Updating to new theme

After extracting the theme files from the rar and putting the folder into a usb drive I transferred it to the hub but the theme didn’t update.  How exactly do I go from one theme to another via the files being on a USB drive?  Thanks.

Make sure you extract into:

drive:\wd_tv\theme\

Example:

Z:.wd_tv\theme\Concept X (1.01.01)

Then on the hub use remote and click on Setup. Go to Appearance and I believe themes. select the theme you loaded and a sample comes up, click APPLY

I don’t think you can do it from a usb drive. You have to enable hidden folders on your computer and access the hub from the network.

 That seems odd though that you cant update via the convenience of a USB drive.  I wonder why that isn’t an option. 

I wouldnt bother asking WD in the ‘ideas’ forum… it’s already been asked…

To use user generated theme which are not published on the WD Theme server needs to be loaded thru network share. For instruction, pls follow this doc. http://wdtvlive.com/pdfs/How_to_copy_and_test_theme_in_WDTVLiveHub.pdf
