1.05.04_V-WDLXTV-Live-0.5.1.1 discussion

[RMerlin]

Thank you sir,
Please advice me,which version should I use on this box( WD Live tv streaming media player box).I want to enhance all features,please

None. As recliq just said, WDLXTV does not work on the Live Streaming. You are limited to whatever firmware WD releases for it.

Hi,
I simply can not get the installation to work.

I have 2 WDTV Live boxes with model number WDBAAP0000NBK-01

I thought this version should be compitable, but perhaps not due to the "-01" in the end...?

I have tried multiple USB sticks, all formated with FAT32. I have disconnected WDTV box form internet and I have powered up/down a dozen times. But never the less I can not get the installation to work.

I would apriciate any help.

Thx in advance

Did you edit the .ver file?

[sorhol]

Yes I did.

This is what I put in:
VERSION='2.20.04.WDLXTV_PLUS-0.5.1.1'
LOCATION='wdtvlive2.bin'

Thanks for helping.

Stupid me.....

When seeing my previous post I now see that the ver file referencs wdtvlive2.bin.

I just corrected to wdtvlive.bin and it seems to be working.

Cant belive I did not see that earlier.

Thanks

Yes I did.

VERSION='2.20.04.WDLXTV_PLUS-0.5.1.1'
LOCATION='wdtvlive2.bin'

Regarding to that version info you downloaded the wrong firmware. It says WDLXTV_PLUS not WDLXTV_Live.

You should never touch the LOCATION setting! Or you might flash the wrong firmware and brick your device.
Use the wdtvlive.ver file that comes with the firmware and only edit the version number in the first line.

If you look at the bottom of the readme file in the LIVE (none plus version), it actually says:

------wdtvlive.ver------
VERSION='1.05.04_V.WDLXTV_PLUS-0.5.1.1'
LOCATION='wdtvlive2.bin'

probably you should change to

VERSION='2.20.04.WDLXTV_PLUS-0.5.1.1'
LOCATION='wdtvlive2.bin'

So thats why I got it wrong.

you flashed a PLUS firmware to a WD Live
the Live and the PLUS are 2 different devices

I'm surprised that you haven't turned your WD into a brick

and the longer you run that, you're going to find more and more problems

Hi all,

Ive noticed on this version that, when I select to play a movie, the 'Resume from last position' feature isnt working, it just starts to play from the beginning of the movie.

Is there something im missing?

Strange, mine resumes fine.
Notice that there are some files where resuming is not possible, I believe the way of encoding has something to do with it (it happens to avi, mp4, m4v...).
Is yours not resuming on all of your files?
