Hey guys.
I have a WDTV Live Plus, and have all my movies and file in one external HDD (WD Essentials 2TB). When I first hooked up my HD directly to WDTV, it worked fine, but videos would always freeze during playback. Due to this I ended up powering off the WDTV box by unplugging the power cord in the back.
Since then, everytime I hook up the Essentials External HDD, it never shows up on in the disk manager, even after a factory reset. The weird this is that I put a regular USB thumb drive into the WDTV and it was able to read that perfectly.
The HDD works perfectly on all my Macs, and actually, If I wanted to access the files from my HDD to WDTV live, I found out that I could hook my HDD to my Macbook and then stream over via Media Server, but due to the wiring and USB cords I find that annoying, and would still like to hook the HDD directly to the WDTV.
Is there anyway to get the WDTV to read the HDD without having to reformat the HDD? Thanks
