Ahhh, ok, thanx for the info about the USB-keyboard (which I do not have ).

I will try and borrow one from a friend just to test it out, hehe.

any news on a upcoming version? maybe one with wiimote support (the rest works flawlessly for what I tested ) based on the new GC linux?

it looks like they updated it look at the first post. can someone upload it to megaupload or somewhere else that stupid fs2you link doesn't work i think you need to find a better file host that site is unreliable.

EDIT: here is this if anyone wants it

Great news!
Works excellent!

Once I found and edited SD:\GEEXBOX\etc\network and adjusted the settings there, playing files from samba shares worked great!

PS: I have a ninty USB lan adapter.

Thank you farter for porting this great app and thank you Geexbox developers. You're all great!

First of all, thx for this great job !
secondely, excuse my english ! i'm french and i have a school level

Well, my problem ! i can't syncro my wiimote with geexbox ?
i press 1&2 at loading, i repeat it when i'm in the menu but no syncro !

I've read the txt and all the explanation but ????

If someone has an idea ?

thx a lot

Could anyone tell me how to make WiFi working?
I've messed with etc/network but can't seem to make it work.

Ok for the wiimote guy just keep pressing one and two till then lights keep blinking and it rumbles it'll work after a while sometimes takes longer then others. Oh btw the LED won't light up when its connected to the Wii when using it.

Other guy Wi-Fi doesn't work yet so if you want internet you will have to use the Nintendo USB Ethernet adapter if you don't have it sorry I don't have it ether it sucks don't it

native Wii wifi doesn't work.

USB wifi doesn't work either.


USB ethernet devices should work, as long as it is supported by linux 2.6.24.4. It doesn't have to be the Nintendo one.

I have a USB Lan adaptor connected to my router as well...could you provide me directions on how i could use the Wii to access files on my computer??

Also i know currently it doesn't support native wifi (doesn't bother me, nothing beats hardwire) but any plan to implement this.

And please .SRT external subtitle support!!

It has subtitle support!
WiFi will depend on Wii-linux. When they implement it in Wii linux il will work in geexbox too.

As for shares and usb lan:

locate SD:\geexbox\etc\network file, open it with a GOOD text editor (metapad is free and works great - the files use linux line ending and opening them with notepad will ruin them).

In the beginning set it to look like this if you have a DHCP server or put your IP, GW and DNS inside.


Then at the end of the file set you windows shares:
user/pass protected shares on one win computer
STATIC_SMB="username<%>password<@>IP<&>myservername<#>share1<#>share2<#>share3"

read allowed shares on a win computer
STATIC_SMB="<%><@>IP<&>myservername<#>share1"

make sure that they are not preceded by a "#"

good luck!

thx for your answer !

I try what u explain me, but no result !

my wiimote doesn't syncro, the leds blinks ant then stop !

I keep the 1&2 button push 1 min, the leds stop and no syncro !

I don't understand how to do ??

thx a lot

Is your wiimote synchronized? Can you power up the Wii with it? If not, first synchronize it.
Make sure no other bluetooth devices are started in the vicinity.
I can't think at something else regarding the wiimote...

PS: i press 1&2 after geexbox is fully loaded and the wiimote vibrates for 2 seconds when geexbox recognizes it

Sorry ! i'm borring ....

My wiimote is synchronized ! and i can power up the wii !

I try everything and nothing !

If someone has an idea ??

well good night

Very nice.. I was wondering if someone was able to port xbmc to wii, but this is just as awsome.. dvd's work.. well the videots folder havent tested iso's yet..
But seems like when the wii is out of memory for streaming the geexbox freezes. maybe mount an partition for more streaming cache?
And changing settings like shares and stuff would be nice from the menu instead of the process unplugin my usb network adapter starting ftpii (else it crashes), uploading stuff, exiting ftpii, starting geexbox. that rly drives me crazy..
And offcourse some button to get back to the hb channel? Or isnt that posible cause it launches linux kernel?
A well so far the closest thing to xbmc
Keep up the good work!

Hey there kaesar, thanks for the guide but i have no idea what a sambas share..but what i do know is that the files are sitting on the hard drives of my computer ( i have several HDD) and the computer is connected to the same network. Having checked out Geexbox i can't find any "wireless" settings in the options/preferences....so yeah my question is, how do iset up a sambas share?

Also, here's my heads up..some bugs in this program.
A) takes quite some time to load from homebrew channel
B) wii remote takes 5 minute or so to synchronize..common fix this please..yes i realise i have to rpess 1+2 but shouldn't this be automatic like the homebrew channel?
C) It does not work on PAL 60HZ..i have to downgrade to 50HZ in order to get it working(on PAL 60hz the screen blickers ..and freezes)
D) Can i browse files on my network (usb lan adaptor to router ---> network)
