Any news for a new firmware for the simple WD TV Live?

Looks like it was removed. Or it was created and moved to invisible for time wait.

Are you get this fw or release notes from it?

No page for 1.06.34 V but firmware zip file was also posted.

Just flashed my wdtv live.

Well, looks like my wd passport now recognized faster. 

Youtube leanback looks good.

upnp works, wireless keyboard works.

I just downloaded the Live Plus version (have not installed it yet) by changing the still old public link to the new version number.

So, I got it at:

http://download.wdc.com/wdtv/wdtvliveplus_1.06.34_B.zip

Unfortunately there are no release notes in the file.

I just did a search on WD’s web site for 1.06.34 and got this (and only this):

 your remote and enjoy the show! What’s in this update? Release  1.06. 34
(9/24/2012): Supports iPhone and Android WD TV Remote Apps.   

(I did not add the …'s, I simply copied and pasted what I just found.)

DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS FIRMWARE VERSION!!!

Yesterday I was checking WD website for updates to my WDTV Live PLus, I noticed the 1.06.34B update and was excited so I downloaded it.  I then proceed to upgrade the device and everything went smooth.  I began watching netflix on the device and watched 2 shows without and problems until I tried to select another show.  The device then locked up and was completely unresponsive to anything so I was forced to pull the plug and reboot.  Upon booting up, the device powers on and makes it past the first few screens but just enters a never ending loop of the loading animation with the black background.

I then proceed back to the website and noticed the update was removed.  I started to think I was crazy till I read this thread and seen that they have indeed removed the update for whatever reason but it was to late for me.

So thanks WD for bricking my device which is now completely useless and also out of warranty!

*EDIT*

I was able to get the device working again by pushing the factory reset button on the side near the USB port.  I hope this helps someone else if they experience this issue.

Works like a charm without any issues so far.

Why not tell us if

(1) you’ve noticed anything new and/or added

(2) if it fixed an issue you’ve had

Strange, looks like some pauses inthe beginning when start playing mkv/m2ts files.

Anybody check auto frame rate working?

I don’t see more features for now, just hope that there is not too much critical bugs was added.

And we need somebody to check auto frame rate now, mine is connected to crt for now.

Saw this in the bin - bestbuy_browse_detail.xml

anyone?

Probably part of CimemaNow

Auto frame rate dont work! Back to older firm, again :frowning:

Video freezes often during Start and  Continue (after pausing the video)…

All - as we catalogue yet another failure by WD, would it be possible to indicate whether the bug is for the Live or Live Plus?

Auto frame rate dont work on Live.
