When I hold the arrow button to adjust the subtitle position during the playback, in the top right corner the red circle appears for second or two. During thees two seconds the subtitle adjustment is not possible. The same happens with the delay buttons (left/right).
During the DVD iso playback the picture is purple with horizontal lines across the whole screen. This is how it looks like:
There are still stuttering in MKVs occasionly on the first few seconds of the playback.
The menu navigation is still slow sometimes, especially when the refresh rate is set to 24Hz. After reseting the unit, the navigation is fast for some time.
Connection to the Windows shares seems to be faster now, althought every time on the first attempt I get: This media server can not be accessed.

Azumi, in your previous message you said everything works EXCEPT the new beta. Then in your last message you said NONE of the previous versions worked. Which is it? What is the LAST version that works?
That’s because as WD has admitted the VOB problem is still not fixed. We need to press them VERY hard to fix the VOB issue in this release. It can’t wait another release.
I urge everyone with both Live and Plus devices to post multiple messages and send PM after PM to WD. WE WANT THIS FIXED NOW!
Problem with .mts files is still existing. Player can’t synchronize audio and video about 15sec! WD!!! When do You fix it??? Last firmware without this bug was 1.03.42
I also do not understand how why the reproduction of the MTS files is so BUGGY and why it has not been fixed so far. I save all the MTS files from my camcorder as “yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.MTS” and I remove the AVCHD structure (since the AVCHD structures are not good for image archiving, and also I can re-create the AVCHD from the MTS files if and when I needed).
With that said, my PS3 plays back the MTS files *in sequence* with a MINOR GAP between the multiple MTS files.
WDTV, on the other hand, always had a BLACK SCREEN of 5 seconds between one MTS and another. Very annoying. However WD managed to make THINGS WORSE with the latest firmwares, and now not only the 5 seconds BLACK SCREEN is there, but each MTS files starts with NO SOUND, then after a few seconds de VIDEO FREEZES, then the sound starts and only a few seconds later the video restarts in synch with the audio. And this happens for EACH MTS file from my HD camcorder!
Honestly I was expecting that my use case (playing back HD files from my HD camcorder) would be one of the top priorities for such devices. But it seems that WD does not know what they are doing…

I have so many video clips for my Sony HD camcorder. I have to stay with 1.03.4x as long as this audio/video synch issue is not resolved with .mts files.
WD, please fix the issue in 1.04.23 before the official firmware is released!
BTW: I have a WD TV Live and a WD TV Live Plus. The issue exists in both units.
I also have the same problem since 1.04.17_V.
I had rool back to 1.03.49 which has not this problem with m2ts files created from HD Cams.
I still have the ogg vorbis issue in 1.04.22. MKV file with mpeg-4 video and vorbis audio gets out of sync and has popping noises. The same file plays great in 1.03.49.
most crucially, the ability to identify and play an album is missing
example: You can search for the band Arcade Fire. When you choose the band you are shown a list of songs by the band - sorted in Deezer popularity. Unlike the normal Deezer application, you cannot select the artist or album - you can only play the tracks in popularity order.
search by album is not working. The results are the same as using the “All” option.
Since 1.03.43, no firmware has remembered the HDMI color space settings when the unit is placed in standby (still powered by the mains).
I select HDMI / 720p / 60Hz / RGB Low. As soon as I put the unit in standby it reverts back to RGB High.
I know RGBHigh is the wrong settings because I have the brightness and contrast test patterns which are a series of flashing vertical bars. With RGB High it’s only possible to see a couple of the bars because the signal is being clipped.
Another common problem is that DTS and ACC are not passing through when running an HDMI cable from WD TV LIve to a Receiver using the audio output is on “Digital Pass-Through”. To get audio to play from those movies I would have to set it to “Stereo”. But that defeats the purpose because I have a surround sound system and not a 2-Channel system.
on my system (1080p 60Hz capable HDTV), HDMI still not been fixed, they always revert back to 720p 50Hz , The Release notes said that “Resolved problem where HDMI resolution could not be forced if not supported by the EDID”..
Is that EDID of my TV actually capable/no error??? because on this firmware i still can set it manual into 1080p 60Hz, although it will revert back again into 720p/50Hz on power off.
2. TOSLINK no problems
some people on prev post have problems with no sound via optical TOSLINK, but, mine works well. No Issues with most of DTS, but still no sound for Dolby-HD and DTS-MA.
INTERNET content
no trouble at all, new updated icon and software, all great
HDMI Audio
still on test, next i will post the result, and also tested on high bit rate FLAC music …
Still seeing the delayed start for M2TS files. Around 20 sec before audio and video get on the same page. Will this be fixed in the official firmware? Worked ok in 1.03.49. Using the Canon Vixia HFS10 files made thru Pixela.
I installed this beta, because I hoped it resolved one strange issue with HDMI, that I have since the deployment of the 1.03 and 1.04 series firmware. However the latest beta didn’t resolve the following issue:
My tv set is an LG 32LG3000 with three HDMI ports. One port is connected to a satellite receiver (Kathrein UFS 822) the other is connected to a WD TV Live. Usually, when I use my WD TV Live, I power off the UFS 822. When I later return to the satellite receiver, I switch off the WD TV Live, switch on the UFS 822 and change the input source of the tv set. Having a firmware greater than 1.02.21 on the WD TV Live, I have no video signal from the satellite receiver, but I do have sound!
If I switch off the tv set and unplug it, I can get back video. Also, if I keep the WD TV Live running, switch on the satellite receiver, change the input signal of the tv set and switch then off the WD TV Live, there is video and sound as usual.
