Can we have this cool Gallery View made by TonyPh12345 as an option as standard

 

 

is it possible to add a webbrowser. So we can surf to where ever we want.

 

I have now purchased 3x WD TV Live Streaming Media Players (WDTVLSMP) for family & friends. Without exception, all express their concern about the current non-standard method of WDTVLSMP switch-off compared to other household consumer devices such as TV’s, DVD’s & BluRay players etc.  They cannot get used to the WD remote control requirement to ‘press & hold’ POWER key for five seconds to turn off the WDTVLSMP. More times than not, they forget about ‘press & hold’….

I propose the following solution; add a remote control POWER setting to the Setup > Operation menu where a single short press (current suspend function) of remote control POWER key can be defined as follows:

- Active Standby   (Suspends the device into sleep mode & turns off the video output)
- Off                      (Media Player AND connected USB HDD shutdown)

Out-of-box factory default should be ‘Off’

Please Please Please can you add DTS-MA passthrough to your new WDTV Live device/s, this would be an awesome feature for people who have decent amps so they can enjoy loseless audio.

Make metadata work for folders, for example if you have lots of films in seperate folders it only displays the name and not the movie info

It would be really cool if via the web login you could view the catalogue of media in the media library. Being able to easily see your list of movies, tv seasons/episodes at a glance by logging into the box remotely would be really helpful for tracking what you have.

Be able to Turn Off ( Disable ) WIF via a menu on the box.

 

When your using a wired connection it would save power and would SECURE your local files form WIFI snoopers.

 

 

Would be good if the media library data (meta, xml, backdrops) was all stored centrally in subfolder in the media library share location rather than having all the data mixed up with the video files.  this would be much tidier and and also make it easier to view the folder contents without having to sort or filter out the video files from the wdtv data im not interested in.

Since this is just software it'll be nice for all the live products that can stream to be updated with HBO GO & Amazon Instant Video. More channels - more users.

Give User BackDrop Settings (when media library is on)

 

Disable/enable, changing of backdrops

Disable/enable, use of backdrop

select Backdrop, allow users w/c backdrop(s) to be used.

 

Add option to change quality on Youtube (240p; 360p; 480p; 720p; 1080p). 

 

Add generic option to choose between lowest or highest quality.

 

They have an API so it should be doable. 

 

I've uploaded my music to music.google.com and it would be nice to play my collection from there.

It would be nice to have this interface so that people can use it for just playing music ( no video ) through SMP.  With this provision, users don't have to turn on TV to make the selections.

The chipset in this device is cappable of 3D also the HDMI 1.4 port supports 3D.

As stated on the site of sigma designs:

3D video support

• Generic side-by-side and top-bottom output
• RealD (side-by-side output)
• Sensio (side-by-side output)

Please make it possible to select the 3D stream from a blu ray iso file.

This would the television initiate the 3D option and then we will be able to watch 3D.

I have a few personal backups, and this would make it much easier.

Also the review from the anandtech site says it should be possible:

When navigating a large USB based music or movie collection, it would be nice to use the numbered remote buttons to quickly advance to a alpha location. Pushing the "3" key once would get you to the start of the "D's", while pushing the "3" three times quickly would get you to the start of the "F's". Windows Media Center has this function on their remotes, and it really cuts down on scrolling time.

It would be nice, if we have multiple SMP/HUB setups to set 1 to be able to scrape content/scan media library for new items ect to be able to say Device X is the Media Library manager (can read/write/compile the media library). Device Y is the Media Library Client (can only read the media library.) And ANOTHER shout out for Amazon Prime Instant Videos.

Hi,

 

Are there any plans to provide access to ILOVEFILM.com as well as Netflix? It would be very useful, epecially when Netflix is not working

 

Cheers,

David

I still can't believe that the 3rd generation WDTV HD Live doesn't work on 5Ghz band.    Most of the dual-band routers have DLNA *only* on 5Ghz band.

 

And why have youi disabled allowing EXTERNAL USB-based adapters?   Allow us to make our own choices, please.

I only watch videos from certain authors on youtube that put out content very frequently and I'd like to be able to access their lists of videos from the youtube app so I can find their latest videos quickly instead of trying to use the search function and HOPE that I can find something from them that I haven't seen.

 

ADD SUBSCRIPTIONS!!! <3
