New Release - Firmware Version 1.06.15_V for the WD TV Live (8/9/11) [ Edited ]

[le6emeelement]

I have a great wd tv live with big potential, but not worhing since 8/9/11

Consider downgrading!

I'm fairly happy with my 1.05 installation, some minor stuff but mostly happy.

Why do you say this? Bill has told us that there will be at least one more release. To me, this means that the s/w team have produced a candidate build & it is going through the test phase before being rolled out. If problems are found during the test phase then the process takes a little longer & believe me debugging embedded Linux applications is no walk in the park.

I see no reason why anyone would tell Bill that there will be another release if this isn't so.

I would also expect that many of the software subsystems in the live are common with the other devices, so if there are problems that require fixing on those devices, they may well influence the decision of when/what to release in the next release for the Live.

I'm as eager as the next person to get a new version of firmware in my Live, but I would urge you guys to have even more patience.

Bill_S,

Look, I think everyone on this forum appreciates your input as it seems to be the only source of news on the WD Live.

Probably most people on this thread are primarily interested to know when the next firmware will be released, and what it might contain. We look to you as the only person with potential to provide these answers, but your recent posts are obtuse and seem to dodge around this issue. It has been 8 months since the last firmware, which was so broken most people can't use it. Now it has been 4 months since we started getting tantalising snippets from you about the arrival of a fix, yet nothing materialises. People are naturally hoping for a solution but patience is running thin. I hope you can report that issue to the engineers and provide us with feedback.

You probably think obtuse means vague, but just one definition I found defines obtuse as "Lacking quickness of perception or intellect. Characterized by a lack of intelligence or sensitivity: an obtuse remark."  Are you calling me stupid on top of being vague?  I'm definitely being vague.  But I'm not obtuse.

Maybe oblique?  How about obscure?  Or are you just obfuscating?  Seriously, it can't be much fun being on the front end of WD.  They don't help themselves or you (or us).  But I still say, take your time and get it right.  How many users would exchange all the dodgy firmware updates they've had in the past for one good decent one?

[Bill_S]

Haha... Keep trying.  I've got to be one of the "ob's...."

[ikbaa]

I See the other players get a "special release" just for mlb-tv fix  whatever that is.. what do we get [deleted] all as per lol

[ledan]

No more waiting...replaced with Patriot PBO Alpine that is available today

I don't have time to read the last 63 pages. Which is the "best " firmware version to be on for this device currently? As in most stable, least buggy, and least regressions. Thank you.

Hi,

I have been using the last one (1.06.15) since it came out.

I my WDLive every day, mainly movies (my daughter is addicted to disney movies...) and I have never had any problem, no reboots, nothing people writes on the forum. I know a lot of people use other features or in another way and they complain, but for me it's perfect.

Regards
