A Wii, connected to a home network.
The Homebrew Channel
, loaded properly onto your SD card.
On your computer, you'll need to install VLC
, a small but full-featured media player.
You'll also need to find the local IP address of the computer(s) you want to stream from.
To do this, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig." This gives you your IP address. Write it down!
Now, open the "mplayerwii.conf" file on the SD drive, and add a line that looks like this:
"stream = http://
[your ip address]:8080/"
So, my line would look like this:
"stream = http://192.168.2.2:8080/"
Save that file, put the SD card into your Wii, and load MPlayer from the Homebrew Channel.
