Things I’ve noticed…
When playing a movie the option menu has a feature called “Audio Lip Sync”. *Nice
Also the Option Menu shows more info about the video i.e… Video codec, Bit Rate, Audio Codec. *Looks cool IMO
I did see in the release info that powered USB hubs are now supported has anybody tried it yet. Can wait to buy if it works :smileyvery-happy: have lots of drive I want to connect LOL.
Keep posting any new things you find

@Gundam: I tried USB hub on my SMP and it works well. It does need to be a POWERED USB HUB.
Lip Sync is nifty (I only have a few files that need it.) But it has a minor bug… If you PAUSE the video, the Lip Sync adjustment is lost.
Thank You TonyPH12345 buying it at amazon right now :smileyvery-happy:
I also can’t connect via WiFi after the update. I’ve noticed that the Signal Strength bars oscillate between full bars and zero bars every 10 seconds or so. I want to try to downgrade but can’t find the older FW packages online.
tried 2 new M2TS files
one with DTS and another file with PCM multichannel. This time I stored it on my PC instead of the Hub
First time on the DTS M2TS file. would not play first time
rebooted device
2nd time played but no sound, same happed the 4 other times.
Tried other file with PCM audio and it would not play at all
The PCM file has AVC video Codec
The DTS file is also AVC video Codec
I am going to Roll back the firmware and see if it goes back to normal.
@Garold You should download it from here http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5860/~/how-to-roll-back-the-firmware-on-a-wd-tv-live-hub-media-center Make sure the USB stick is clean. I actually had some hidden files on it, so it created a problem and the device didn’t want to rollback. I have formatted the memory stick and copied downloaded files to it. Rolled back fine. The Internet came alive. But I’ll try to upgrade anyway, just curious
This question has been answered and its still being asked
TO ROLL BACK FIRMWARE…
Rolled back firmware and the M2TS files play perfectly. The 2 that have PCM default to PMC stereo and allow me to switch to the Dolby Digital sountrack.
Firmware 3.00.28 is broken when it comes to M2TS
I played an m2ts movie on my hub over optical pass through, sound works and movie plays properly.

well tried the new firmware … so far so good
and while playing a video and pressing options on the remote
details such as audio codec, size, url of fileshare, bitrate are shown
but
as i’m using a modified theme, there’s some alignment issues.
Well i can’t find the view info option anymore and can’t also find the get contentinfo option!

Get Content info will appear if there’s no infos in the movie folder, when content infos exist you should use Rescan info, or press on options while playing the movie and select Rescan Info
Thanks a lot … will try it
BTW
the live hub is downloading backdrops and storing them locally automatically.
Is there a way to stop this ?
e.g.
super.8. → parent folder
.Super.8.backdrop ->folder contains all backdrops listed as backdrop01.jpg … backdrop02.jpgs
.super.8.mkv
.super8.xml
Regarding my WiFi problem, I rolled back to 2.08.13 and it’s working again. Like the other user, I have a D-Link USB Wifi stick and it appears as though the new FW breaks something.
Anyone can get content info and view info on network share?
It seems i’ve lost these functions after the update.
I can only do view info and content info when my content source is the internal storage.
Anyone noticed this ??
and
->Supports screen capture feature.
where do i find this feature?
I too am unable to get the content info on my NAS. Plus when it compiles to the NAS it completely locks up and hoses my entire network and have to reboot everything. This is ■■■■!

1st question: Go back and re-read message 53.
2nd question: You can set a Remote Hotkey to do screen capture. It saves it to an attached USB disk.
Rolled back to 2.08 and now my wifi is back. i don’t know if it is a specific problem with dlink stick or what…but reverting back and now i can view online content.
I won’t upgrade again until i see on this forum that people have upgraded and wifi works. I can’t believe they didn’t test this before releasing.
really useful update so many features ive missed before…auto content, media manager, rss feeds and so on!!
update works fine took me 5 mins with my wlan stick and my first impression is great
