YouTube Leanback Login Issues

WD Legacy Products WD TV Live Streaming

I have tried every firmware listed on this page:

http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5860/~/how-to-roll-back-the-firmware-on-a-wd-tv-live…

I cannot get the Youtube Leanback to remember my login OR the pairing to my phone.

It seems to be anytime I add an external drive, it forgets and needs to be setup again.

Please tell me there is something I can do to fix this.

I have the same problem and question; login via code is only temporary (I think Google resets the access each time there is a ‘location change’ I guess meaning a new IP for the player).

Please someone from the advanced users tell us, is this a known issue? Does there any kind of workaround exist or do we have to live with it?

I don´t know if I would name myself “advanced user”, but I have the same problems with the login in the Leanback app.

Pairing my phone works great, but it just doesn´t keep paired, I have to do it all over again after I restart the device.

It´s really annoying, especially when the rest works great.

Thank you so much for your reply. It sure is annoying to say the least, totally agree. If I need another device in order to log in to use the WDTV, what for using it in the first place!
Unfortunately I am not a lucky user generally - my device ate 3 (three!!) hard drives last night. FIlesystems were either damaged or totally destroyed. So, I cannot say that the rest works great, for me this device does not half the things that are advertised, especially usage of any USB hdd. At least I know now the login trouble seems to be standard, as sad as it is.
