WDTV firmware: 1.02.06_DVDMOD-0.4.3
April 21st, 2009 11:39

DVDMOD is a custom firmware I made for the Western Digital WDTV to enable optical drive usage. I have remixed all official firmware releases and added optical drive support via cd-manager. Yes, this means you can boot with a usb dvd drive connected and play from it on your WDTV. The only limitation is that since dvd drives are officially unsupported you must have a supported (aka FAT32, NTFS, HFS,…) drive/flashdisk inserted. If there is no supported drive in the WDTV reports ‘no storage present’ and you will be unable to navigate to the browser. DVDMOD also enables you to use ext2/ext3/reiserFS/xfs drives with your WDTV.

This firmware is flashed to your WDTV like the updates that have come from Western Digital, unlike Zoranders ext3-boot firmware that is available from the WDTV HD player unofficial firmware wiki. Whereas ext3-boot is for pros (sorta) this ones for joes.

My time is finite folks, got to this when I could ;)

hi there,

is it possible to merge dvdmod and wdlxtv into one custom firmware?

still original firmware user ;)

<<< edit: dvdmod is a subset of wdlxtv, wdlxtv contains everything and more. –b-rad >>>

Hi B-RAD
I saw on the Develop-side, the new dLAN TV Sat Receiver
The satellite receiver sends its data via the electricity grid to Pc
Is it possible to adapt WD-TV to receive such data.
I think that it would have to resolve.
that would be a perfeckte thing.
usually you would be theoretically possible
best regards Udo

<<< edit: powerline ethernet is not really very fast or ideal, but its possible to hook up to the wdtv. As for getting the sat receiver you speak of working too, absolutely no clue without the device in my hands. –b-rad >>>
