"this is sharing content from windows"

http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-TV-Live-Streaming-Firmware/this-is-sharing-content-from-windows/td-p/536201

is a long standing problem. 

i have tried ios, android, windows 7 and 8 and 8.1.  then netgears dlna router and plex too.  a wide variety applications on all platforms and any local content gives me the this is sharing content etc etc and does nothing.  once many moons ago it used to work, a bit slow like it was having a think but it did used to work.  it was so long ago though and even rolling back firmwares never helped.

tbh id just resigned to the fact the box is useless but i saw it was supported by Allcast and thought “ooooooh must try”  but no neither it nor anything else push works.
