Ok, I’ve just heard back from WD about the bug with the BBC apps breaking media playback, and their engineers have indeed confirmed it is a firmware issue.
I don’t know whether they will include a fix for this in a future firmware version, but hopefully they will - at least they know about it now. In the meantime, it can go on the official list of firmware bugs with the WD TV Live current firmware version, and anyone else who comes across the bug will hopefully stumble upon this thread.
If we get a new firmware version at some point, I’ll check to see if it fixes the behaviour and update the thread.
