I have downloaded the software but when I launch iPlayer screen goes blank and nothing happens! Any ideas?

Try resetting the player.

Okay found out my problem. Hotel Internet required authentication but no warning on screen. Switched to my mobile broadband and it worked. Seems to work really well!

I just upgraded my WD TV Live streaming player to the new firmware (1.06.04). The netflix app now appears unfotunately anytime i open it i get "unable to connect to netflix. please try again or visit www.netflix.com/tvhelp". the connection test works and other services are working correctly (youtube, accuweather). i tried resetting the device but no luck with that either

I have a ps3, laptop and samsung galaxy tab all connecting to netflix successfully on the same network so not sure whats wrong. any ideas?

i'm in ireland btw.

Player still has problems streaming video TS files, same problem with freezing and sound. However converted 5 different films to iso files and they play perfect, no problems. As for new software, iplayer and Netflix streams perfect over wifi. If only WD could sort TS files the player would be perfect and worth twice the price.

Vudu now seems to bitstream DD+. Nice.

Updated to the latest firmware. BBC iPlayer works fine. However, now none of my mkv/avi files seem to. They all worked fine before. I've done a system restart, and device reset to factory settings and they still don't play.

Can anyone tell me why this could be happening?

Obviously a problem with the firmware. How does one go about rolling back to a previous version?
