I know a lot of people chosen D-Link Boxee despite of higher price because of more content available easily in Germany. I am still fighting which one WD TV Live or Boxee I shall buy. Is that technically possible for WD programmers and soon to be implemented? How about MyVideo beside YouTube?

Thanks from Germany

Photo's "Picture Information Panel" ie., "Info Bar" Recommendations

1.  Starting from the left side of the "Info Bar" the "Progress Bar" takes up 45% of the available horizontal space.  Next, the "File Name" takes 23% of the space and only displays 22 characters before going into a scroll mode for longer file names, but never showing all of a very long file name. Last, the image’s sequence number and the total number of image files in the current photo folder takes 11% of the space.  Also, underneath the "File Name" is the file's created date, image resolution and file size.  The recommendations are to:
1) Eliminate the Progress Bar and use the space to enlarge the file name, keeping the scrolling capability for extremely large file names.
2) To the right of the image’s sequence number and the total number of image files in the current photo folder show the % complete.  For example, 16/35 46%.  This is a better progress indicator than the "Progress Bar".

2.  Maximize the amount of the photo clearly displayed vertically.  If the following recommendations are made 95% of the photo will be clearly displayed instead of 78%.  The recommendations are to:
1) Eliminate the file's created date, image resolution and file size located under the "File Name".  This information is not necessary for a slide show.
2) Eliminate the Info Bar's opaqueness which accounts for 15% of the available vertical display space.
3) Move the Info Bar to the very bottom of the screen.  Currently, the available space under the opaque Info Bar accounts for 7% of the available vertical display space.

3.  Put the Info Bar option under exclusive control of the user.  Currently, the Info Bar is turned off by the firmware after a new folder is started The recommendations is to:
1)  Let the user toggle the Info Bar option on or off.  Do not permit the firmware to change the Info Bar option set by the user at any time, including a new power on session.

I wrote an email to Western Digtal asking if there were any plans to add Amazons Streaming service to WDTV. They suggested I come here and put the question/idea in this forum. In case your unaware, Amazon now has a streaming service that is free for all Amazon Prime members. Amazon just signed a deal with Fox to add a significant number of TV shows and movies to the already impressive catalog of titles avalable. You currently have to have a Tivo Player or Blu Ray Player to get this streaming to your HDTV. Unfortunatly I dont own either of those devices so I can only access this service through my computer. I have WDTV's hooked up to all 4 HDTV's in my house and adding this service would be amazing.

If your not planning on adding this functionality then I will probably just buy a Blu Ray player but I dont want to buy one if I dony have too. So any plans on adding this functionality un the near future? Any info ould be greatly appreciated.

The only thing missing on your WD TV LIVE to get my 5 stars would be adding the Internet Service Tou.tv.

It's a french canadian streaming TV episode. It's an App for iPad, iPhone, it should be very easy to add it on your services.

Thanks in advance

I would like to compliment WD on the 1.04.10 fw release.  It is much appreciated.

I would also like to suggest the implementation of movie sheets using something similar to what Thumbgen generates.  One possible implementation could be to have one row of thumbnails, similar to thumbnail mode now, scroll across the bottom of the screen while displaying the movie sheet for the highlighted movie above and around the movie thumbs.  Something similar to the implementation here would be nice.

Thanks.

Please! in your next firmware update, add the option to hide or disable that information box that shows up in upper left corner at the beginning of every video play!!!

It's useless and VERY ANNOYING  for those who like seamless video play!!!!

thanks!

Hello, 

I love using my wd tv at night when going to bed and find that often I will fall asleep while watching the movie. I think that there should be a sleep timer for the wd tv. Would be very convenient.

Thanks

Would it possible to be able to enter the time (minutes & seconds) into a film and jump to that position rather than use the fast forward and rewind options.
