WDT-39029: info firmware

4.1  should not have any issues playing.

In fact, i accidently encoded a file  Main@L4.2  (which isnt in the specs, but plays fine)

Like i said, 4.1 on the Old Gen 1 should be fine, it’s the “Reference Frames” you have to watch out for.

The WD-TV only has support upto 4 reframes

I don’t know how many the newer models support … posssibly 12 ?  Haven’t had any issues for 3-4 years i’ve been using the newer models.
