I can see all my songs that I dragged into my music folder on my Wii, but nothing will play, or add to my playlist for that matter. It works flawlessly on my computer, but I'm hardpressed to believe that Red Kawa included this feature if it wasn't ready yet... :confused:

Also, the photo viewer doesn't seem to resize my images, so I had to manually resize them on my computer to 640x480, anyone else figured out if that is what the pictures have to be at?

And videos... why did they decide to make it widescreen? Videos I get off of youtube are all in 4:3, so what's the deal? Anyway to change it?

All in all, I like the software and look forward to updates (at least until nintendo releases a channel dedicated to stuff like this).

I have working music on my wii, but not with red kawa's software. Also, the problems people are experiencing with video crapping out seems to be happening to music too. I don't think it has anythign to do with the players or the files being played, but rather the opera browser. Upon loading an MP3 it buffers really slow. I believe this is the wii trying to allocate memory to the buffered file, or rather opera trying to do it.

Go load some web pages and see for yourself... Load the same page 10 times and each time you will get vastly different results. Google 10 times on a pc loads pretty much the same every time, but on the wii it differs for some reason. I think it's typical beta software at it's finest.

If anyone wants tips on what i did to get music working I will post a walk-through soon.

I haven't had any problems with videos dropping, either online (bandwidth allowing) or via kawa's server.

Make sure that your wireless router is set to channel 11 for best speed and make sure your Wii has the most recent updates applied.
