HD video on SMB stutters and loses right side of screen #763

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
When a video is opened through an SMB share with a high bitrate (eg. 
~4000kbps), it plays very slowly and the right quarter of the screen doesn't 
work.  In the non-functioning section of the screen, it will stretch whatever 
colours are displayed directly to the left of it out in straight lines to the 
edge of the TV.  I have had this occur with .mpg and .mp4 files.
I'm using version v0.77 r590 with, I believe, the latest HBC.  
Any ideas?

Lol. Why would you make the wii play HD videos anyway? The wii's max output 
resolution is 480p that's EDTV not HDTV.

HD is 720p and up.

IF the wii can play those videos from usb, then check your network.

The wii's wifi adapter is a 802.11b/g this is a 54Mbps adapter.
On a 54Mbps network the MAXIMUM THEORETICAl speed is 54MBit per second, in 
practice this is 30Mbps, and that is in half duplex.

And Now I'm guessing that the computer you have your smb shares on are also 
connected via wlan.

Since wi-fi is radio signals, that means all devices must wait for their turn 
to communicate with the access point(ap). That leaves half of the practical 
bandwidth(bw) for your computer to send the data to the ap, and half the bw for 
the ap to send the data to the wii.

Now. IF there's only this computer and your wii connected to the wlan, that's 
15Mbps of actual data being transmitted to the wii. Even less if there are more 
computers using the wi-fi.

If there are devices below the b/g standard, the ap will make all connections 
11Mbps.

Check your wireless network for devices making your ap go down to 11mpbs, 
because that would be devastating for streaming video...

But you probably know all this technical stuff, so I won't bother you...

When I whatch a SopCast HD channel on mi Wii the same problem appears. The 
right quarter of the screen doesn't work fine.  

Connecting the wii by Ethernet will solve the problem?  thaks a lot!
