New Release - Firmware Version 1.03.10 for WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (10/6/11) [ Edited ]

[javyn]

I care about local media mainly, and streaming Netflix would have been the icing on the cake.

This device claims to support 3 TB drives, but apparently not my 3 TB drive.

But to not even mount a 1 TB that my first gen devise had no problems with is inexcusable.

I was doing a bit of research, and it looks like the AIOS HD Media Center may be the ticket. 

I would *love* this unit, if it would actually mount my drives.

Oh yes, of course my devices are never properly ejected from this, since it can't mount them in the first place.  I yank the USB plug, or when it freezes the unit, I have to pull the power cord anyway.  Again, never a problem with my first gen.

I returned that Pivos for this unit.  This WD SMP is far better.

Bill_S I have latest 1.06.15 firmware. Still a small fault. Some MKV files, when you PAUSE then PLAY the video becomes BLACK for a few seconds, and then it continues. It does not do that with other formats. Can you have a look into that?

Hi I am new to this device but have a WDTV live hub as well, this 1.03.10 firmware is rubbish. I cant open any of my mp4 movies and if they do start there is no sound and they crash after about 30 seconds, what gives. My MKV files only have sound when it suits.  Is there a fix out there, I have raised this with WD but like most places nowadays once they have your money the interest slacks off.  I have my movies on a synology NAS and the Hub finds and plays every type and audio style not the SMP though. Ami disgruntled ...yes! Can it be fixed..... no one seems to know. Do the members of this forum have any clue what to do? thanks for letting me rant.

Also AVI and h264 files wont play, is it only mine that wont play these?

Hey,

Download version 1.06.15, the version you have is wayyy too old....and all files should play fine

Your in the wrong forum as judging by your frimware version you have a WDTV Live.  This is for the WDTV Live Streaming Media Player which is most recent release.  The firmware on this device is only at 1.03.10.

I think you have something else going on.   

MP4s / M4Vs do a have a couple of issues, but 100% of my MKVs play perfectly.

Not sure what  'issues' I may have but agree that all is not well. Even if I take out all of the extraneous info in the folders, eg folder.jpegs and xml files and just leave the bare mkv file it wont play properly. The H264 bit is confusing too. However all is good with the 'hub'. I am hoping that the firmware will be fixed in the short term. Any ideas welcome. thanks
