So does this mean I need to go back into the theme and rename the file to it’s original name (video_run.xml) if I changed it?

 

 EDIT: Just checked and I have both files so I guess I’m covered :slight_smile:

 

I was just keep both, you never know when they’ll change it back.:stuck_out_tongue:

This is because even they are not sure what they have done and what they were looking to do :laughing:

Haha…  You guys are cold.  Actually, it means that we fixed a couple of what we thought were small issues that weren’t necessarily major issues; and they all had to do with the User Interface.   So, we lumped them together.  And yes, Joey, I will pass this along as a recommendation.

**bleep** I’ll give this Beta a shot! I’m tired of rebooting the system to get the media library to recognize recent uploads.

Took a while to get this to load but it seems to be running fine. I just dumped a few files on it to see if it would compile the media library without rebooting and so far so good.

Up date: 11/10/12 this Beta update is not getting it. One day it allows the Media library to repopulate and the next it doesn’t! Delete items and they show them being deleted but the still exist unless you reboot or mess with the media library on on function. 

I’m going back to the older FW and turning the upgrade button off!

Was it necessary to do a device reset to factory defaults when updating firmware to 3.08.14, or is it clear sailing without?  Normally I’ve done the triple reset routine before and after each firmware update.  I’m getting kind of tired of doing it if I don’t have to.  Just thought I’d find out if anyone has had to do it for this update.

My only concern on the list was the library not updating… the firmware installed in moments, without a hitch… I guess performance remains to be seen.

You shouldn’t need to do a reset.  However, sometimes it does help to do one if it seems like something gets messed up.

The update went without a hitch.  I always update with a thumb drive, however.  I’ve had issues before with other updates trying to do it via the network that has left me “gun-shy.”  I’ve opted for the “safe route” since.

Now it’s just a matter of time and usage to see if everything works right since the update… No device reset required… yet.

after update hub  doesn’t see my shares from windows 7 desktop anymore. I did reset and reconfigured hub again still nothing and my windows 7 desktop doesn’t see hub. I checked i have connection to the network and internet. 

Wouldn’t mind trying the new Hauppauge stuff (if its supported in the UK) but Article 5688 doesn’t, as suggested in the Release notes, list supported tuners. Is there any documentation anywhere that shows what this can do and how to use it ?

@ Bill_S

2 days for Beta testing? :smileyvery-happy:

That would appear a rather optimistic evaluation of this Firmware update to say the least! Have not tried it myself and do NOT intend to either, but despite this, it would significantly enhance WD’s current stance on theming if  further information was shared regarding the point raised by JoeySmyth-

  • Resolved several translation and user interface issues.

Just a thought Bill? :confounded:

Hi All,

I am trying to play a Bluray .ISO file, the player plays it but it stuks a lot and sometimes playback stops.

The File is saved on to internal Hard drive.

Can this be fixed?

 Please let me know if any information with regards to Bluray .ISO file that i am attempting to play.

Regards,

new firmware breaks movie sheets for TV shows created with the newest version of ThumbGen

  • Supports Hauppauge in select countries. WinTV tuner required. Compatible tuner listed in Knowledge Base Article 5688.

I see that an earlier post showed more detail, but the Knowledge Base does not list any Hauppauge devices.  

What exactly does the Hub support in regard to Hauppauge tuners?  Does this mean a USB stick tuner can work with the Hub? Will it save ATSC recordings to the Hub?  I’m just looking for some clarification. 

Thanks

Yep rolled back to previous FW … pfff … :cry:

Two days for beta testing come on! Update feature is now Off.

i didn’t get to try out the beta… that might have been one for the weekend… and also there any issues spotted by the earlier  testers… 

Really did hope there was a new better attempt by release a beta and getting feed back… guess its a Oh Well… 

3.06 works perfectly fine, auto update has been turned off since then.

come on WD please do better… i really willing you too do good… 

when will firmware upgrade include twonky upgrade? a lot hub users having problem with streaming from Hub to other devices on mkv. Samsung for example and upgrade twonky to later version address those issue. Streaming feature is one of factor that people choose hub until find out that it only work verywell with WD devices but not to other manufacture.
