New Release - Firmware Version 1.07.15 for WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (2/29/12)

Well, I defer to serviio, as they are likely to address the issue.  

I'm afraid it's academic now - I returned the WD this morning - 90 euros of nothing new.  I'll drag out the old Aldi box - works just as well if not better., and only cost 30 euros.

I think the Roku with Plex might be a better option.

Good decision sending it back.

If it does, why buy a player that costs thrice as much in the first place?

My WDTV live is okay, it plays all my hard drive videos and music, but it is laggy and buggy.  The roku with plex on the other hand is AWESOME.  Super responsive and and quick loading.  Less fuss, more streaming.

i just wanted to throw this out there. I upgraded to the wd tv live from the wd tv recently ,and use unblock us for netflix and pandora . I was bummed to see there wasnt a n option for pandora on it right out of the box ( canada).  so i searched around here (and there) and found custom firmware and hoped i could load any app or channel thru that. Nope! Anyways i updraged the firmware finally this morning with my unblock us setting on. Wouldnt ya know it a few new things showed up (mostly useless- skitter etc...) Pandora is present and working. hooray!!!!!

WD is either lyig about the downsampling fix or they don't have a clue, themselves. Always hard to tell with WD. It still downsamples 96 and 192 to 48 in every conceivable configuration.
