currently on 4.0E using the yafaze ultimate virgin 4.0 softmod. I have only installed USB loader GX and cIOS rev13b, just to get USB working. All of that works fine, however, my wife has now asked me if it is possible for me to make the wii play xvid files. I said I would look into it and here I am
So, question, I don't want DVD playback and don't have DVDx installed, I don't even own a single DVD. What I want to know, is can Mplayer CE stream files from shared drives on my PC or do you have to use a USB2 device like a portable hdd or USB stick. Also, with xvid playback, is the program a viable replacement for say an xbox with XMBC or an xbox 360? The main thing it would be used for would be playing TV eps encoded in xvid format, approx 350 megs an ep.
Last question, unsure about installing it. I have read up on it and stuff but I am confused as to the hazards. I only have cios rev13b installed as ios249, nothing else. Can I install mplayer CE without bricking my wii?
Oh, one last thing, I also have a wiikey version 1 in there if that changes anything, back from the days b4 softmods.
If anyone can help, thanks guys!

I know you have to use Samba shares to get wifi working. I have no freaking idea how to use Samba. I am a windows only household, no linux, is there any way I can even get Samba shares running on windows or is it just impossible?
Looking at the issues page for MPlayer CE, it appears that from v6 and up, it's refusing to connect to Windows XP shares. So you may have to wait for an update if it doesn't work for you.desh_thiere said:Thanks, looking into it now. My wife is going to be very happy if I can make this work
well your'e obviously using some very off channel, as the app has auto chain detection anyway, so it will either return or restart.QUOTE said:I keep getting a code dump with 0.7 whenever I select "Quit" after loading it from a forwarder. Then it says Stack Dump and something about Reload in 8 seconds. I wait for 8 seconds, and then "reload" appears under the message, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

--------------------------------------------------
This version of player has possilibity to play files directly from FTP servers.
Also, it has a few SMB improvements.
Background: I have ASUS WL500W router with USB HDD atached. I was not able
to play movies from it, because player was not able to connect to SMB share.
Since router also has FTP server, and there are several good FTPs in
proveder's network, I developed FTP support to player. After picking
throught code, I also fixed SMB support.
Place all files to folder:
\apps\mplayer_ce\
as usual.
Configure ftp.conf for ftp access.
This version of player possibly? does not support
USB 2.0 mode and DVD playing, because I was not able to
compile that parts of code.
If you want to keep two versions of the player, place
all files to:
\apps\mplayer_ftp\
folder, but place ftp.conf to
\apps\mplayer_ce\
Changelist:
--------------------------------------
- FTP playback support;
- SMB now supports "User level share security" (required by WL500W router.
Older versions supported olny "Share level security");
- SMB now supports plaintex passwords (required by WL500W router);
- SMB cache behaviour fixed;
- SMB now supports files larger than 2GB;
- loop-wide.avi changed;
- smblib fix: _smb_read() can read more then 7306 bytes now;
