What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

While I think this also applies to when a Wii remote reconnects after being idle too long, the DTM files don't play back when a Wii remote is connected. In Sonic and Sega, the game disconnects the second player Wii remote when you're in the menu and doesn't let you reconnect until you enter the player select screen. Because the replay file doesn't keep track of when the Wii remote is reconnected, the replay will always desync at the player selection screen. It technically is possible to record the input, but a save state has to be made after the player selection to play it back correctly.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Start recording a replay with 2 Wii remotes connected and go to the player selection screen, pick a character with the second Wii remote and then try playing back the input.

Indeed, this is not properly handled. I'm not sure if this is fixable without redesigning the DTM format, so I don't think we can expect a fix any time soon, unfortunately. I'm definitely accepting this issue, though.
