New WD Player?

The WDTV Live appeared at Amazon UK in September 2009…

…the Live SMP apperared in October 2011…

…it’s now November 2013…

DTS-MA please!

Don’t forget the WDTV Play, which does allow DTS-HD MA passthrough, which came out between the two…

Thanks.  I’d seen the Play but didn’t realise it could pass DTS-MA.

It looked like a pared down version of the SMP.  May I ask what does the SMP do that the Play doesn’t?  In short, if I bought a play I’d be gaining DTS-MA, but what would I be losing?

Cheers.

Just to confirm, does it:

  • Pass all audio formats

  • Play all video formats

  • Have a Media Library like the SMP

  • Show the scraped information I have from my SMP

Will it work with a USB hub?

If the answer to the aboce is yes, then what the heck doesn’t it do?

Oh, and finally, can I have one of these and a WDTV Live SMP both connected to the same network, both with their Media Library on?

Many thanks
