Only had this WD TV Live for a few days. When playing videos from a file list, they play once and then I am back at the file list. However, if I go into ‘Options’, the playmode field is empty initially, if I then press the OK button three times cycling through repeat (1), the repeat ( ) [All in the directory], then back to a blank playmode field, all videos in the folder play to the last one although the playmode field is blank.
There seems to be a difference in the playback mode between leaving the playmode field empty or cycling through the sequence once so it becomes empty again:
Leave playmode empty: Video plays once.
Cylce through to empty: Vidoe and subsequent ones play once until the end fo the directory.
So what does an empty playmode field really indicate ?
Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for pointing out that there is a difference between pressing “OK” and pressing the “Play/Pause” button. This is not really clear from the UM (for the Play button it reads: “PAUSE/PLAY Toggles between pause and playback.”).
Anyway, there is a discrepancy of what a blank playmode field means in the options dialog depending on whether to started with the “Play” button or your pressed the “OK” button and cycle through the options once. IMHO, a blank playmode field is not very meaningful. Even more so if it is ambiguous.
I updated the the firmware to the latest one 1.07.18 but the problem is still there. I found :
It stores the playmode [empty = not repeat, (1) = repeat one, ( ) repeat all] but it does not work accordingly.
It only repeats videos in a folder if I cycle the play mode options and leave it on blank or ( ) while playing a video, if I change the folder I have to do it again. Eventhough if I check settings the repeat all option is still selected.
