New Release - Firmware Version 2.31.08 for the My Book Live Duo (5/30/12)

[FrankRizos]

Tried the firmware update today from IE9 and it worked !!

Have got my transformer prime to see the MBLD and streamed somgs from it.... happy now. Thank you... although some more testing should have been done on firmware updating....

The DLNA Serving problem discussued in the other thread  not appear to have been solved by the latest Firmware Release

Can WD please give further feedback into what they are doing to fix this DLNA serving problem?   Reading the other thread shows how frustrating this has been for many users over quite a long period of time

When I did the update he Dashboard threw an error and lt looked like the MBLD was stuck because the LED was white, but the update process WAS running!  It's possible you may be experiencing a similar issue.

Solution was to leave the MBLD alone for about 15 minutes.

I'm also getting the 31105 and 31118 errors while trying to update the firmware from the dashboard, from both firefox and opera.

So what are these files that need permissions changed?

Finally, I managed to upgrade the Firmware manually on my Mybook Live Duo. 

How I did it? I used the newest version of google chrome ("Chrome 21") - after lots of attempts using Safari, Firefox and older versions of chrome, it suddenly worked.

Storm3d, did you ever find a solution to your problem where your MBLD will show up n your laptop and in wd2go but not on your ps3? I have a Samsung tv and it is doing the exact same thing your ps3 is doing. I am totally stuck, any info would be greatly appreciated.

No, this seems to be a widespread issue and me like many others are awaiting another firmware update (supposed to arrive late October). 

Though I did have some luck with changing file names to exclude spaces, hyphens and all other non alpha-numeric characters.  Problem is when you have so many files you tend to use naming conventions that use all chars because its convenient.  As I have 10's of thousands of files with this issue I did not test them all.  Of those I did try (around 500 movie files), I placed only these onto the server and things looked good and the device was being detected by all dlna devices on my network.  However now that the other files (without the adjusted names) have been added the server I am back to where I was before.  I am not going to change any more of my file names because that causes issues elsewhere so dlna will have to take a back seat until an official fix. 

Suffice to say that if I find myself in the market for another server in the near future I won't be looking at WD products.

I just connected my New Live Duo up this afternoon, did all the Install steps, but it will not see my internet connection.  I can see it from the PC just fine, controls work ok, but I am unable to connect to the Internet to get Firmware Updates.  I went to the WD website and tried to do a manual download and update, but they say Manual Updates are not supported for my Live Duo.  

I'm going to call it a day, Im frustrated and tired of it.
