Forgive me if this is a duplicate as I’m not going to take the time to read all 14 pages.
When using a DLNA controller to play a video from a DLNA server onto the WD TV HD Media Player, the audio plays in the background, but the player stays on the menu. A hack to work around this is to first choose a picture, then use the DLNA controller to launch the video. This will show the video/audio, but with the view picture controls.
When playing audio files, you will hear the audio, but again it stays on the menu.
Tested using pre-release firmware ( http://www.twitter.com/srader). With the following
DLNA Controllers: Windows 7 Play To, iPhone PlugPlayer
DLNA Servers: Tversity, Windows XP Media Center, Windows 7, iOmega Home Media Network Drive
DLNA Renderer: WD TV HD Media Player current production and pre-release firmware
Steps to re-produce error:
1: Place a video file on a DLNA server
2: Un-plug all USB devices from the WD TV HD, ensure network cable is plugged in and that you can play the file using Video->Media Servers → [Your DLNA Server] → [Your Folder] → [Your Video File]
3: Power off WD TV HD
4: Power on WD TV HD so that it is sitting at the main menu
5: Using any DLNA controller, chose your DLNA Server and then the WD TV HD as your DLNA Renderer
6: Choose the same video file used in Step #2 and press play
You will hear the video playing, but still see the main menu
