New Release - Firmware Version 3.04.17 for WD TV Live Hub (5/7/12)

[Lentil]

Re: littlemalcom

I have a similar issue with the new firmware.  I've had very few issues with the player up until now.  Since the new firmware any time I try to play an .iso file, the hub reboots.  Trying to play the .iso fremotely from my WDTV media player also produces an error "Invalid format".  These files have been playing succesfully for nearly a year.

 I've opened a new issue report here: http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Issue-Reporting/Playing-ISO-Files-Reboots-Hub-after-3-04-...

Since I had problems with installing this update (previous post in this thread) I figured it would be a good idea to try playing an .iso. It worked fine for me, no problem at all. Moved around the menu from the .iso just like it should it played everything in the file fine.

I notice tho, that when I press the power button on my remote it now takes a little longer to power down to standby mode. I think I will run the update again only because I had an issue with the initial install where at the end of the update the unit didn't boot up nor would it turn on until I pulled the plug out and put it back in. Maybe another burn will fix it.....we'll see.

Ok My iso reboot problem is solved with changing the video frame rate as was suggested in other posts so there is a bug there. So I would suggest all of you that have that simlilar problem turn off match video frame rate

>>>> So I did a "rescan info" on that movie and voila!! Movie1 now has a thumbnail!! 

Then why at the end of that thread did you say that it worked?

Since installing this latest firmware, I have notice one odd thing...

I used to get a confirmation screen "Are you sure you want to exit Netflix? y/n?"

I no longer see that...

Is that by design?  If it is by design, can it be undesigned?  Or at least give me the option if I want to see it or not...

@TonyPh12345

The workaround applied fixed the issue, but that relied on me having to manually move files around and rename them as per the suggestion.  Not exactly a fix in my view.

To add to that, any update to the content through the "Get Content Info" or "Rescan Info" options will not apply.  These functions seem to update the .metathumb file and .xml file one level above the VIDEO_TS folder within a movie folder.  This content is not being read appropriately by the software.  It still seems to have a problem with VOB structure:

MovieName

         |

         ------VIDEO_TS

                            |

                            -------VTS_01_0.VOB

                            -------VTS_01_1.VOB

                            etc...

I have to say, I fall into a similar catagory.    Most firmware upgrades are non-events for me.  

he upgrades don't necessaily  the issues I am concerned about, but they have never results in me having to downgrade or reset the box.

I have my hub connected via ethernet,and I always do the upgrades over the wire.

I probably don't tax the box like some people do.   I do have a NAS setup and I have ripped my personal DVD collection to that, all in video_ts.   I have a couple of the kids movie in an mp4 format but thats it for formats.   I am always amazed at the wide verity of codecs and such people use, makes me wonder where there source material comes from. 

I also heavily use netflix and pandora.   Started using Vudu recently and realy enjoy it.    Occasionaly I fire up hulu+.   I'm an Amazon prime member, so I'd like to see that service supported soon. 

I think the only issue I have with the Hub right now is that the video thumbnails are broken for me.   Dissapointed that the latest firmware does not seem to have fixed it, thats 3-4 updates with no fix yet.

Yup, that is one issue that has annoyed me as well. I eventualy gave up and bought a blu-ray player specificaly because it had amazon on demand and I wanted to get  my money's worth as a prime member
