Video Fast Forwarding on its own

WD Legacy Products WD TV Live & Live Plus

Hi everyone, 

Movie and videos on my WD Live plus are suddenly starting to fast foward on their own, during normal playback and makes the video/movie unwatachable. 

This seems to happen randomly, I experienced this both with .VOB files and .mkv files.

Please let me know if any one has any suggestions or ideas how to fix this. 

I purchased the WD Live plus about 8 months ago from Best Buy in Canada. 

Thanks James

First I would try resetting the WD box. Press the reset button for about 2 seconds. You will have to re-enter your information, but resetting fixes some weird problems.

The only other think I can think of…do you have the latest firmware?

If you mean starting to play a file and the file seems to pause and then shoot forward, I have seen this on usb connected drives , espcially 2.5 usb powerd, but never on a net shared file; making me think that when it has occured to me it maybe a spin up issue on the drive or possibly some fragmenation issue
