Hello,
i bought recently a WD TV Mini and i got the following problem:
- many times when i’m watching something it suddenly stops and goes back to the main menu! Then shows a message something “Please insert a USB device”.
But even with that message i’m able to use and browse the disk.
If i insist in playing what i was watching it doesn’t resume where it stopped (and this is also very annoying). And most of times it stops again but in a different point!
I need some feedback here to help me understand what kind of problem is this.
I use a 500GB USB 2.0 external HD from WD.
The WD TV Mini has the latest Firmware version available on WD Support site: 1.00.60
I used MediaInfo (as suggested in this forum) to identify the type of CODEC some videos use and all had the above problem.
