WDLXTV is a souped up unofficial firmware for the Western Digital WDTV. It is based off the 1.02.00 firmware, but with many extra features. Similar to my dvdmod firmware, this is a permanent flash, just like an official upgrade. There is no Linux knowledge required to use WDLXTV.
0.4.2
* fixed OSD sluggishness
* corrected freezing setup->about screen
0.4.1
* all OSD images are back to original size
* once again removed fsck_hfs for the space (download core-extras.app.bin)
* OSD tweaks (filename listings are much wider)

DVDMOD is a custom firmware I made for the Western Digital WDTV. I have remixed both 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 now. 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 WDTV HD player unofficial firmware wiki. Whereas ext3-boot is for pros (sorta) this ones for joes.
This DVDMOD-0.4.1 release includes another option for users, 1.02.00-DVDMOD, which is based off the latest WDTV firmware that includes thumbnail functionality.

WDLXTV is a souped up unofficial firmware for the Western Digital WDTV. It is based off of the brand new 1.02.00 firmware, but with many extra features. Similar to my dvdmod firmware, this is a permanent flash, just like an official upgrade. This firmware is an option for those whos hardware is stable with Zoranders ext3-boot, or those who don’t do much firmware programming to take advantage of ext3-boot. Once again, ext3-boot is for (sorta) pro’s and testers whereas WDLXTV is for everyday use.
Sorry it took me so long to whip this up 
Good stuff added:
0.4
