Not being about hacking, I split the topic.

I assume you're referring to this Logic-Sunrise article: The Wii U streams all MP4 videos thanks to HTML5 and a PC

Contrary to what their title suggests and to what I could see in the demonstration video, there isn't a hint of an HTML 5 tag in this method.

Setting it up couldn't be simpler, you just need to install a web server on your PC such as Wampserver and put your .mp4 files there.

Ok as you say it's really very simple but when you don't know anything about it

it's not necessarily easy

I did try to find tutorials but it's gibberish to me

I just want to know how you put the videos lol

I know I'm asking a lot

Thanks anyway

You can start by going to the Wampserver site and downloading one of the offered versions.
Install it then go to the "c:\wamp\www" folder.
There you rename the "index.htm" file to 0index.htm and copy your .mp4 files into this folder.
Once done, left click on its TrayIcon to switch to "online" mode.
All that's left is to know your pc's ip address, enter it in the Wii U's web browser and it's good.

Ok so I created a new 0index.htm folder

And I tried a file in there in MP4

Awesome it works great

I did it with a laptop on wifi awesome

However I wanted to do it with my desktop pc on ethernet and I can't connect to it with the wii u

I did everything the same and my wamp icon is indeed green so I don't get it

I have vista 64 on it

I don't have the Wii U, I couldn't tell you.
However, if it works between your laptop and your console, there's no reason it shouldn't work between your desktop and your console, unless Vista...

It shows me a blank page saying Forbidden

Where did you put your videos (the full path) and what address are you typing into your browser's address bar?

That's exactly what I thought, you misread my explanations, index.htm is a file which in this case is named index.php, so you can rename your folder to something more stylish (i.e. videos).

What do you consider a normal ip address? 127.0.0.1?

no don't worry I didn't misread your explanations

There I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it works

I didn't touch the index.php

I created a new folder to put everything in and perfect lol

So there, now everything works on my 2 pcs all that with a reinstall of Wampserver

Well I don't know if we should close the topic or leave it for those who have the wii u

Anyway if needed you can contact me now

And also one thing I tested a .avi file converted to MP4

Awesome the quality on the wii u tablet compared to my 82cm flat screen which is just HD

Seriously so impressive nintendo
