Hello my friend,
as i can see from all this comments you are the best of your kind, i dont understand so many about them but i would like to make u a question please..
i have wd live tv but stucks when it plays 1080p movies and i dont know why when 720p plays witout problem…with your firmware is this gonna stop or do i need something else to do.??
thank u

<<< edit: Probably too many ref frames in your 1080p material. Your only solution is to upgrade to the wdtv live. –b-rad >>>

Hi,

I’ve got some issues with mounting ext3 partitions. If I turn off WD and then turn on disk dosen’t mount – only unpluging power supply or system reset fixing ext3 mounts. So hotpluging dosen’t work. Any clue how to make it work?

I’ve noticed olso some bug or hardware problem -don’t know exacly. When I’m listening music for a while – until screensaver appears, remote control dosen’t work and only thing I can do to make it work is to put remote control in front of the device and press button. Then device is awaking and everything works good. Andy ideas what it would be?

Best regards
Sławek

<<< edit: try this, it hopefully fixes the notorious remote bug that affects a very small minority. Once you’ve upgrade to 0.5.7.2, telnet in and execute this: config_tool -c NTP=OFF then reboot –b-rad >>>

I suppose now that WDTV live is out you will ignore us older WDTV users now?

I got a wired lan usb adaptor.. it was a supported chipset for the wdtv.. but should it just work or is there something that i need to do more to the wdtv.. is there some sort of faq on how to get this to work with your firmware..

Thanks

WD just release 1.03.01 firmware. Do you plan to upgrade the WDLXTV to base on that instead of 1.02.11?

<<< edit: How about some sort of incentive for me to do it? Its in the plans but my free time is sparse and I am a busy guy. –b-rad >>>
