Spacejump is right, use alpha 3, unlesss your using alpha4 with a 1gb--- SD Card.


Alpha 3 is more reliable on all SD Card 2gig under!
I assume you were getting the Quashie error>?

ever feel like this is a puzzle game and you get told the answer to one puzzle and get stuck the next.


i installed alpha3. It runs okay but then my wiimote doesnt work so i cant select anything. restart the wii and wiimote works fine. rerun alpha3 and it goes off again.

Press a button and it will auto sync, the LED's don't show up

pressed every button, nothing happens, had to restart using the power button on the wii


i get a blue screen with the geexbox logo
geexbox for wii
open
controls
preferences
options
help
reboot
quit


open is selected and no amount of button pressing can either advance this or change the selection

The enter button in GeeXboX is right on the Wiimote's d-pad, not A. Btw, I still use alpha2 which I find the most stable.

Thanks for the tutorial djdynamite123!

Was not working initially and I realised I was using a different 0.07 version. Used the latest one uploaded by Rodries and all was well!

To everyone using this, remember to use the latest DOL by Rodries and your problems might be solved!

It isnt Mac friendly, you may need to email Rodries, he posted his email a few posts ago!

Yea I saw that post. In that case maybe I'll just leave it as it is and stick to Wii Transfer for Mac.

the problem for wii transfer to mac is you have to convert the files which is a pain

True to that. But there are always pros and cons to everything. Just have to live with it I guess.

few things that helped me with my issues with the wii connecting but not stuck at the wii ip address screen. Firstly, using the username in the start menu like on your picture didn't work for me but i used the name like it was displayed in the path bar for shared folders on my other computers, it was either a combination of the computer name and name, or just the computer name.

The 2nd thing i fixed was going into my registry and going to local machine -> system -> current control set -> services -> netbt -> parameters and deleting the DCHPnode and NODE keys. For some reason these keys make file sharing really buggy not just on the wii, but from computer to computer too. After doing this i can stream files flawlessly from both my desktop and my laptop via wifi with the exception of files randomly not working because of codecs. Hope my post helps anyone who has similar troubles to me

A new version to test samba
If all goes fine I'll commit changes to google code.
mplayerwii ntlm fix

I have been having problems with MPlayer since setting it up. No, no problems getting an IP. What would happen is I would select the share, it would flash something for a millisecond, then go back to the menu. I tried everything with original version in this posting and was unable to get it working. My shares work fine, thouhg, through my laptop but did not work from my Wii.

Once i used the linked DOL in your above posting everything works great! I am able to browse and see the files, and the files run! Now (as soon as wifi gets more stable) I will be able to get rid of my laptop to watch movies and TV shows!

Thanks so much rodries and Dynamite!!!!!!!!

No problem matey, btw use this .dol it's by far the best

MPlayerWii r20 modified by AgentX (r3)
Changes:
If your file has a 2.35:1 ratio and you want to make it fit the screen, press 1. If your file has a 4:3 ratio and you want to stretch it to fit the screen, press 2. To return to default press 1 and 2 together.
Tries to distinguish between audio files, video files and other files. If you select an audio file it will play continuously through the folder. Press B to play next file. Selecting a video will just play the individual file. Any other file will not be recognized and not play (avoiding crashes).
A patch file is included. Source is very hacky. With thanks to DCelso & Qualith for code for continuous play.
Known bugs:
Using B to select next file is very touch and go. I think this is a problem with mplayer not freeing memory properly so I can't fix it until I work out how to compile.
Thanks to rodries for constantly updating mplayerwii, samba improvements are much appreciated!
Download (code patch included): MediaFire
Note: Also includes the added support for DVD, SDGecko, and SDHC access.
