The Beta is still behaving OK.
As per other users and some of my other posts, I am currently using DVDFab and Handbrake together to make MKV files that average ~1.2 Gig and play in full Dolby Digital 5.1 - nice.
As for things which remain…
-
Any thoughts on when the Beta will go to Production ? Or a Beta 2 ?
-
The fast forward options are still really kludgy, there must be a better way to implement them.
-
I am using Pandora, Youtube, and Netflix more and more and as such, the wirelles keyboard interaction is VERY important. Please focus and test here as much as possible. How about a mouse ? My keyboard came with one…
-
Along the keyboard lines, all is fine in netflix navigation wise, but I cannot use the ENTER key so actually select the movie once found. I need to have my remote sitting around just to “click OK”.
-
For those who watch pr0n, an option to “reset network password on startup” would be nice. I know there is a manual reset option - but… don’t want junior to wander into network shares too easily :-/ and pr0n is usually viewd late whilst inebriated - so - an auto reset of the net password is IMO in order.
-
Please speed up boot time(VERY slow for me) and menu navigation somewhat if possible.
-
Any way to add basic “current time” and “current weather/ tomorrows weather” to the main page ? (Like Viewsonic has…)
-
When listening to a song and the unit goes into screensaver mode - use the album cover and/or song properties text in a moving box - rather than the WD logo in a moving box. You’ll get enough advertising through word of mouth if you do this right.
That’s all for now - thanks guys and keep up the good work :smiley:
BTW - a friend just bought a WD Live Plus after seeing mine in action. He wants a web browser like the other one I had - the Viewsonic. I returned it for a number of reasons, but it did have a simple browser.
