New Release - Firmware Version 1.08.17 for WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (5/7/12)

[icefog]

Updated this AM

Now device CANNOT detect any of my shared folders (only gives me /users as an option) where my media is housed on my network.  Worked flawlessly before.  Now, despite double-checking the settings, it is like the device went blind.

What is going on?

Thanks!

I can still login to Deezer from my PC.

Post the MEDIAINFO for that file.

The fact that it's 720p doesn't mean much.   It's the frame rate that matters, not the resultion.

OK lesson learned, do not update unless the new firmware has something you need AND you've given it a week to see if it's bugged.

My MKV/x264  playback went down the toilet with 1.018.17, alot of stuttering, unwatchable. MLB.tv playback stopped/stuttered *alot* more than  1.017.18, I also got randomly kicked out mid gamea, and taken to a screen showing 'this game will begin shortly' while the screen fickered and the spinning cursor thing appeared. This was on a WIRED network, I also tried wireless, which was as expected, as bad.

Not impressed this firmware was released.

Rolled back to 1.017.18 now, everything back to normal.

Looks like a lot of usefull playback fixes. I am still on original fw. It has a few quirks, but operational from my prospective. WD listened to users? Not sure yet...

My WDTV was working perfectly until I put this upgrade in. Now it won't play any of my files.

This is absurd! Everytime you upgrade the firmware you brick my WDTV!

That's contradictory... If one's WDTV is bricked, you'd not be able to upgrade it.. . Have you reset it?

[samtroy]

And again my question:

Has the "uncompressed PGS subs in MKV" bug finally been fixed with this firmware??

This is the *only* thing that keeps me from buying this player.

Thanks in advance, S.

Auto Framerate isn't Auto resolution.

Your video info does show 25FPS though so i think maybe that's why it's pusing it to 30FPS then doubling it to 60. 1080p wont change however.
