Wow.
Gamma is higher and now makes the blacks on my Sony EX600 LED look washed out as mentioned elsewhere and I installed the new firmware to see if the claim that it makes Flingo more stable holds true and it doesn’t. First time in to Flingo and when I exit a sub menu Flingo hangs the entire player. Back to pulling the power out the back to reset it. Arrgh.
I think the new Netflix interface is great! I’ve been hoping for a way to search. You have to re-sign in with your e-mail address and password, but that’s it. Great addition! Thanks.
IronSpine: it must be something else.
i tried every BD and DVD iso on my disc, and the only trouble is with a NIN-Concert BD,
but that is in my case one out of >130 isos…
and my guess with my nine inch nails disc (beside you in time) is, that this issue is done on purpose by the studio…
Regarding the blown out brightness
I had this problem too but I set the color space to RBG high and it seemed to fix the brightness (setup>audio/video output>video output>hdmi>1080p 60Hz>RGB High). The brightness is blown out in all the other settings

Argus: Based on my custom theme it appears they may have either changed the way the scroll speed scale works compared to before or otherwise made a change that affects the speed.
On mine, it now scrolls extraordinarily slow. In fact it looks like it’s per pixel.
I am using “OsdModHub 1.0” theme. I have the data in xml files created by the hub. The display of text was ok until recently (maybe a bit slow, but just readeable), but now is like on a race track… 
Anyhow, this update does not resolve any of the issues that I have had the pleasure to be dealing with (and I have no use of Netflix), so I have downgraded back to 2.04.13.
Have fun!
Hi
A big thank you to the WD R&D engineers for fixing the S/P DIF validity flag bug. I am now getting sound using the Toslkink output into my Linn Majik DS-I; absolutely fantastic!
Thanks again for responding to this so swiftly and fixing that issue.
Bri :smiley:
It seemed to me that the brightnes is blown out only in interface, the movies are ok. When set to RGB HIGH setting, the interface is ok, but the movies get too dark.
I got Panasonic Viera TX-P50G20E plasma.
Is CinemaNow available worldwide or U.S. only like Netflix?
in France no cinemanow…
Does this firmware release have the full screen or stretch view (not the zoom) for watching videos feature?
It’s really annoying watching videos in different sizes.
Hopefully this firmware release has this feature so all of us can maximize our TV’s viewing area.
I’m sure all of us would want this.
Deathwing: No, it doesn’t. And no, I don’t want it.
Oh well, ill just buy something that does have it and recommend it to my friends.
I stand corrected, not all wants the feature
I don’t know what’s happening with WD developers and the BETA testers. I’m really sorry to see people requesting features in which it should be implemented by default!!
Some people would disagree me, and that the devs are working hard on the new updates. Well let me tell you, when you sell a products updates should come along with it.
Nothing is perfect, nor firmwares nor US. People are paying for WD products, revenues earned by WD Company, and WD Company is paying the devs, they are working not for free! It’s their job to do the fixes. That’s why they get paid at the end of the month.
If they don’t work hard on the fixes they will get less revenues, there’s big competition in Media servers and consumers would easily return back the unit and get refunds when devices causing headaches.
I’m sure this is not acceptable by the WD managers…I even noticed that no one comments on our issues. I really appreciate WD stuff work but they need to focus and test the firmwares before each release, otherwise open up the Pandora box and let us work on it! I’m sure there’s talented people would fix all the issues and add more features along with it. We are not complaining for just being complaining. The problem there’s less satisfaction from the updates. It’s great to add new features (we are really, really thankful) but at least fix the mentioned bugs in earlier firmwares.
I’m your loyal WD consumer please do consider our issues.
Downloading now
Everything seems to be ok. Playing some random stuff to make sure nothing is broke…
Release 2.05.08 (4/12/11)
interesting, they did not even released a beta version.
downloading it now.
arrg, still buggy, still when i pause the video when watching most of it, it says unable to play file, and the sound still runs in the background, and cant play any other media unitl i restart it.
Anyone know how the parental controll works? Nice feature lots have people have been waiting for, but no instructions that I can find. Even tried to redownload the user manual…
When I started to complete the upgrade, the Hub rebooted 3 times during the process and then didn’t come back on my screen and the light on the front was off. I felt that the fan and disk was still running, but the Hub wouldn’t react to my remote or the power button on the unit itself. I unplugged the unit after about 5 minutes of it not responding and then it came back on, but with the previous firmware installed. I completed the upgrade again and it worked. Just a heads up to everyone. But the firmware itself is working just fine now.
WD devs played also with the GUI brightness, I prefer the previous firmware brightness settings, after upgrading the menu looks brighter. I have the Bravia HX800 with nice deep black colors. Now the black looks awful > greyish :(
I just hate now also the Screen saver… TOO BRIGHT! 
Even the Arabic language setting should be written like that – > العربية not vice versa ة ي ب ر ع ل ا .
Please restore back the Brightness / Gamma level, or just give us in the menu the ability to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma levels as we want.
Please WD team consider the issues, I’m downloading the downgrade file:
http://download.wdc.com/wdtv/Rollback_wdtvlivehub_release_2.04.13.zip to roll back
Regards.
