Updated FW to 1.14.09 today and I can’t play my .mkv files over the network Share anymore, although they worked just fine pre-update! (I’m WIRED connection too!)
Strangely, whilst playing the files, first the video goes and the file list screen re-appears but the film’s audio still plays momentarily, then also dies. It comes up with the “Network has been re-set / does not exist” kind of message.
If I power down the box and re-start, I have to re-find the network and select my shared files etc and then it will play again until the next ramdom drop off.
Funnily enough, it plays .avi files ok over the network.
I’ve re-booted the router, unplugged the WDTV box but still having the issues.
OK, so I’ve rolled back the firmware but my WDTV box is goosed!
The problem still exists, so the updating has done something to prevent .mkv files playing that played perfectly before.
The problem is that at random times, whilst watching the film, the video disappears, leaving a message “Content Source has been removed” - next, the audio stops.
I then have to re-search on my network for the source and it will “Resume” from where it crashed, only to crash again at another random point.
It plays ok with .vob files and .avi and nothing has been changed with the PC, router or wiring. The only change has been the WDTV “Upgrade”
