I have a mybooklive 3tb hard drive and a wdtv livehub 1tb. I gather info on my laptop and transfer it to my 3tb hard drive and use the livehub to “access” the 3tb and display it on the TV. Many times that I have reorganized some of my files or add new ones from my laptop top they don’t pull up properly via the live hub. When I access the hard drive on the laptop everything is where I want it but via the live hub nothing changes. How can I fix that so when I change something on the 3tb hard drive via the laptop it recognizes that via the live hub? I hope what I explained makes sense.
I’m not a “techy” person so please try to explain this stuff to me like I’m a 5 yr old. Thanks
You’re in the wrong forum.
This forum is for the WDTV Live Streaming Media Player.
The forum for the Hub is here: http://community.wdc.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Hub-Media-Player/ct-p/live_hub
But to answer your question, you must force the media library to recompile by rebooting the box.
Thanks. What box? The hub? I haven’t tried power cycling it but that’s gonna be a pain in the butt to do everytime. I’ve turned it on an off a dozen times today but nothing. Sometimes it will sync and sometimes not. I’ve had to “force sync” it before but have no idea how I was able to do that. Its strange that sometimes it will sync and sometimes not. Thanks again
Yes, the Hub. Turning it “off” usually means STANDBY.
You can do a power cycle by holding down the remote button for 3 seconds or longer to turn it off.
