Hi, I own a WD TV Live HD Media Player.
Model: WDAAN0000NBK.
Firmware: 1.02.21
I have some video files that do not play smoothly on the WD. It appears to show a frame, pause, then skips to another frame a few seconds later. The audio does play smoothly. Below is an example of the file makeup:

This file does play smoothly on my PC, using KMPlayer.
I’m aware that my firmware is out of date and will upgrade it soon. I did upgrade it once and the problem persisted. So a few questions
-
why does this video file not play smoothly on the unit?
-
what can I do to have it play smoothly?
-
is there any other information I can provide?
Thanks very much
