RTFM, folks...

To change chapters in NON-DVD media, you press OPTIONS, then go to the CHAPTER menu to select the chapter you want.

The new firmware just bricked my box. It rebooted to the WD splash screen and froze there. Tried to reset, but it did not work. Can't roll back either. Any suggestions other than buying a new box.

RMA it to WD.

I have one that was working fine and I just bought  3 more of these units so I started by upgrading the FW on all of them including my exisiting one. Now it takes forever to see my drives, will not see some of them at all, and a lot of themovies I had that worked no longer work properly (will not play or FF or RW etc)

So this FW update is a disaster. I am struggling to believe that WD could let this happen, I mean did they not test it first ?

Had been telling all my friends to buy these things but had to back that off fast and am now wondering if I should just return the units.

I see no mention of a fix anyone else know of something ?

You can roll back the firmware to a previous version fairly easily. Make sure that you download the correct version for the Plus.

Firmware Rollback

Considering WD now has a new range of media players, has there been any indication that WD are actively developing firmware for this box, or are they just stopping at 1.06.16 with all its flaws?

Mr WD: It would be nice to know, then I can stop coming back to the website to see if there has been any new releases.

There will be at least one more update.

Do you happen to know what is in the update? Also if this is the last update will the full source code for these units be released for those people that might want to find a used one to use as a test bed for making there own improvements?

I am still using the previous fw and I am so tired of getting the update message everytime i turn it on.  WD has had plenty of time to come out with a decent FW.

This is my first and last WD player.  I have others that are much better.
