Hi,
I am going to do my best to provide as much information here as possible.
Problem:
WD TV SMP loses “connection” to Windows 7 network media shares after certain periods of inactivity either when off, standby or even when left on. When trying to access media it reports “Last content source has been removed” or network share is read-only when doing a manual rescan of network shares.
If I reset the device to factory settings and add network shares to Media Library it rescans and starts working again. This includes proper function of metadata and “get content info”, it writes to the shared folders fine. Then after a period of time the problem reappears.
Setup:
Windows 7 64-bit
Sagemon Sky router
WD TV Live SMP
Wired connection
Shared media is on two drives in my windows box
Sharing permissions set as recommended and obviously works, for a while, with Everyone having read/write access to the shared folders (for now anyway while I troubleshoot)
Some details:

Note that wdtvlive appears (getting to the limit of my knowledge) as the master browser. Not sure if this is a problem.

Not sure if any of that is of much help? I have wireshark and can understand what it does but not what the logs say.
I can run any additional test or commands that could provide more information. Grateful for any help.
