I hope someone can help me.
I've had an external HDD plugged into my WDTV Live. Often, I have ejected it and added files and reconnected it.
Today, when I try to do this, I have had issues. Originally,WDTV could see the folder yet would only access one film inside.
When I connected the HDD to my PC, I needed to run chkdsk and I deleted a file. Coincidentally, it was the film WDTV would begin playing when I tried to access my movies folder.
Now, when reconnecting WDTV, it does not show the folder at all under VIDEOS, but I am able to see the folder through the FILES option and it appears to have most of (if not all - haven't been able to cross check all titles).
Prior to reconnecting the drive for the first time today, I had changed the network password.
Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong or how to fix this issue please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eject it, re-connect it to your PC, and find the hidden folder named ".wd_tv" on the root folder of the HD.
Delete it.
Eject from your PC, re-attach to the WD.
