Feel free to post your questions or share your experiences here in this thread.

WD are you joking?! A firmware release with only MLB.TV fixes? Always new apps or fixes for the apps yeah?! And most of consumers (at least people on this forum) continues to ask basic feature fixes! Have you ever think of improving the bleeping music player interface for example?! My old mp3 player can do better!!!!!

WE ARE WAITING FOR FULL .PNG SUPPORT FOR TOO LONG!!!!!!!!!

AT LEAST FIX THE PNG WITH .JPG EXTENSION TRICK THAT WAS UNAVAILABLE SINCE FW 2.08!!!!!!!

Let us know if a fix for the .png problem is at least planned or in development and in case what is the status of the development!

How about a firmware fix that addresses broken Component video? Unbelievable

I was using 3.03.13 before and let this update since I didn't know what it was for since that option is broke apparently. Anyway I can no longer access any of my network shares, either PC or my other WDTV. Both give me the Invalid username or password. I have rebooted all 3 devices. I have erased and reentered the l/p. None of that seemed to help.

I can go to my pc and see the hub and its files just fine. Can see the hub with the wdtv live box too. Just can not use any network shares with the hub and access anything else. It worked fine last night before the update.

... and how about the new firmware, which can support more new wireless USB adapters, like ZyXel NWD-2105 or DWA-125 A3... ??? 

Current WiFi devices list is mostly outdated, very hard to find those adapters now.

Yeah, you're exactly right.  WD should have delayed this fix until all the other fixes were ready... That way, people paying for the service don't get to use it on OPENING DAY.

Sounds like a great idea.

WD, would like to know what the fixes that are working for the next version? What errors are you working, that's very important to us users.

How about overhauling the whole music player interface,already....

What is so special about this release that it gets the title SPECIAL RELEASE?

Special would have been to FIX some of things that USED to work and have been broken by [delete] RELEASES.

Im getting closer and closer to the end with this box.

Hey why not just make it open source and we'll fix it ourselves!

[TheCoolDude]

I second the idea. Open source the non-drm part of the firmware. You have two audience, the themers and the services users. Why not try to please both?
