WD TV Live Mediaplayer normal/widescreen issues

Whenever I play a non-widescreen video, it won’t fully fill my tv screen (and it’s not widescreen either, it’s just a square).
I go to the video/audio settings and:

   a) If it’s widescreen and I change it to normal, I get full screen as it’s supposed to be.

   b) If it isn’t widescreen, then it is normal but still the video won’t play in full screen. What I need to do is to change to widescreen, then change back to normal in order to watch the video in full screen. And I have to do this EVERYTIME. It’s unnacceptable.

Solutions anyone?

Thanks.

What you are seeing is a known problem with the latest firmware. You can try rolling back your firmware to an earlier version, or you can live with it until the next firmware release.

Firmware Rollback

Thanks.

But what will lose from downgrading the firmware?

Take a look at the firmware release notes and you can see what has changed with each version.
