[Benedetti]

 The Netflix ESN number still shows up in the Online Services Info... but there's no Netflix app....

Would you like to take time to read this thread as we have been there already 7h ago...
A lot of your questions have already been answered.

When do you address the issue of bad sorting of TV shows when they're autoscraped using the "get content info" option?? This was suggested a long time ago:

Boxee Box here I come!!!

Its not ok, to put a firmware update out, and not tell people about removing services!!! Not good WD!

Two firmware versions after and still no word on this:

MKVs stuttering due to network exhaustion

And of course my HD never wakes up after sleep...

I can't believe it.

With every new version most of what is done is just add new streaming services, or solve small bugs, but the really important ones remain unsolved version after version. WHY??? Don't you guys have the tech knowledges to fix them?

My Device keeps restarting with no end in sight!

I can manage to barely get a factory reset in long enough to be asked for the language, but then it resets on the wifi settings screen.

When I did manage to get past that screen (manual reset) I managed to switch the network from wifi to wired, now it resets even sooner...

I've tried downgrading, only problem is it resets trying to scan the media libraries.

Looks like It's an RMA as far as i'm concerned, unless anyone else knows how to get around it.

I'm on the current firmware and use a WD DUO NAS & a Linksys e4200 and 1080p MKV files stream prefectly, but I never had this problem on any firmware.
Just watched A New Hope with 20mps mkv & LOTR with 14mpbs mkv neither stuttered once.

Try using NSF instead of SMB/CIFS if thats what you use on your network.
SMB/CIFS has issues in general with high bitrate files.
Heres a post in the same thread you posted saying it works for another person after changing their settings.

hope it helps.

Yup... that's the way of WD - every new firmware adds **bleep** nobody wants or asked for and removes things people do actually like. Every time the firmware fixes very little and ignores the major issues with the box that people have taken time to document on this site in order to help the developers - no fix for mkv stuttering no fix for freezing  networking video ts folders even though both issues have been notified on here for the last 4 months but plenty of tinkering with small issues. Let's face it there's nobody at WD actually interested or listening to their customers wishes or complaints.

Hi Guys,

I'm in the UK, just carried out the update and BBC iPlayer and Netflix are working for me.

[Steggl]

Well, good for you because it's supposed to work there

The ones complaining sit in "3rd world countries" that now are being blocked to access their paid for services in the US   I am still looking for a way on how to do the update via a US VPN as this should get me the services back plus the bugfixes. Tethering via iPhone does not work, my laptop NIC is too old for Windows 7 AP sharing and my router does not support VPN out of the box. Do you really want me to compile a custom firmware for my router WD???
