I have to agree with this. Wii Miidia suffers from the same flaws in a way the previous version was alot more stable. I have looked into the wiimote libs used by Scummvm and HBC and they are better than what I was using before. GRRLIB was a bit buggy but the ones in libogc look to be a bit more stable. Freezing is still an issue and I am thinking it may have to do with the MFE code I had used. We are getting closer to the initial release, but it will be lacking alot of the stuff I intend to include later.

I seen a few really good ideas but just dont have the time to build them into the initial release due to the pressure I am still getting for a realease.

As for the question zanzi asked about why I took this on solo and not as a group effort is simple when I tried doing it as a group at 1st everyone told me it could not be done and that it was not worth their time. Now that the majority of the work is done people want to help but nobody was there when I was struggling from the start so why now? if they want to improve it after I release it and take the project over fine by me.

Edit: well I rephrase that, MFE work but it's more than Blury, so I can't see anything unless I'm using the composite cable.

this is something I honestly can not answer at this time. I have never even tested it with any cable other than the ones that came with the Wii. I will look into picking some up but chances are if it is an issue in MFE then it may pose an issue in Wii Miidia since alot of the video was based off of MFE

Why in 31th of June, June only have 30 days!
this is the URL:
User:F/Wii Miidia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thanks and sorry for my poor english...I'm sapinsh...lol

I have not posted anything to any wiki anyone who has posted any info to any wiki has been someone else as all of the updated information has been kept here. I have gotten the equipment to make a video for youtube just have to find time to do it. I was also given a really nice offer today that I really have to weigh out now. More updated info to come soon.

Also, are there any plans to include NSV streaming support?

Yes it will support both IP and DNS values for finding the shoutcast server so for example shoutcast.com or 192.168.1.2 would work just giving example yes I know it is a internal IP address for those who are going to start screaming about it.

As for the NSV streaming maybe in a future release if I do decide to keep the project like I mentioned in an earlier post I was given an offer that I really have to weigh out the options of. The initial release may end up being the only release due to the headache this has caused me.

Ok this thread was just getting way out of hand and I have decided to clean it up and try to put an end to all the nonsense. For those of you who were offering Ideas and had genuine questions thank you and for those of you who were not I don't really have anything to say. I ask that this thread is kept to honest suggestion and question not a flame war.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOME PEOPLE JUST IGNORED THIS POST AND STARTED POSTING BS AGAIN. LET ME SAVE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE SOME TIME. FIRST THE POSTS WERE NOT DELETED THEY WERE SIMPLY MOVED TO MODERATION. FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SIT HERE AND CRY FOUL OVER ME TRYING TO CLEAN UP THIS THREAD AND GET IT BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THIS. I HAVE MOVED EVERY POST THAT DID NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT MEANING TO THE PROJECT NOT JUST THE ONES OF PEOPLE BITCHING BUT ALSO THE ONES OF THOSE SHOWING SUPPORT. PEOPLE CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT ALL THAT THEY WANT AND I AM JUST GOING TO KEEP MODERATING POSTS THAT DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PROJECT. I COULD JUST TURN AROUND AND LOCK THIS THREAD BUT HONESTLY I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP AN OPEN LINE OUT THERE FOR IDEAS AND QUESTIONS ESPECIALLY NOW THAT MOST OF THE VIDEO CODE HAS TO BE REWORKED FROM THE GROUND UP.

I HATE THIS DAMN THING AND REALLY WANT TO JUST DROP IT OR TAKE UP THE OFFER I WAS GIVEN BUT I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO EVERYONE ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WERE WAITING PATIENTLY. I RAN INTO PROBLEM ALOT OF THE VIDEO WAS BASED OFF OF MFE AND HONESTLY IN WII MODE IT WAS SHIT SO THE MAJORITY OF ALL THE VIDEO HAS BEEN ME SPENDING TIME REWRITING THE CODE FROM SCRATCH. THIS IS WHAT IS HOLDING IT UP BEFORE I HAD MAJORITY OF VIDEO CODE PREMADE AND THOUGHT I WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO ADD TO IT AND DEBUG AND I WAS WRONG.

I AM WORKING ON THIS WHEN I GET FREE TIME AND RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT THAT MUCH WITH THE KIDS BEING OUT OF SCHOOL AND OTHER THINGS MORE IMPORTANT THAT DEMAND MY TIME.

Have you considered a Source Forge project?

The most common objection to oss is that it's hard to make money. RedHat and Suse make money on Linux by selling support. One previous post (don't know if it's still here) stated that you weren't interested in money, but wanted this project to be just a hobby, won't be big and
professional. For those of you too lazy to click through, this is a post from Linus Torvalds from when he was working on another project which kinda became a big deal.

Other objections to oss also relate to the corporate world. Security, stability, and accountability are all factors working against oss at times. However, this arguement works both ways. More people reviewing the code (as well as a host of other reasons detailed here: Why Open Source Is The Optimum Economic Paradigm for Software by Dan Kaminsky) means problems get fixed faster. Or in other words: The Law of Software Engineering: "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."

As for stability and accountability, everyone knows that loading custom code is not only risky but downright dangerous which is why it voids your Warranty. More to the point, dCiSo by restricting development you slow the development cycle and retain accountability to a single developer rather than sharing the load among the community.

As far as i know Wii Miidia is the only significant Media software in development from the Wii Homebrew scene right now. I have deep respect for anyone who put any amount of time into creating software for the Wii for everyone to enjoy. It is a very difficult task only a few people can master. I am a programmer myself, but i wouldn't know where to begin without a fool-proof toolchain. I hope to be able to do Wii software at some point, when the tools for it mature to a point where i can use it the way i use xterm and emacs under Linux.

Also, i hope that Wii Miidia will eventually surface as an open source project to ensure that it will have continued development. I can easily understand why dCiSo is keeping it secret so far. Any project needs to get to a certain level before it makes sense to either make a release or let anyone else help with development. At least that's how i see it.

I don't have any direct suggestions right now, but i really like the GeexBox project so perhaps you could check that out if you want some inspiration: GeeXboX HomePage

GeexBox is extremely simple in its design. Basically it just let's you browse your storage which lists any file it can play. Then you select it and it plays the file using the method that makes sense. It also plays shoutcast and DVD's, but i mostly see that as a secondary functionality. Everything is based on MPlayer as far as i remember.

Wow ll the posts are gone, but you are right this thread wa filling up with a lot of BS.

anyway I would like to express my gratitude (since my post was deleted) looking forward to Wiimiidia. Unfortunately I have no coding experience so I cant help.
Just hop you finish the video code quickly so we can try watching videos. and perhaps later expand the program with other features.

thank for your work!

Hello,

I just want to say that I just discovered today the existence of this project, and I am really excited to know that somebody in this world is actually working on such a project.

I won't add much, as I am pretty sure you are extremely busy with your real life and this project, but I just want to thank you on behalf of everyone who are patiently overlooking the project and wish you the best of luck on top of a mountain of patience

I got no question as of now (I'm pretty sure you receive a lot of them, I won't add more), so if you want to delete that message to clear up the topic, feel free to do so.

Good luck !
