Can't use windows shares after upgrading to FW 1.02.17

WD Legacy Products WD TV Media Player

The dialog page that used to show the list of Windows servers with file shares to connect to shows a progress circle rotating endlessly.

Tried rebooting WDTV, Windows machines, does not help. Network diagnostics shows all green. I use wired network if it matters.

This regression has bricked the device for me as I used it only for playing media from Windows shares.

Is there a way to flash the previous version of firmware?

try a Factory Reset and re-add your shares

Setup > System > Device Reset > Reset All Settings Back to Factory Default

if worse comes to worse, yes … you can Rollback the firmware to the previous one

Thanks! The factory reset did not help, but the rollback to the previous version helped. I’ll try to upgrade and troubleshoot the new firmware some more a little bit later when I have more time.
