Im new to comunity, so very unfamilier with the device.
That being said… I have 2 WD Live boxes, both connected via Hdmi to DVI adapters, and connected to 2 monitors.
I use the monitors at trade shows , to display a 10 min movie that i want to play in a loop, each monitor/HD box, have a different 10 min clip.
I am using a usb converter to Micro sd card (basicly a usb stick) to supply the movie for each HD box…
I am having several issues.
-
Even tho movie is on infinity ( continus play) it will sometimes just stop playing, and the only way to get it going again is to reboot the HD box.
-
Sometimes it will play the first few min of the video and then restart, it again…
-
some times it will play the movie, and then not replay it.
-
I tried an external HD via usb to see if it would stop the problem, and no luck… (maybe that box is defective?)
A reboot will always fix what ever problem i am having…
I run these for 3-8 hours a day 3-4 days a month…
I really want a solution i can turn on and forget about.
So any Ideas on the above problems?
Any thoughts on if i should use
A standard USB stick, instead of a Micro SD card in USB converter, or use ext HD via USB, or do i need a NAS, switch and network cable?
Thanks in advance…
