my wd2go and mybooklive portal is telling me to upgrade..im guessing they re-released it?

Hi Morac,

Thanks for the reply. 

I tried to disconnect the MBL from the network for a long period (since I'm copying files directly from my notebook to MBL using 1Gbit direct connection), later when I plug back to the network, and tried on the WD2GO login, it was successful.  It seems that after the network being disconnected from the network / internet, the agent will then try to update Dynamic DNS update for WD2GO is successful.

I had tested your suggestion, but it was not successfully, not sure why.  It seems I had to disconnect it from the network / internet before it will work again?  Look like the MBL Dynamic DNS Update agent is the main contribution to the problem, not the MBL setting itself.

Ok so maybe a little stupid question:
- I am not very geeky so using terminal to install some firmware on my My Book Live scares me.

- I am currently not able to play .mkv files from my My Book Live on my Samsung TV (over USB it works)

However this update we keep hearing of, will that support .mkv? I have searched the forums and heard about "Twonky 6.0+" supporting these formats.

I would really really really like to stream .mkv content on my TV, up to now the MyBook Live has been a dissapointment and rather useless as I wanted to use it to stream media to my Smart TV.

In the case be that WD lets people down (the last 5 pages on this thread have not given me high hopes), is there a way someone could walk me through installing Twonky? I am on a Mac (mountain lion) and my WD version is 02.11.09-053 : Core F/W

The MBL does in fact support streaming of mkv files over wireless. My WD Live media player will play the mkvs over wireless from my MBL without issue. I think your problem is your Samsung TV doesn't support mkvs over wireless from the Twonky server included with the MBL, I have 2 such TVs, a version C (2010) & D (2011) and neither supports mkv over wireless.

I don't think any MBL firmware update will solve the problem, a SamsungTV firmware update may.

As a work-around I remuxed my mkvs to mp4s which SamsungTVs happily support over wireless, both SD & HD streams from the MBL.

 I don't know if upgrading Twonky will work but that may invalidate any warranty on your MBL

i've tried updating via manual file, web interface returns update successful, but i still have the old firmware being listed.

If you read back through this thread you will see that there were problems with the 60 release .
Some people got it to update but most had problems.
WD pulled it back.
They have not come back with a new version yet so 53 is the latest.

Hi vFALm,

Do you have the 02.11.12-060 FW file?

If so I really need to get a copy so I can reload it on my system.

Is there anyway you can make it available for me to download?

Thanks,

Kevin
