3 issues with my wdtvlive

  1. it restarts when i login into my youtube account (found a thread about this in this section and posted there too)

  2. doesn’t play sound with .mkv (encoding is AC3)

  3. doesn’t recognize any of my wireless adapters (i have 2 D-Link adapters, i dunno the exact model right now and one ASUS WL-167g 802.11g @ 54MBps. it doesn’t support these adapters or what? if not, what kind of adapter should i buy? it’s kind of  hard for me to get an ethernet cable from the wd tv live to my router, so i’d rather use wireless instead :slight_smile:

  1. restarts when i try to view someone’s portfolio on flickr

According to WD Knowledge Base these are the approved USB adaptors.

thank u rich

a 5th issue with my wd tv live would be that after a few minutes of video play from my external hard drive, it stops and says “please safely remove your usb device” (or something like that). if i go back and play the video again, it works.

What is the video codex used. I found that some video codex might play but don’t have sound such as wmvpro. You cannot expect every codex going to be suppported. Have you tried formatfactory to change the encodin gof the video stream?

fixed that issue. sound settings was set to digital. set it back to stereo and works now.
