Firmware release frequency

[ Edited ]

Does anyone know how often a new firmware firmware is released for WD LIVE products?

 

Thanks

Re: Firmware release frequency

Check the ANNOUNCEMENTS section of the community.   You'll see all the release dates for all the products back to about 2009.

Never... This product is finished.

Re: Firmware release frequency

Why would this be a "finished" product?

Yep that's how I see it as well. Only the HUB and SMP seemed to be supported at this point. I don't expect any new firmware for G1 G2, LIVE or LIVE PLUS products in the future.

Well, yeah, the G1 and G2 were moved to "Legacy" status long ago.

 

The Live and Live+ haven't... at least, yet...

I don't think that firmware support is over yet...Bill_S (the forum community manager) has said a couple of times in the 'Request Official Response'  thread that he thinks there will be at least one more firmware release. In that same thread he also stated that if firmware support will stop he would let us know. Hopefully, WD will fix some of the major issues before abandoning firmware support.

 

Here is the thread that I referred to:

Sorry my bad... I put this topic in a wrong forum area. I actually was referring to WD Live SMP.

 

I hope for getting quality firmware on this product.. yeah..  I'm naive...

I'm very confident that there'll be more updates for the WD TV SMP.  :smileyhappy:
