Ok, I use my WDTV Live mainly for streaming Spotify and streaming movies with Windows filesharing. I stream movies from the harddisk from my Windows 8.2 PC which is connected with a LAN cable to my modem. My modem is also hardwired to my WD.
I use the latest software upgrade from WD.
As everybody else around the world, my WD suddenly started to freeze a few weeks ago and did not response to the remote. I had to power recycle it to get started again, after which it froze again after playing for 15 minutes or so.
I changed my settings: by disabling Wifi Direct, homephone and automatic software updates.
I tried this for a week, and it only came back once with the freezing problems. This was after I did a LOT of actions in Spotify, like searching, adding, deleting and so on. After powercycling, Spotify didn’t find my playlists and favorites any more, I had to powercycle the WDTV many times and in the end they were finally there again. I am not sure if this is a new problem or it just happened by coincidence.
Yesterday I streamed, paused (re)played movies for hours, without freezing up. Spotify keeps on playing for hours.
It seems to me that disabling Wifi Direct and the other settings as mentioned helps a lot in the freezing problem!
Did any one else try to disable Wifi Direct and did that help also?
Thanks,
