What i really DISLIKE about the WD live hub are the loads of garbage in the firmware.
Many things are not available for Europe anyways.
So why not give us a stripped firmaware that oes back to basics.
1 It should play movies.
2 It should play music
3 it should play pictures
4 it should play if there is no internet connection available. ( netbreak proof )
The rest…garbage.
It has a gigabyte network card that only reaches 12mb.
It has a tiny cpu,
So please please please…get rid of all the garbage and give us the fast movieplayer back without stupid games youtube RSS readers and all other stuff i allready have in my smart tv .
Sounds like you just need a cheap non-smart DVD or Blu-ray player. It will do all of the above you ask.
I don’t see a point in Western Digital releasing two different versions of their firmware. It’s not going to happen lol
Holy cow. Let’s go through these things one-by-one.
It has a tiny cpu,
You realize you’re talking about a product that was designed over four years ago, right? The Sigma processor in this player was about as good as they get back in 2009…
1, 2, 3, 4 – already done.
It does NOT have a “gigabyte network card.” There is no such thing. Unless you’re talking about a brand name, in which case, that’s not correct… the network interface, IIRC, is a RealTek brand.
It has a gigaBIT ethernet interface. And no, it doesn’t only reach 12mb [12 megabit? – that’s a size, not a speed.] It reaches 12 MB/sec [12 MegaBYTES per Second, that’s a speed, not a size]. and yes, that’s very, very different.
Why do you think that stripping down the firmware would make it faster?
