I’ve found that a bunch of .wmv files that I used to play WITHOUT ANY ISSUES on the 1st Gen WDTV, now cause the WDTV LIVE to crash with the “Fatal Error” message. I found that the only way to get the WDTV LIVE working again is to reset to factory defaults.
It seems odd that these files would work on the 1st GEN WDTV and not on the WDTV LIVE?
Any thoughts:
(FYI… yes, I’ve checked the files, check HD for errors, tried files on a PC, etc…all the usual stuff, so please don’t suggest them as a solution).
I am going to try and convert the files to MKV’s and see what happens…
Is anyone else having problems with .wmv files?
> It may be that your files are WMV3 which can be played on the WDTV 1st gen, whereas the WDTV Live only plays WMV9. How exactly have you ‘checked’ the files? Have you looked at them with mediainfo to see what they consist of?> mediainfo (free) http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en>
