Yes i'm a noob, but i've done many of differnet aletrnative firmware upgrades in the past on different divces, but this has got me tearing my hair out.
My WDTV_live is v 0.16.15 and i've done the 3 files on a 1gb flash drive placed it in the left hand side and pulled the plug out and put it back in and no update.

I've read everything and done everything i can see and read and the thing will not install the firmware.

I've even tried changing the ver. file to suit the 0.16.15 firmware im using as suggested from elsewhere but no go.

and advice would be great.

So much for

I've read everything and done everything i can see and read and the thing will not install the firmware.

This is the most basic thing you have to do and it's mentioned everywhere, starting with the README included with every firmware release.
Why do you think it's called README?

Hello. I installed 1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.1 on mu WD TV Live.
I have a problem with sharing my external hard drive attached to the WD Live.Here is what I get:



I am running Windows 7. I see in my network the name of the WD Live but cannot access it.
All the firewall and antivirus are down but it doesn't help.
The strange thing is that I have no problems when I try to do that from my Android tablet.
Thanks in advance.

Wery good job indeed!!

I like so much the gorgeous interface and the smoothness of usage. The movie informations on the lower side of the screen and the new icons, simply spectacular!

All of this without the need to get the external HD always on...

Unfortunately my Belkin wifi dongle does not work (even if it is listed in the compatibility list) and I can't use a cable for my LAN connection, so I got to switch back to my prevoius version.

Thank you so much for your time and availability.

Best regards and Happy New Year!

Please, i need some advice.

My FW is 1.02.21_0.5WDLXTV_LIVE-MNV4 and work very good till yesterday.

The problem began when i change through the WEC, set up on movie sheets and EXtsheet i reboot WDTV Live. After that my internet connection on WDTV live is ok, everything works ok exept YouTube.
When i want play You tube, it's appeared spinning disc with name loading and never stops and the end message appear "There is no media in the current folder".

I try to change Youtube keys but without success. I try to reset Everything trought the WEC and again without success.

Do i must reinstall FW or something?

I do not know what to do


Please Help.

I have the same Youtube problem without changing anything on the player. I believe Youtube changed the API again, but is just a noob guess.

[jazebov]

For now, we have to wait until the problem get's solved.

I install offcial FW 1.06.15 and youtube works fine. I try to install again custom FW.


EDIT: Install 1.02.21.WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.1.1 + picto osd + MNv4 + webplay, Youtube not working



EDIT: Solved!

Thanks for this great "cook"! It looks and feels really nice, much better than the standard OSD. Even the icons move faster when navigating the menus

I have only 2 questions:

1. Music->Shoutcast doesn't work. It returns "no station" whenever I click on something. Tried changing the LIVE365_SWITCHER to "shoutcast" in WEC, but no dice. Is there any way to fix this? I'm guessing shoutcast must have changed their API or proxy since this firmware was made.

On the other hand, the UMSP shoutcast plugin works, but of course you lose all that functionality of filtering, favouriting, meta-data etc.

2. The "now playing" banner that usually sits at the top of all menus when music is playing, is gone. I take it this is a deliberate choice of the new UI, but it would be nice to see what track is playing at all times rather than having to go back into the menus and clicking on "now playing". Is there an option to re-enable it?

Thanks
