WD HD live streaming media player

With the latest update of firmware, 1080p HD MP4 videos plays a liitle bit with no sound then freezes up, then when I open another movie with avi format, it says not supported. I have to reset again, but  i wont be playing those Mp4 cause it wont play anymore. Whoever is the author of that latest firmware should fix it, cause i’m tired of resetting all the time…

What’s in the .mp4?  Is it mpeg4 video or is it h.264?  Often when you play an unsupported file, which is in a supported container, the devices get “stuck” and need to be reset.

Because mpeg4 1080p is certainly not listed as being supported by the Sigma chip.  It says:

“MPEG4.2 ASP@L5 up to 1280x720p30 resolution and no support for global motion compensation.”

If it’s h.264, what level is the file encoded at?
