Hi Guys,
My name is KB. I am a new member here. I just purchased the latest WD Live TV streamer ( the newest one, latest firmware). I have it hooked up via HDMI to my TV/Receiver, and it is a wired connection.
I can play most movies just fine, so far it has played anything I threw at it. Until 2 days ago. I downloaded Iron Man 2 and it seems no matter what format It Is In, It plays with no sound. The first one I attempted to play was an ISO file. I head this streamer could play that, and it did play the video just fine, but no audio. Anyway, since I wasn’t sure I downloaded a new different copy. This time I downloaded an MP4. The MediaInfo txt is quite large, and I do not know about forum rules on linking, so I will just copy and paste it here:

So is there anything I try to get this to play or am I just crapped out with playing Iron Man 2? I should also mention as well as lack of sound, it played very choppy with the MP4, and I have a wired connection on a 22+mbps home network.
Also, It seems everytime I turn my streamer on, it begins to compile my media library. If I leave it for a while to do so, and come back, and the screen saver is on and I attempt to hit a button the streamer will freeze and I have to hard restart it by unplugging the device. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?
I appreciate any and all help and suggestions, thanks in advance for your help and time.
