Firmware?

Hi.

When is the next new Firmware coming out,  its been a while now and what will be in it new updates or a lot of bugs fixers

who can tell :slight_smile:

Nobody can tell.

As long as the SMP is unable to play 1080p@23.98fps/24fps MKV files without buggy network exhaustion and frame drops it is essentially a broken HD player, or a “HD Ready” player, if you will.

As far as I know WD haven’t given any indication whether they are planning to fix this or not. So their customers are once again stuck in limbo. Should we wait for a fix? Or should we conclude that WD are busy working on the next generation bug-box and just throw the SMP into the pile of failed and ill designed electronics products, and look for a proper player elsewhere?

I just don’t understand the logic of going to all the trouble of making a 99% perfect product and deciding to leave it at that. It is like running a whole marathon and deciding to quit an inch from the finishing line. It doesn’t make sense.
