Still no UK news. Come on, WD

I’m getting increasingly impatient about the non-appearence of this unit in the UK.

It’s up at the WD store for the other EU countries.  One UK retailer has sold a few units through Amazon UK Marketplace, and they’re kosher UK units, not imports.

And yet still no news aside from that.

Contact WD Store UK, they give you the e-mail for support.  Contact support, they give you the e-mail for the UK online store.

Mods, anyone, can you please have a word with the boys upstairs and tell them it’s very frustrating.

Just picked up from Argos

Will be using this in the spare room connecting over the network to my LiveHub in the lounge which has 3TB connected via usb.

Will be interesting to see how it performs

Gone back to my LiveHub as my main player

The Live Streamer doesnt handle the many .dvdmedia files I have very well. For example, in Gallery view, you select the movie and it then takes you to a level down where the TS file is - you then have to select this. It doesnt always have the right TS  file so won’t play the movie. Also, it has trouble playing some old mp4 rips I have with respect to the AAC audio tracks.

It struggles building the media library and many thumbnails and backdrops were missing.

It will be fine for the spare room for now, until there are some decent FW updates
