I got my wii yesterday. and I got the opera browser for it. I immediately thought about streaming video from my pc to the wii. I found a web server for XP that converted to .flv on the fly and had a nice interface, and you use Opera on the Wii to view the video, but the video was choppy on the wii. it's either a bandwith issue or memory issue, and anyway, the view-size of the video is limited by opera. it would be much better in a dedicated video client, I wonder if someone can port VLC to the Wii...
That's pretty sweet, didn't know there were webservers that transcode to flv that easily.
Youtube works great for me over wifi on the Wii, but their player buffers a lot and then plays.. is that how that webserver was working?
here's the webserver I tried out: http://www.weezo.net/
I'll try some youtube tonight, this web-server was playing the videos pretty immediately, not much buffering at all, which is probably the problem.
