Thumbnail and metadata help - New WDTV Live player

Metadata is NOT supported for folders.   No way around that if you intend to keep every video on a separate folder.

Once you select My Media Library as your content source, it should remember it forever.   There’s no reason why you should have to keep selecting it – but if you have shortcuts to SHARES, then that is bypassing the media library entirely.

Maybe you should try putting shortcuts to FOLDERS instead of shortcuts to SHARES.

You can’t find the manual for this product?   It’s pretty easy to find on WD’s support website ( http://support.wdc.com))
