    hrmmm seems to work fine for the most part, i am having problems getting the video to work. It will only play the audio part so far, ive tried switching the videos to flash and it still wont show em. other than that though program is exactly what ive been looking for.

    I got really excited and wanted to try this as soon as I get home...

    ... until I remembered I already have my PC hooked up via DVI-HDMI hookup to my TV.

    Ehh, I might try it still just to see if it works.

    I too got really excited.

    Then I remembered that my wii is hooked up to my HD monitor, which is somewhere right in the middle of my PC and my wii.

    Damn.

    A couple tips on making Orb works on the Wii.

    1. Get the latest version they released on friday, it's version 2.00.0814 and it fixes streaming of videos that were stuck on the first frame before. http://www.orb.com/download_orb

    2. You need to have the codecs right to play all your files in Windows Media Player. I recommand installing ffdshow, and there's a couple more codecs you need for .rm and .mov files: http://orb.com/codecs

    3. Make sure your firewall doesn't block your port 80 or 81, otherwise your streams will either not work at all, or go through the Internet instead of staying on your LAN. You can test this from the Advanced menu in Configuration from the Orb tray.

    4. If you still have problems, they're pretty responsive on their forums: http://forums.orb.com

    Hope that helps!

    Sweet! I'm getting this, right now!

    Although... I haven't actually gotten my wii yet, and my router isn't wi-fi compatible (and I mightn't be able to get an adapter for a little while) so... Uh... Yeah. :?

    So, has anyone gotten this to work directly over LAN with the Nintendo USB connector? What exactly do I need to do to make that work?

    My sister watched a ton of The Office by hooking her laptop up to the LAN, and it worked alot better than the stuff I've been getting on my Wii, over the internet.
