I'm hoping this is a really stupid question and not a limitation of the WDTV Live...

I've got my WDTV Live connected to a network share on my PC. When I enter some folders I get the message; "No files in current folder". However, some folders work fine.

Now I think the problem is that the WDTV Live won't go into a folder unless there is a file at that level. For example if I have a movies folder with only 2 folders in it; Action and Comedy. When I select the movies folder, I get the error message. BUT, if I dump in an empty .avi file at this level, I see the 2 folders and can navigate into them.

Is that seriously a limitation of the WDTV or am I doing something wrong? I don't think its a particularly uncommon thing to do so would be very suprised if it was!
 
you should have say:

movies
action
film a
film b
comedy
film c
film d

etc etc....

make sure f+p sharing is on, that your network is not password protected and all that gumpf.
 
Can't say I had any issues when I was using a WDTV Live ... tended to have several levels of folders before hitting files without any issues. Also had the shares password protected without any problems.
