Question about Vimeo on WD TV Live with 1.06.15_V firmware

[Desks]

Hello,

I have read a lot of posts on this forum, but it is still not clear, so I just wanted to make sure:

I would really like to be able to access vimeo on my WD TV Live, but for some reason I can not see it in the "internet media" list. I can see youtube, but not vimeo. I can access some vimeo chanels through flingo, but I can not access my own vimeo account which is what I would really like to do.

When I read about the WD TV Live it says that vimeo is supported in the latest firmware upgrade (which my device says I have).

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to roll back to a previous firmware version (1.05) to get vimeo working?

Thank you for your help, it is much appreciated!

I think that you were probably reading about the New Live Streaming player and not the old WDTV live.

Thanks richUK.

Does that mean that the WDTV live does not support vimeo at all?

I am confused, on the product page it mentions vimeo as a supported feature:

http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330

"Take your video experience to the next level with Vimeo. Get a video experience with absolutely no pre-roll ads, unlimited video length, unlimited HD playback and embedding, superior privacy settings and more! Vimeo is the next step in your creative film and video experience"

Am I missing something?

Yes. Read the product name on the page you linked to. It says Streaming Media Player/WDTV Live. That is not the same as the original WDTV Live.

Sorry OT: Does that new WDTV Live have any reports of heat problems? I don't see any holes/vents like the old ones or is there one at the bottom?

Look at the picture on the page you posted. Your player does not look like that does it. Thats because you have an older player which confusingly has nearly the same name as the new one shown in the picture.

Thanks everyone, sorry about the mix-up.
