New Release - Firmware Version 1.06.16_B for WD TV Live Plus (8/2/11)

Tversity also stopped working for me so I had to roll back. Too bad as I wanted to check out Hulu Plus.

I'm ready to throw this WD out with the trash. Turns out that the automatic update for my Live Plus installed Live HUB update 2.07.17!!!!!!!

I'm assuming I now have to delete everything and start from scratch.

Netflix will only 'retrieve' a quarter of the way and then stop.  When you back out and try and get to the Home page of the WDTV, it locks up.

Is this  a kind of a joke??

What about network fix for Mac OS Lion? The most important bug in all your network devices.... You release a new firmware without fixing this major problem? What a shame... :/

Just upgraded to new firmware, now my wd tv live plus dosen't see my external hd. I had to restore older firmware.

Exactly same issue here with a Dlink DWA-125, just stop working after upgrade to 1.06.16_B. The led in the dongle doesn't turn on anymore.

I also need to rollback firmware.

Update via internet.

had an issue were some content menus would refresh over and over and lockup. had to unplug unit to gain control back. after resetting unit to defaults issue seems to have cleared.

further testing is underw way.

PS3 UPNP AV seems to work ok, but needs more testing.

Update on both my Live + units went well.  So far, it plays my video files (selected a few different types) from my NAS without any problems.  Even noticed that the mis-aligned menu under Options is now fixed.

One thing I did notice was that since the audio options have been changed in this release, that the unitl does not retain the previous audio settings and defaults to Stereo.  Had to go into this option and set manually for both of my installations.

Otherwise, so far so good on this end.  Will continue to test.

Also, the new Game feature was a bit of a surprise.  Can't imagine that "the people" have been clamoring for such a feature, so not sure how it got on the priority list given all the fixes and requested features that are widely known.  I'd recommend the team to remained focused on the product at hand and stay away from the gamebox market!

Update went well for me. HuluPlus app looks really well done, thanks. Playon still works, and my local media library streamed from my Dlink NAS looks good. The Game thing is kind of odd. Was there demand for Games on these things? I suppose all electronics are aiming for the casual gamers...but I hope there was not too much effort into adding that. Guess the only thing I am waiting on is adding Amazon On Demand....although I see that Amazon is very picky about whose hardware will stream their content.

The GAMES thing was probably just added because it's on the Hub, and cross-compiling into this code was trivial.
