mycast.orb.com — I've tested streaming Recorded TV, Music, Divx shows, and Pictures all from Http://mycast.orb.com to my Nintendo Wii. Set the player default to Flash / Check Open in a new Window. Cover Art is displayed full screen while you are streaming music. You need the orb service installed on a local machine that has access to your library. Give it a try!

I liked how you couldn't find the Wii Browser channel in the beginning :)

You're right, it still does go outside your local network.It's great for external media, but I have to use Tversity for internal stuff.

Having a PS3 doesn't mean you're spoiled... It means you're willing to spend a bunch of money on a video game console that doesn't have any good games out for it currently.

This is freaking fantastic. Now I can watch video from my PC without needing to convert and copy to SD format.My PC has now become even more of a TiVo than it was before. :-D

@mobilehavoc Even that is piss-poor streaming, bad controls, horrible interface, plus several formats either don't work or horribly stutter, and it still garbles CPU. Regular Xbox Media Center works MUCH better than that POS, so don't get on a high horse. That's one thing M$ did right,. Oh wait, no they didn't... that was the home brew community. My bad.And I can store/play the files locally, NO loss of quality :D.P.S. I'm sorry your internet sucks :).

I just stumbled across Orb while on the Gamefaqs forums this morning and after setting up a static ip and some port forwarding on the host pc, i got it to work with Wii Opera just fine. All the Divx/Xvid files I've tried with it work, although they stutter a little. This EASILY makes up for the Wii's lack of an expansive storage medium and media playback capabilities (though i still would like a way to listen to my ipod's songs while actually playing a game, a la 360).The future of my use of this program is looking rosy. According to Wikipedia the full version of the Wii browser wil be released in April (and still free until June!), and will allow the user to hide that god-awful nav-bar, allowing full-screen playback.

You can turn that navigation bar off in the free version of Opera at anytime. Go to the control settings and change the toolbar display to "button toggle". You will then be able to toggle the nav bar with the 1 button off and on as you please. When you point the Wiimote pointer off the screen for a few seconds, the Orb nav bar will disappear as well, giving you full screen.Too bad the quality sucks.
