Hello,
I have just receved from Newegg a “refurbished EDTV Live Plus”. Have no idea what was refurbished but it looks perfectly new with all accessories. It is hard to explain my problem so please be patient.
-
The WDTV Live Plus is connected to LAN. Checked the firmware, it is the latest, 1.06 something. All settings are at default.
-
I can browse the internet, wach YouTube, etc.
-
I can browse my network, see the drives and also xbmc upnp. I can select a movie or a tv show and could watch with no problem from the beginning to the end if I don’t touch the remote.
-
I can do the same if I connect one of the two NTFS drives to the USB
-
Within first 10 minutes (more or less) if I do FF or REW or jump 10 min, or PAUSE, or STOP and PLAY again, it works.
-
BUT , if I do the the same after say, 30 minutes of play, it appears a message “this media can not be played” but in the background you can still hear the sound how it is still playing. (?!?!) At this point I have to power off the unit and start over.
-
If for instance I press STOP after more than 15 minutes, I will get back the list of movies or tv shows but in the background the sound from the media I was watching is still playing. (?!?!?) If I select the same movie or a different one while playing the background sound, the sound does not stops and I get waiting wheel and nothing else happens.
-
If I watch the entire movie or tv show and not touching the remote, at the end it does not bring me back to the list, I have just a black screen and I have to power OFF and back ON to select something else.
I have downgraded the firmware with 1.05 or something, almost a year old, tried it, the same problem.
I have upgraded on line, it has the same problem.
I have tried to read over network from a MAC, then from a Linux computer and then connected only to USB, from two different drives, one NTFS and then formated to DOS, the problem described above is always there. No matter from where I read the media. Most of the media is in avi and mkv, it can not be from the media encoding itself. I have tried with one “mov” and it was the same.
What should I do, what is your advice?
