@ raphael_C

whats the point when WD still do not address the PNG Transparency and cropping BUG folder issue with the firmware again.

I am totally bemused and dispondent!!

What's the point of reporting the issues when it's not being worked on, at least for the PNG issues. I wonder how difficult it is to support PNG in the firmware? I pity the the themers... they are really trying their best to do their work for free but WD *insists* on not supporting them.

I really hope that in the next firmware, there will fix these issues [1] [2] instead of implementing new features that's filled with bugs.

Upgraded easily through USB, no dramas. Have not experienced any faults, through my use. Have used the iPhone app, which is a good idea, but could be made better (I.e. iTunes Remote). Performance/responsiveness, may have been increased slightly as others have said.

Thumbnails issue is still there, and let's down the look of most of the screen unfortunately. 

Thanks

Media Library appears to be what it provides other clients and not how it see's media itself.

I can see and Play files from Win 7 Shares but it only displays in folder mode.  Under two version back as the WD discovered the shares it consolidated the videos as a single library.  This release, it's just by folder.

Thinking that the WD would not advertise all media (local + Win7 network shares) I used a DLNA client to explore WD and only saw the local media listed.

What function does adding a network share to the media library provide? 

Added all folders to media library.  Only seen when viewing through FILES, MEDIA SERVER (DLNA w/o XML use) and via folders selecting Network Share.

Did I miss a step?

ComedyTime causes the WD TV Live Hub to reboot if you try to play a video.  I still have problems with Blu-ray ISO playing jerky with jerky sound.

Just updated the firmware and now have no access to my Windows Home Server where all my media files exist.  I used folder view to access the files.  The Home Server is not showing up in the Windows shares.  Anyone else with this issue.  Any ideas how I can fix this?

3.01.19 still does not fix Video_TS or ISO playback from DVDs created with Sony DVD Recorders (specifically the Sony VRD-MC6...maybe others too???).   I get a blank screen every time.  This problem was originally described in the following thread: http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-General/Sony-Recorder-DVD-R-ISO-s-not-playing-SOLUTION-YE...   .  Then, in mid 2011, WD fixed the problem with a firmware update (not sure which one, but someone suggested it was 2.04.13).  Then the problem reappeared when I updated to 3.00.28.  I didn't do any updates between those two, so I'm not sure which firmware version actually caused the problem to reappear.  The reapperance is described in the following thread:    http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-General/Sony-Recorder-Video-TS-not-playing-on-Hub-AGAIN/m... .  Unfortunately, because of this problem, I cannot play 99% of the videos in my library which consists almost exclusively of home videos that I recorded onto DVDs with the Sony VRD-MC6 and then loaded onto the WD TV Live Hub.  Can WD please fix this? Thank you!

Hi I have the same problem since the last update I cant Access to My windows PC and My book Live

So far no luck installing this update.

Tried direct updating from the internet, which kept on timing out blaming my internet connection (which was fine).  This happened 3 consecutive times.

So I then downloaded the patch to usb drive, unzipped to the root level and am trying to run the upgrade manually.

Its been at 4% now for nearly 45 minutes with no option to cancel (however I am warned about removing the storage or disconnecting the power).

Ideas?  Anyone?

Edit: this is the first issue I've had in 4 firmware upgrades ...
