New Firmware Version 1.02.12 for the My Book World I & II (10/19/11)

I’ve updated to the latest firmware (1.02.12) and have to report the upgrade went smoothly for me on the 2 WD Mybook WE drives I have (WE I and WE II).

I do however have 2 issues with the latest firmware update:

  1. After rebooting the drive it appears that the twonky media server does not rebuild its database. In order to get  TM to display the stored files I now seem to have to do a manual rebuild of the database. 
    This is done from the maintenance menu after going to the twonky config page (http://:9000/config) 
  2. Connecting the the shared drives seems to take a very long time from OSX; connection from windows seems to be fine. Once connected all seems to work fine. This includes the use of Time Machine from the mac - long connection time, but fine once connected.
    The connection times from the mac is in the order of 45 second.

For me these latest issues are no more than a minor annoyance - as long as I’m able to store and access my data and media files I’m happy.
