Do I need a WD TV Live player to play My Book Live Duo content on TV?

Thanks for the help - I’ll scan the rest of the forum too.

Is it possible to enable the MBLD with WiFi through a WiFi dongle / adaptor rather than connecting to network with cable (trying to avoid more cables in the house)?

Also, with only laptop, smart TV and smart phones, the idea is to centralise all data / movies / music on MBLD and then to access MBLD via WiFi to play media content on laptop / smart TV / smart phone.
