Perhaps it's time for WD to allow us to return our WD TV Live

Community Archives WD TV Live Streaming Firmware

The firmware releases have done nothing to fix either my stability issues or the constant de-authorization of Netflix.  The RSS feed reader is an extremely poor substitute for Mediafly (I know it’s not WD’s fault that Mediafly closed  up…but there HAS to be a better alternative).  I have constant lock-ups and random reboots. 

I’ve owned 3 iterations of WD TV players, and can honestly say this newest one is extremely disappointing.  For all intents and purposes, I’ve got a 4 month old hockey puck.

Maybe WD should let us send them back and give us our money back.

The RSS feed reader was a feature introduced into later Firmware  before even “Mediafly” announced a discontinuation of Service.

2 Entirely Separate Features, Dunno how you linked the two.   Vivid Imagination ?

This forum is going to be really quiet after WD releases the new firmware on Wednesday that fixes all the issues.

:laughing:  I already took the day off work so I can sit down and watch some videos without having to wait for the player to re-boot every few minutes.  :laughing:

Wednesday? Where’d you hear that?

Looks like the Wednesday prediction was wrong.  I reckon the new fw will be out as soon as WC fix the netflix problem.

Yeah, I guessed Wednesday cause they said mid-April and every other firmware release was on a Tues-Thursday with most on Wed.

I see my error now though… they didn’t specify the year!!!  :smileyvery-happy:

It will probably be released on Wednesday, but of the coming week. They’ll miss the mid-April mark. Can’t be considered a surprise.
