Please help me! I’ve owned this device since the day it launched in stores. I’ve never had a problem playing any movies. I have mainly .mkv files with DTS audio. My Sony DA5300ES receiver decodes DTS. I’ve watched hundreds of movies in this format using the WDTV live and never had a problem UNTIL TODAY. I turned on my player to watch a movie with my family and I received the “new firmware available” message. Like always, I accepted it , downloaded, installed, etc. Now, no matter what MKV file I select, if it has DTS audio, it will not play. Only dolby or 2 channel or AAC or mpeg audio will play. I’ve tried resetting the WDTV, unplugging it, etc. Nothing has changed with my hardware at all and I am an audiophile! The new firmware has rendered anything with DTS audio useless. In addition, I have to select “network” several times before it will actually connect to my network. Then, after showing the devices on the network, I have to connect, back out, connect, back out, and then connect 3 or 4 times before it will actually connect to any network device.
None of these problems existed on the previous 102.21 firmware I was on forever. Does anybody know what changed to cause these issues? Is it possible for me to reflash my box back to 102.21 firmware? If so, where can I find it?
Thank you!
