How can i make my Wii into a Media Center

Hey guys,

like the title implies, How can I make my Wii into a Media Center? I tried Orb(s) [tried many versions], but the video is slow and I can't find a fix for it. What else can I use to be able to stream video from my PC to the Wii using it's Internet Browser. I don't want anything that I have to jailbreak/mod/whatever my Wii.

Much Appreciated!

as in make it play videos and music?

well if you have iTunes you can put music on the Wii easily.

if you want Movies you'll have to go and search for a video converter that can convert Movies on your Computer (AVI, WMV, etc) to Wii videos.

It works. I got Pirates of the Caribean to work but it was only 5 mins of the movie though. You'll have to find a converter that'll convert the whole file AND you have to have an SD card that's 8 gigs or more.

oh and to do all of this you would have to go to the Photo Channel.

hmm guess i have no choice but to use the SD Card method hunh... [sigh] this sucks, but w/e, thanks again, I'll just leave my Wii to collect more dust til i get a new SD Card.

Or maybe you could use it to play games.

I tried using Winamp Remote and it seems to play a lot of the movies and music. You are able to play it through the Browser and its better than anything. Yeah I agree with the one poster about Wii not being right for a Media Center. It wasn't built for that sort of thing.

you kinda didnt pick the right system for media... I'd get a biig SD card and use that garrett_duffman

The same way you turn your TV set into an acoustic bass guitar.

If nothing on the Wii interests you then why the heck did you get into gaming?
