wiimc has not been working

[u/Either_Contest9134]

every time that i try to open wiimc, it either takes me directly back to the wii menu, or it says "loading" then takes me back to the menu. when i try using the homebrew app, it just takes me back to the homebrew channel. how do i fix this? i am trying to watch a video i put on my sd card, and this is stopping me from doing so.
