- more work towards p-i.
- included test.pl for linux / osx users for testing if settings from config.pl are being bought across.
- removed several redundant vars from config.pl
- no longer need to edit index.pl when installing / upgrading.
- Vandals
- Some people have been asking whats with the vandalism attacks lately, well its just one individual his name is roto and he resides in #Wiidev on efnet, feel free to pop in and ask this colourfull character what his major malfunction is. Im guessing he is just lonely and craves attention in any form.
- Sourceforge Hosting
- We will be completely shifting to sourceforge soon due to ever increasing bandwidth demands (30th of december we recieved 2500 hits and 1gb of download traffic).
- 0.2.8.2

- WiiCR checks so see if mp3 exists before loading from m3u
- no double ups in playlist anymore.
- 0.2.8.1
- playlist editing broke on 0.2.8, fixed.
- updated all themes to support new playlist setup.
- cleaned out some redundant html in index.pl.
- Aurion updated vidplay.tpl, fixing some more of my infamously messy html code.

- unofficial wiicr for mac osx by btermini
- I am btermini and I created this it is not as good as the real wiicr but its about all I can do. I hope the wiicr team can work off it and make it work better.
- It has mp3,flv,image, and flash suport.
- Here is the link to the file- Click here or the Mirror

- no longer copies files to view / play (jpg/mp3). We now are using Navarr's fileget.php.
- ogm and mkv support added (still basic level, no subtitle selection).
- themes adjusted to support new pic display method.
- troll attack
- A sad loser trashed our wiki last night, Most likely the troll roto in wiidev (or some1 equally pathetic). A supposed coder that has released nothing for the Wii and tells all other oss coders they wont be able to do their projects. Roto is actually the 1st outspoken critic of WiiCR, claiming that it was completely impossible, no way to stream flash movies to your Wii. With WiiCR getting better each day, poor fools like roto (who have no claim to fame) the only thing they have left todo is sling shit @ succesfull projects in jealousy.
- 0.2.7.1a
- medium quality encoder options added.
- fixed small bug in vidiframe code (was jumping to 2nd segment).
- 0.2.7.1
- zelda theme 0.2 added.
- added new themeing capabilitys without breaking old themeing.
- After suggestions and new enc settings from LS5 we now play video in an iframe for icons1. This increases preformance on the wii side.

- Zelda theme included.
- swapped to mencoder for encoding (see howto).
- we now have sourceforge hosting also.

- url has changed point your browser to
http://!ip!/wmc/
- Through some crafty js Ive managed to get some videos to play through for over 30minutes. It still plays in segments but at least now it plays each segment properly.
- the default apache.conf has been updated make sure extract it from the rar as well. Some people if on a weird lan ip will need to edit the file and add their ip range.
- only icons1 theme is working fully atm due to no longer using vidplay.html an instead using vidplay.tpl, this is easily fixed, but I will leave for some1 else todo atm.
- the mp3 copied page now redirects you to the mp3 player.
- config.pl has been cleaned up yet again + some new options.

- I'll make a release tomorrow when Im not so tired.
- 28/12/2006 - encode.pl tweaks
- Ive tweaked the settings some more and I am having alot of success with the settings below. Video quality isnt superb but segments in the playlist do play one after the other.
################## # ffmpeg options # ################## # encoding options $enc_opts = "-ab 56 -ar 44100 -s 320x240 -r 25"; # length of video segments in seconds. $duration = 6 * 60;
- 28/12/2006 - 0.2.4
