I’m not a programmer, so pardon me if I didn’t recognize if the problem was fixed or not, but is the latest B-rad version able to solve the problem of videos dipping to black when in loop mode???

I’m a video artist and I need the 3min HD files to loop seamlessly and w/o the “no audio channel” text and 1-sec break of black.

Thoughts?

Why DELUGE? If it is FireFox dependent? Why not http://www.transmissionbt.com/ for example? It has robust WebUI.

And grate thank you four your job!

First of all i would like to say thx for the outstanding job you did here.

I would like to add a python script on the WD-Live i own, which is actually running on my xbox-1 (XBMC) which allows me to control my D-Box and receive the video streams my D-Box with neutrino is sending in my network.

This would be a great piece of software. Is anybody here able to check the python script and perhaps explain me how to get it to run on dei WD-Live?

Any help would be highly appreciated

I’m also having trouble with getting DVDs to show up. They seem to mount fine if you check on the shell in /tmp/media/usb/ but they just won’t show in the GUI – no matter what i have where connected, if I use a hub or not etc, I tried pretty much everything, including 2 different optical USB-drives! b-rad to the rescue!

<<< edit: cd-manager is broken and I haven’t ever gotten around to fixing it…BUT…I did just whip up an Optical Drive manager for UMSP over here –b-rad >>>

Finally got my 1.01.17 downgraded to 1.01.11 and managed, somehow despite my ability to screw things up, to flash your latest FW. I only updated so I could have an OSD free playlist and it is perfect. I just donated – not much – $20 but I can only imagine what kind of time goes into this.

Now I am about to try my hand at changing the background to a custom image, change the welcome screen and the screen saver – if I can figure all that out. Is there a better method than NOTEPAD?? I am a total newb at custom FW so sorry for the questions.

I really find it coincidental that the driver featured here:

… is the same one embedded in that D-Link DWA-140.

Hi B-rad,

Any chance of shedding some light as to how we can compile linux drivers for other USB adapters?

I am interested in learning how to include the adapter on the below link.

Thank you
Jay

<<< edit: theres a forum post at wdtvforum in one of the homebrew forums detailing the process. If you’re successful let me know and I’ll see about integrating them into wdlxtv-live. –b-rad >>>

As a follow-up to the message by Chris White, I’d like to be able to disable the automatic display of the audio track display as well, especially when playing back from a playlist.

As a short term hack I’d definitely settle for just disabling the display though. Is there any reference on how to do this?

<<< edit: I’ve addressed (thx rez) this in a new version I’m about to post –b-rad >>>
