My WDTV Live behaved absolutely perfectly ever since I got it, until about a month ago that is… There hasn’t been any updates that I am aware of recently and I haven’t made any changes at all to it or the PC with my videos.
I occasionaly use the box when family is around to show old videos and stuff but recently it really struggles with some 720P files and almost all 1080P files from my camera. It stutters on a 15 second video :neutral_face:
All of my files are on a network share, I am certain the files themselves are good as they play fine on my PC. I first noticed the problem whilst having my network share added to the WDTV’s media library - the problem persists even if I watch it directly through network share.
I’ve reset the device already but the problem is still there, I have tried lifting up the device slightly by putting a pencil underneath it to see if overheating was the problem to no avail.
These files played perfectly well in the past, that’s why I don’t understand what is happening. It plays well on my PC. I just tried to play the same problem files directly through a flash drive and I got no problems!
Why is it good with the flash drive but not with ethernet?
