WiiCR logo - Image 1Most of you should be very familiar with WiiCR by now, so we'll be very quick about this. Jacob Jarick's media player solution for the Wii just got another upgrade, and has now been upped to version 0.3.2-RC5.

In case you're new to the Wii dev scene, here's a quick sit-rep: WiiCR turns your Nintendo Wii into a streaming media server capable of transcoding most video formats into the .FLV file format flash players use. It also functions as a JPG viewer and MP3 player - DS fans can consider this a bigger (and online-savy) cousin of their beloved Moonshell app.

Moving on to the changelog:

* Fixed video_objects not loading.
* 0.3.2-RC4 released
* Fixed dl filename issue
* Resolved text links not working with html op characters in lsdir by swapping to a form and using js to submit the link (icons1 only atm).
* Improved shoutcast support (will give preference to urls using port 80 and no path).
* Added asx movie file extension list (asx's will play now).
* Users can now restrict directory access by listing the full path to the directory in restricted.txt

Now, for the guys who are having problems uploading the bundle's contents (it's admittedly fiddly for newcomers) we advise checking out the dev team's installation wiki, available at the source link. Given the sort of strides we're looking at for the Wii's DVD player, expect apps like this to get a lot more use in the near future.
