WD HD TV Live firmware update

Hello,

Thanks for the response, I have seen the workaround’s, but to be honest that's my point, it requires a simple firmware upgrade (from WD), that the 'Live' version has already had (not to mention the other brands), but no WD have not provided one and the only reason is to 'force' customers to buy the Live version etc. My dad has no intention of networking his WDTV (he can hardly plug a USB drive in it!). The Gen 2 is therefore brilliant for his use, and only a year old, why would WD not support it anymore...(think I've answered that question)

Again, Thank you very much for your response (I may well give it a go).

PS I’ve read the ‘fix’ is provided by Realtek (it’s the chipset that needs the update) so all WD have to do is implement it, just like they have for the WDTVLive.
 
New web site, New Video(s), New Feature Announcement ("Themes") ...... Enjoy!

does anyone know if WD will be able to get 3tb externals working via a firmware update, or is it limited to the tech inside? if that is the case i hope it isn't too long before they release a new version. i know seagate have a streamer that supposedly reads 3tb but there isn't much info on it about.

I thought that it would work with any size hard drive as long as its formatted to NTFS or FAT32?
 
WD announced quite awhile ago that drives larger than 2TB are NOT supported. However, this was recently resolved by WD and they state the following:

WD TV Firmware Requirements To Use External Drives Greater Than 2 TB

WD TV Live HD Media Player - 1.05.04_V onwards

WD TV Live Plus HD Media Player - 1.05.04_B onwards

WD TV Live Hub Media Center - 2.06.10 onwards


No custom firmware yet available for this that I can find.
 
Ok, I might as well ask in here and see if people are having the same issues.

I have recently got a new 3DTV and downloaded some 3d movie trailers to test it out. These files are Side by Side MKV files and although they play fine with the two picture there is no sound. I believe the sound is DTS Audio and this isnt supported or downcoded by the WDTV. I have found an audio program to remix the audio to stero and inject it back into the MKV this works fine but its a pain in the ass to do each and every file I want to watch. Is there a way to get the audio on the TV any other way? Or are there any other media players out there that will play full 1080p MKV files with DTS audtio?
