I also have a BlackArmour BA110 and have been struggling with this problem myself for a number of months.
However my BA has had a static IP since day one.
After countless WDTV resets, firmware updates, media library rebuilds I tried Siskin’s suggestion here last night:
Kudos to Siskin for his effort on this.
This initially seemed to fix the problem, but this issue came back. So this got me thinking about the cause being UPnP.
I went into my router settings (Zyxel P-660HN-F1Z) and in the UPnP settings unchecked ‘Allow users to make configuration changes through UPnP’
The WDTV Live streaming has now been running for about 5 hours without the symptoms of:
* Unable to play any file (except VOB) when the unit has been left idle for about 30mins
* Spinning arrow of death when stopping a movie (includes Stop & Home button)
* Soundtrack still audible after quitting playback (includes Stop & Home button)
* Unable to quit a slideshow if unit left idle for 30mins or more
Hope this is of some help to those who may still be struggling with this.
