New Release - My Book Live Firmware Version 02.11.09-053 (4/23/12)

I just applied the update via the WebUI, the download and install went fine, then the reboot just hung forever. I risked pulling the plug on the device and fortunately it re-started and the WebUI was able to re-establish a link. First time experience of a firmware update glitch, think I'll be more cautious next time.

Seems like nice update. Thank you WD! 

My question is, will MBL ever sleep if remote access is enabled?

[barrygreybeard]

yes it will sleep,  I updated earlier this afternoon after which is slept for almost 3 hours until I needed to watch something, media server and remote access activated, but no itunes and no pictures shares on the drive.

I'm guessing that the Web UI is working asynchronously with the firmware update process and it's possible the Web UI gets out-of-sync with the upgrade processes, or under certain circumstances can do.

I now invoke the upgrade process directly from the Linux command line and the upgrade process for me has been absolutely fine so far.  Performing the update process and bypassing the Web UI just removes it from the upgrade process.  One less to go go wrong.

I initially received four error messages in a row that the update had failed. However, the device now reports it has the current firmware. I suspect the install package may not be checking carefully enough to determine what has already been installed. I have advised WD via trouble report reference is 120425-004734.

i upgraded last night.  I was on the november 2011 firmware, the first of the 2.10 . I did the "live" update from the dashboard/settings/updates screen.

Took over a minute to download, sat at 10% for 2 minutes, 50% for 2 minutes, then 70 and 90 for two minutes, then reboot.  So, total time was about 8 minutes, no issues.

I did try to launch netflix on my tv during the end of the install and it wouldn't launch until the reboot was finished, I think it may have been the router trying to assign the IPs.  But once dashbaord came back up the TV app launched.

Anyway, I wasn't having issues before, and I'm not having any now.

Two drives updated and the world is still turning...

To be completely fair, I should have been clear in asserting that the update seems to work fine, notwithstanding a minor bump on the road arising from what, in hindsight, I suspect was likely a false error message.

Is there ayuone who tried to install minidlna on the WD my book live with upgraded firmware?

I'm getting a lot of errors during install procedure. On the previous firmware release I was able to start minidlna...

Please let me know what's your experience.
