I have owned my WD HD Media Player for about 6 months now, it is one of the best Media Players I have ever seen. My “box” has been working flawlessly until last week. I went to my friends house and we were trying to watch a movie off my 1.5TB external hard drive and the box would not play it. It was working for the first few short videos but then I tried to switch to a movie and it would have trouble playing it. I was able to navagate through my external hard drive, I was able to go through all my folders and see all my files on the external hard drive. The problem was that when I clicked on a file to play it would give the play icon but it would say 0:00:00/0:00:00 as if it was trying to load but it was never able to load. I tried on multiple different files and different formats and nothing would work. After repetively turning the system on and off, about the 20th time, it finally played a movie file. I tried switching to another movie and it would be stuck on loading again. I even tried to replay the small video files that I played at the first startup and it wouldn’t work. I have been trying almost every day since and it has been giving me hell.
I know that it most likely isn’t the hard drive because it works on my computer.
What is wrong with my box? How can I fix it?
Should I delete the .wd_tv folder from my external hard drive and make it reinstall the files? What should I do?
By the way I will be leaving on a trip to the countryside where it will be hard to find internet connection but I try to find some way to check on here. Please try to give as much detail and walkthroughs if you can.
THANKS,
