I’ve bought a WDTV live two weeks ago. Setting up was easy and I’m using the device for streaming videos from my WD MYBOOKLIVE 3TB using the built-in Twonky-server.
Streaming does work correctly (although it’s not possible to see subtitles when I have a MP4-file; It’s working for avi only) - but when I open up the Live hub on my TV (Toshiba) and when I choose VIDEOS I’ll get a screen showing me:
All Videos
By date
By year
By year
By year
By year
…
(about 25 times and after that dozens of “by folder”)
I have noticed this glitch since the last firmware update (late December 2012).
In my video folder, I have six subfolders. When I open the video folder, each subfolder will be displayed 4 times. It’s a pain. I started turning on and off the media library, and changing auto and manual info collection of the files. I wish that I had the exact method, and order which I started jerking around with settings, but I kept screwing with it until it worked.
There are other weird bugs that I have noticed since the update. When I turn on the Hub, I get a 10 second ‘connecting to server’ message that I never received before. It’s not a tragic change, but it is different.
Same problems for me. Posted message asking for assistance last week, no reply? I do believe the problem is with WDs’ updates. I also notice a slowdown/unable to open notice now when selecting items to view. I’m beginning to think this product or updates has many problems not supported/investigated by Western Digital. After pulling my hair out I did a “Factory reset” using reset access under unit and that seems to have worked. It’s not user friendly and after several years of use I would not recommend for purchase.
