I couldn’t figure out the problem… but I noticed it was always with my High-Def movies that played choppy on the TV. They played fine on the desktop computer, but connected to the WD Media Player on the flat screen, it played choppy.
Then, I saw that certain HD movies played smoothly. Then I figured out the pattern - all the AVI and MKV’s played fine. The choppy HD movies were the MP4’s.
Anyone know why this is? Does WD plan on fixing this with an update? I could convert all the MP4 files to AVI, but that would take a long time. It takes like over an hour to convert each movie.
Could you confirm which version of the WD TV player you are using, along with what firmware is installed?
Hi… yes it says “WD TV HD Media Player - Firmware version 1.01.70” Model: WDBABF0000NBK-00
Is that the latest?
How would one update it anyway? Can you put the firmware on the external hard drive and then connect to the Player? I don’t have a USB that would connect directly from the Player to the computer.
