Oh, then any ideas why it's gone AWOL on my roll-back?

Nope...

Unless you tried it while the media library was still compiling or you turned media library off...

I've got lots of problems with my media player. I think they started yesterday after updating the firmware.

Biggest problems are:

- I can't play new videos, I get a 'content not found' error.

- When I, for instance, pause a video, it takes about 8 seconds to respond.

I've aldready tried restarting and clearing media library.

Does anyone have a clue?

Sadly, the same issue. Everything was working fine, until yerterday.

Another fine firmware release from the folks at WD.

I was hopeful in installing it. I am also fairly well versed in rollbacks at this point, so I wasn't worried.

Good to see you guys are still busy adding features that I can't take advantage of, due to bugs carried over from the last release, ex. Pandora taking a **bleep** as soon as the screensaver kicks in.

Strike 2. Strike 3 and WD is dead to me for multimedia viewing. It's a shame because it started out being such a promissing product.

Wow, you guys had a lot to say since I was here last time... seems everything's fine as always in WD manner

SO glad, that I didn't update yet - my one runs and runs and runs (I can live with the tons of bugs as long as my movies stay available and at least the ISOs run propperly. I'd like to use photos too (without stairways to heaven), but not at the price of an update).

I've got my DVDs in that box and that works basically (with the ISOs if watched in one session, not MKVs). Don't need games & even more bugs... or should I say: The WD TV Live Hub Bug Game?!

WD dev guys: Priority lists really help, trust me!!!

Maybe someone here can even manage that task for you and sort all the games & services out, setting all the buggy basics on top... help, anyone?? The dev guys NEED support!! *ironic*

So long!

It is good road - the Firmware Version 2.08.13 for WD TV Live Hub! 

Thanks! Welcome to new and new ... !!

I have noticed in the 2 days since the upgrade that I get periodical freezes of the entire box.  Click movies on the internal hard drive they will not play, just a roating circile arrow.  Movie not playing on playon server does the same as internal movies.  Does anyone else get this issue?  Only fix is unplugging or go to system menu and click restart.

Very nice to see a new FW released with Spotify, DailyMotion and YouTube Leanback that have been added to the Internet Services however there are still many bugs which were in the previous FW (2.07.17) version which were mentioned a lot by the users here on the official FW topic but they are not resolved in this new firmware. I hope this will be looked at and fixed ASAP.

The most important 'old' bugs (since 2.07.17) that still need to be resolved before I will update to the latest FW version are:

* if you have the device set to another language (e.g. Dutch, Norwegian) then English than it is causing problems with downloading the movie data 'get data' (image, description). The Live hub resets every time. So you have to put it on English to have it working. See also this topic. / update: resolved in 2.08.13

* if you play audio and after a certain period of time the screensaver kicks in then the audio stops playing if you have it set on e.g. photo screensaver. The only thing that now works is using the WDTV logo screensaver. See also this topic.

New bug (2.08.13) - i haven't updated yet but what I've read here:

* with some movies the cover data (which was contained with 'get data') of the movie does not show although this was shown in the previous FWs. See also this topic.

Question on latest 2.08.13 FW:

And last but not least i have a question concerning this latest FW. Does it also have the RSS video/audio feature to add your own RSS feeds as is shown in this video from Gigaom here in the latest WDTV Live Plus?

I can confirm the screen saver stopping audio bug still exists in this version. Netflix seems to be functioning properly. I haven't seen the Netflix freezing bug yet.
