I have the same problem. I suspect it only happens while playing from my smb
share.

Hi. I have the same problem with SMB (by Wifi), but I have made some tests
trying to
obtain more data to diagnose:
1º Scenario:
I have disabled my emule client on the files server.
I have dissabled all process possible.
It results in a higly stable playback. (In 5 tests of mor than 1 h. the issue
dont appear)
2º Scenario:
I have enabled my emule client on the files server.
I have enabled all programs like before of the tests.
It results in an inmediate hang of my WII playing video. The imagen frezzes an
the Wiimote stop working. The only way to continue is switching off the WII.
Could this issue be raised when any buffer run out of data to continue the
playback
due to an unstable input flow?
I hope this data can help you.

Hi, I have experienced the black screen with the stuck feedback sound until you
power off the wii also. I just wanted to add my experience with this.
On version 0.3a - I can normally play back 1 entire xvid regardless of size or
duration without any issues. When I start a 2nd xvid immediately after the 1st
xvid
I usually get the black screen with stuck feedback sound at a random time in
the 2nd
xvid. I tested this 3 times, on different xvid's and was able to reproduce it 3
times (not at the same time in the clips, but I got the problem 3 times. One
time I
had to play back 3 xvid's to reproduce the problem).
If I play back an xvid, quit mplayer ce and go back into mplayer ce then I
cannot
reproduce the problem. I can only reproduce the problem when playing back
mulitple
clips in a row.
I hadn't noticed this while I was using 0.21d, so I decided to go back to
version
0.21d and I was able to watch 3 xvid's back to back on 0.21d without the freeze
up
(and have watched multiple xvid's back to back on a number of different
occasions on
0.21d)
I haven't tried versions 0.21e or 0.3 as you guys are too quick for me to keep
up
with all the releases! However, I will try to take some time over the next
week to
try out versions 0.21e and 0.3 to see if I can reproduce the problem in either
of
those versions.
I always watch everything over SMB, however I can also try testing it via SD or
USB
if this would help with the troubleshooting.
Last comment is that this is a superb app. Being able to stream all my xvid's
WIRELESSLY to my wii is the perfect situation in my opinion. The amount of
progress
you have made in such a short time is really awesome. This is truely the best
wii
homebrew out there in my mind.

I was able to test version 0.21e and 0.3 and I was able to reproduce the
problem with
both versions. However, I was not able to reproduce the problem with version
0.21d.
I believe this bug was introduced in version 0.21e
Just my 2 cents in case this helps any of the devs.

I can confirm that it also happens when playing from USB. mplayer-ce 0.3, Wii
3.2E.

I also confirm this. Curiously, MPlayerWii does exactly same thing. Maybe a
piece
of code taken from that project is responsible?

Same issue on 3.2E :(

I've just upgraded my wii to 3.4e since it seems everyone with this problem was
running 3.2E, I'll let you guys know in a hour or two if I still get the same
results.

Checked 2 40+ minute videos in a row and no problems whatsoever on 3.4E. Now
watching
my third and still going fine. I think it might have to do with 3.2E

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with what version your system menu is,
johnneke. I'm running 3.4U and I get the random crashes. I got them on 3.3U
before
I decided to upgrade, and I am pretty sure if I ran mplayer ce on my 3.2U wii, I
would still get them.

Well perhaps, but I had crashed nearly every single video like described here
before
upgrading (at LEAST once every 2 videos) and since upgrading I havent been able
to
replicate the problem. I was running version 3.2E with the tona shop update or
what
it is called so everything from 3.3E was working well. Now I just updated to
3.4E
with Nintendo update and no more problems. Do you have the exact same crashes
on your
wii with the same annoying sound that gets louder?
Original comment by johnn...@gmail.com
on 9 Mar 2009 at 7:23
Yeah, of course I do. The sound is a continuously repeating loop of the last
hundred(s) of milliseconds of audio from the file you were playing, accompanied
by a
black screen. Then the sound will suddenly increase in volume/pitch. The only
thing
to do is power off the wii by holding down the button or else it will just
continue
like that forever. I've gone out on errands while leaving a video on only to
come
back home a few hours later to see that it's been locked up and making annoying
noise
almost the whole time I was gone. Luckily, my cat doesn't seem to mind it.

Same thing happens to me too, crash with the high pitched noise. Freaks the
hell out
of my cats.

I've the same problem here, with 3.3E bios and the version 0.3a of mplayer-ce.
I'm
playing it through smb. I haven't proved it with a USB memory.

I suspect this has something to do with Mplayer... 'losing it's place' in the
file? I
don't know the technical term, but it just seems like a hiccup. Ever since I
installed the usb2.0 cios, it happens MUCH less frequently.

I have 4.0U, and mplayer_ce 0.5.
this also happens to me. Aditionally, I tried to watch The Tudors S03 TV Show,
the
only version available on net, with about 550 Mb each episode, and at some
parts the
video freezes and the audio does not stop. If O pass with 2x speed to a point
after
the problem, it works, but it happens again at some another point of the video.
My DIVX Philips DVD player DVP5100 plays it normally.

Oh, just an update, this happens on SMB or USB no matter where I watch the
movie.

Hi,
Wii: Newest version of cios 202 installed from the download page here.
Launching
mplayer ce from the homebrew channel.
PC: Windows vista sp2
Home Network: belkin wireless g usb stick on the vista pc to a linksys wireless
g
router to the wii.
I am using version 0.72 and I have a similar issue to the reports above. When
streaming a 700mb xvid file over smb eventually (unfortunately not at the same
spot
every time) the video will freeze. The last frame of the video stays on the
screen
and if you wait you can hear what sounds like high pitched, sped up audio.
While the
freeze comes at a random time I've tried watching the same file 3 times now and
it
always freezes at some point.
I've also tired this same file on 0.70 and 0.71 both freeze. Version 0.62
played the
file through without any freezes the one time I tried it.
Finally I was trying to get some more specific info to provide in this bug
report by
enabling the smb debug in the mplayer.conf but I can't find where this is
outputed.
Can anyone let me know or give me a better way to get some useful info? I'd
love to
help and try and track down what is causing this because I would really like to
make
this my main media player.
Thanks again for all the hard work.

Versions 7.x lacks of stability. SMB playing stops frecuently (to refill the caché)
and eventually freezes.
Version 6.2 never had a freeze and the SMB play never stop for me.
After trying deeply all the 7.x versions, now I'm using 6.2 again.
Good work!!! Keep on in this way!!!

I have been having similar issues. All my movies are vob files jioned into one
large
file which are stored on my usb drive. They play perfect on my pc but after 1/3
of
the way with mplayer ce they quit to the main menu of the player. cant figure
it
out. using the latest vewrsion of everything w/202 installed. cache buffer says
74%

I have this problem too. I've installed homebrew on both a NTSC-U and a PAL
wii. They
both freezes and crashes. It crashed around 30-90 min. into a divx movie on an
external usb drive. It's really annoying.

I am confirming the fact 0.62 won't freeze on smb playing divx. Only 7.x

This is my experience with the latest version (0.76):
I'm playing various media files from a FAT32 USB drive. Most of them are xvid,
though. If I start a file and let it go, it's fine. It'll play sequentially as
expected and everything...
However, as soon as I try to change streams by hand, it freezes. If I try to
stop the
playback, it freezes. If I try to quit back to the Homebrew Browser, it
freezes. If I
try to turn the Wii off, it freezes.
