Or maybe Apple should support DLNA…? It’s not a WD-specific problem, it’s an Apple problem, since they deliberately refuse to support DLNA (a standard used by many devices), wanting people to use their Airplay instead.
It wouldn’t be too hard; there are open-source DLNA libraries. If only they chose to change their ‘not invented here’ policy.
There are plenty of other media players on the market, with fully open platforms. Buy one of them and tell Apple why you’re not buying their crippled product.
As an example, see this thread:
