Ok I am having a major issue with this box either changing files to a folder or deleting them altogether!
Here’s the deal:
I have a 2TB drive (seagate if that matters) with a dozen or so “genre” folders. Inside them are movie folders with each folder containing a video file (.avi or .mp4) and a poster (.jpg). At seemingly random times I will notice that either the video or poster file will dissappear. At other times the video file will be named just like was, but will be a folder! It even has the right extension at the end of the folder name (.mp4) but is permanantly a folder. Inside the folder is empty.
I don’t see how or why it makes any changes to any of my data at all. I have been enjoying my WD experience up till lately but if my data is not safe then I will be forced to look at other alternatives. I also have a hard time believing I am the only person experiencing this so I hope someone has some good suggestions.
It happened to me as well 2 weeks ago (NOT on the beta).
I was viewing a series, went out, suddently I only see a single folder in all my share. I thought, pfft, maybe the share got screwed again, so I went to bed without thinking about it.
The next morning, my wife asks me, hey, where is my stuff… and when I checked, the entire share was deleted besides the series we were watching.
450GB.
Lucky me, I had a backup from a day before (but that was freaking luck).
I’m serisouly considering a small lawsuit as a response to this.
Didn’t realize the B stood for BETA… The box just asked me to upgrade one day. Maybe I clicked pass the “This is beta” screen or something. I will try going back to a different FW at some point and see if it still happens… In the meantime it will collect dust while I check out running XBMC through HDMI.
