I have a gen 1 WD TV LIve, to which I have recently added a 3Tb MBL NAS. Having loaded the NAS with several ISO files, I’m somewhat surprised to discover that I can’t play them. Well, not quite true. If I browse my ISOs in preview mode, the videos play fine (albeit very small & with no control!), but the moment I press play, all I get is a black screen with a completely stationary progress bar. No actions have any effect, other than stop.
Clearly the device knows the ISOs are there, & clearly it can decode them into preview mode. So why can’t it play them in normal mode?
Player is on latest firmware (1.06.15_v)
Any & all suggestions very welcome.
Thanks
How were the ISOs created?
Home footage DVDs, created using Pinnacle Studio. DVDs play perfectly - I just kept the ISOs in case I ever needed to burn additional copies or recreate at some stage. Thought it would be a good idea to place the ISOs on the NAS, but turning out to be not so good
Search the forum for Pinnacle. I’m pretty someone else reported the same issue with DVDs authored in some versions of Pinnacle Studio…
Thanks for the heads-up Tony. I’ve now ripped a few non-Pinnacle DVDs to ISO & so far they all appear to work fine on the Live. Clearly the issue does seem to be with Pinnacle-created DVDs, so I’ll just have to find another route for those.
Many thanks
