Samsung Smart TV, no files found on the connected device

WD Legacy Products My Book Live
1

im hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction as ive been googling and researching all evening and cant fix this.

I purchased today a Samsung Smart TV (UE55ES8000UXXU) Ive added it to my home network viat ethernet and everything works fine apart from accessing my MYB.

under the Source options i have :

[MyBookLive]TwonkyMedia

ReadyDLNA:WNDR3700v3

if i select either of the above i am showing no files at all, there is a mixture of files mp3,mp4,avi etc on the drive and i can access them fine via my jailbroken Apple Tv2 and WD Tv STB’s.

both the MBL and the TV are running the latest firmwares. im at a loss where to go next, so im posting here and on a Samsung forum.

thanks in advance

There seem to be a compatibility problem with the my book live and the Samsung TV’s. Check the link below.

tht appears to be a diferent fault, i can see my drive but no files are visibile when i enter them. I also understand there is a known issue with the TV and WD drives in regards to streaming mkv files but i cant find any known issues like mine.

very frustrating, i have seen some people talk about upgrading twonky? not sure what this is and also dont know if its a workaround for my particular fault.

I have the same problem.

I have around 300GB’s on a 2TB system and I cannot access the content. I have a Samsung LED TV 55UE8000.

I can see the files from my computer. I can see the drive from the TV, bt says there is nothing on it.

When I initially copied some files, it read them and I could play them fine- took ages to copy the 300GB, so don’t really want to do it again.

Anyone know a solution?

OK.

So the fix ix easy- but no one has bothered to post it on here- so I will hopfully save the next person some frustration.

I got this from WD help/support email- so I did not find it myself.

Got to P114 of support maual regarding rebuilding the library.

Before anyone judges, I am not a techno minded person, so I hope this helps others.
