SAMBA... an almost magic word, that makes you dream. Use the network made available thanks to the Wii's wifi
in order to share, or rather... to access the files that are on your PC.



The first reaction is to use google to find information about SAMBA.
Big mistake... with SAMBA, google sends you to linux then to the existence
of a PC version that remains impossible to find.



Forget all that! Because unless you're on linux, the only things you need are:
a mouse, a keyboard, an SD, the right homebrews :mrgreen: and no SAMBA at all.

Tested on a Wii <-> Windows XP network



Warning, this tuto isn't meant to explain to you how to use these homebrews
but only to help you set up network access



Homebrews to be tested soon: Wad Mananger GUI/Lan Edition


# These homebrews happily use Hermes' cIOS202 so start by installing it, that way it'll be done: Hermes Tuto

Same principle. Enter the values between the quotes right after the = sign. If you don't have a password, you still need to put a space between the quotes (unlike what the screenshot shows). I haven't tested with share names with a space.

Well thanks for this tutorial, all that's left is to start over from the beginning ^^ and try again, but could you tell me if this also works on Vista 64Bit Home Premium Edition? and does it also work if you install cIOS 202 Installer v0.7?

Ok no worries, I have another question, is it mandatory that the shared folder(s) be at the root of a PC hard drive? or can the folder be anywhere on the PC? thanks in advance.

Doesn't matter. Any folder can be shared. Then again I know there are 2 ways to share folders. The simple one where you tick a box, click and it's shared, and the other with advanced settings. I tested with the simple one. I activated it on the first share and I don't know how to go back to an advanced version to run tests.

Do you have version 0.75 of mplayer CE?

I don't know if you noticed but caching takes 3 seconds when you start a video that's on the HDD and at least 10 seconds via wifi (samba or ftp). It's the fault of the wii's very poor wifi throughput.
Other than that I don't know, there's stutter and stutter. Even via the hdd some videos stutter a bit and others play fine. Probably because of the codecs.

Yes I do have the latest version of MPlayer, but what's weird is that with WiiXplorer it recognizes the connection directly whereas MPlayer has a lot more trouble, or maybe I messed something up somewhere, and about the stuttering let me explain, I had started a movie so from Mplayer (SMB) the start of the movie plays fine, I made myself a little coffee then I come back and I see the picture is frozen, I hear sound for 2 seconds then nothing.

As for the difference between wiixplorer and mplayer, it might be a matter of code or cios used.
Does it also freeze if you watch the same avi but on a fat32 partition?

mplayer has a bug too.

change log:

Version 0.75
- Added FTP support (thanks to hax)
- Added NTFS support for USB and SD (thanks to Shareese)
- Improved SMB speed
- Hope for definitive eradication of the bug that freezes media playback
- Fixed a sound bug when loading another track

No I hadn't had the problem when I watched that same movie on my External Hard Drive, well we'll see with a little update, otherwise for now only WiiXplorer works correctly via SMB, so I'm struggling with MPlayer and the emulators that use SMB.

I haven't tried Mplayer or Snes9x but I tried with WiiXplorer and I can't get it to work :(

But I did manage to get Wad Manager Lan Edition working. My problem, my firewall!! No more getting up, grabbing the SD, copying, safely removing, putting the SD back in. :D :D What a time saver!!

What did you put in the config file?
a new version of snes9x GX 4.1.0 was released with a fix for samba if I understood correctly.

I tested the latest version too and it still doesn't work, well actually I shared a folder named wiismb with inside it the folder snes9x and inside that one the folder roms, I put some roms in it, I configured the emulator with my PC's IP, the username, the password, and as the share name the name of the folder I created first wiismb that's what I did, I don't see why it doesn't work when I have no issues at all with the rest now.

You can also share the roms folder, it's not a problem, then configure samba, I think that should do it.

nah nothing to do with it... this tutorial explains how to configure MPlayer CE (media player), WiiXplorer (file explorer copy/paste/delete) and snes9x (Snes emulator) to access your pc or a server via the Samba feature.

Good evening,

1) Is it possible to watch a video streaming via Mplayer ce 0.75 by going through vlc on your pc.

2) With the internet channel can you also watch streaming videos because with megaupload

it redirects to ads.

Thanks for your answers
