New Release - Firmware Version 1.04.12 for WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (11/17/11) [ Edited ]

[mikle_01]

My WD is still scrapping my NAS , but a quick test  confirms, that at least the movies where detect and scrapped  by the Media Libary function. Open the folder of the video and press the "Options"-button  there will be shown all necessary information like content,  rating, . Nice: this feature is even available, when the movie is starting; pressing then the "Options"-button (again) and choose "Information"  it works ,too.

It seems to work on / with all of my shares on my Synology NAS! (Shares:Movies, Pictures, Music). But, as I wrote; the WD ist still scrapping ( ~ 4TB Data )

Cheers.

When I scraped my HDDs they all succeeded, either manually or automatically.

Has anyone tried 'inventing' details yet?

Get an XML file from another film, copy and paste, and edit.

Or would it be easier to create an entry for the film at tmdb?

Does anyone know, where all the libary data is stored? I've no USB stick or disk; only my NAS and I wonder, where the data is store on?

[nfodiz]

The data is stored on the NAS in each movies folder.  The backdrops folder is hidden by default, ex "\\MYBOOKLIVE\Movies\Horrible Bosses\.Horrible Bosses.backdrop" there is also a "\\MYBOOKLIVE\Movies\.wd_tv" folder that is hidden.  The .xml and .metathumb should be visible in the movies folder.

That's correct for the Metadata.  But the Library itself is a DATABASE file.

The Library for each NAS is stored on the FIRST WRITEABLE SHARE.   First as in alphabetlically.

So, if you have these shares on a NAS:

Movies

Music

Photos

TV Shows

Then, for that NAS, the library will be put in \Movies\.wd-tv\....

Hmm, this is strange Tony, as each of my shared nas folders has it's own .wd-tv folder.  I actually have several folders alphabetically before my cartoons and movies folders that are writeable and they have no .wd-tv folder in them.  Any ideas?  Maybe bacause I only added those particular folders to the library as opposed to the whole NAS?

Oh, of course.  Wasn't thinking about that angle.   Yes, that's probably right.   I add my whole NAS, so it's only creating one library for the NAS.

Will test this new update tonight. !!!

I tried to update again, but it won't have it.

I get the circle for q2 or 3 minutes, then a message:

"The device fails to check for firmware update.  Please check your network connection and try again."

Which is fine...except there's nothing wrong with the connection.  I'm getting HD video from You Tube just fine, and clicking on 'Check Connection' I get 3 ticks and "Network connection check passed".

I'm going to dowload to a USB stick, but I'd appreciate any help with the above.

Cheers.
