sorry i was refereing to wdtv gen 1

<<< I haven’t worked on gen 1 in a year and a half and I don’t intend on getting back to it. What you’re asking for wouldn’t happen anyways, not technically feasible. –brad >>>

Hi b-rad,

I have WDTV Live with Firmware version 1.01.11.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.3.2.
Will it support to upgrade to this new firmware 0.5.8 or later?

Thanks

hi b-rad. thanks for the awesome firmware. The font size of the highlighted file on the bottom of the screen seems to be bigger than the official firmware. Is there a setting for me to change to decrease this font size?

I have an esata enclosure with 4 1.5tb drives configured to appear as 1 6tb unit the wdtv does not seem to see any drive bigger than 2tb is there a solution

<<< edit: Short of buy me the exact setup to test and work with hands on to find a solution? Probably not. –b-rad >>>

Does this modification allow for connecting drives larger than 2 TB? Right now, that is the only mod I am interested in trying… It would be nice to connect my HFS+ formatted Drobo without having to partition (i.e. one big volume). In fact, if you could point me in the direction of the donation link… Tks.

<<< edit: You can find a donate button in the about page. I’m unsure if 2TB would work, as I don’t have any—feel free to try and report your findings to the homebrew forums. –b-rad >>>

It is there a Firmware or Custom Firmware with DTS Decoding?
A can’t hear the sound in MKV with DTS audio track…

<<< edit: Well you should’ve bought a device with DTS decoding WDTV G2 and WDTV Live both decode DTS. –b-rad >>>
