This is to the team or person who monitor this thread, those who work for WD and represent WD. Will there be a new firmware update in 2015? It’s been many, many months already and nothing.

That all depends on what you need and your budget

eg. MKV off an internal HDD … do you you want H.265, 2K/4K support with that ok?

Do you need Netflix and other Streaming services ?

anyways plenty of discussion found here and on gOOgle … eg

Personally, i just needed H.264 Mkv, Mp4 and Avi + DD/DTS on a budget … so i bought a Raspberry Pi 2 running OpenELEC Kodi (Very Happy with it)
