Haiya...rename the file lar!!!

Surely ..."Inception.x264.1080.p.released-by-nerdy-Geek.Hello.Mom.your-gf-is-a-w****.boring.movie.divx.mkv..." ..;x

I always chop my file name to shortest possible.

Hi ya if only there were not so many files!

How did you get it to work?
I'm still having problem setting the dns server
Same problem I encountered even back when I was still using official firmware
How's the video streaming for 1080p/720p movies?..

Added on November 22, 2010, 10:51 amI just mod the templates to suit my taste
One thing that surprised me when I first browse thru the moviesheet templates design
is there was no cover case templates when other movie jukebox like YAMJ/Yadis already has them since last year.

Erm...what problem exactly? You use dynamic or static IP? Maybe you give more details, i can help.

Streaming 1080p/720p movies is no problem. Heck, even a 30GB++ uncompressed BD rip runs fine. This is done using the wired connection. Wireless is only good for small TV drama files like 1GB++. Maybe if you have dual-band WIFI-N 300 at 5Ghz channel, it might work for 720p/1080p/uncompressed BD.

Thks.

Er how do you update firmware? Not a very technical person I apologize.

1) Connect WDTV Live using the LAN port to your switch/router/modem.

2) Go to SYSTEM->SETTINGS->Check Updates. Somethng like that. Can't remember exactly. Once there is a new update found, it'll update automatically.

But ensure your INTERNET connection is working first.

Really? I still got stutters streaming with LAN but it doesn't happen too often
I'll be back home next week to test the player, I think I use dynamic ip address
WDTV can still get the IP address but it's not connected properly
Got errors when testing the connection, it goes something like this
IP - Check
DNS - X
Not really sure how to configure the static ip since I don't know the dns server for it
Also I still can't get youtube to work, tried official firmware then b-rad's firmware and it's still the same problem

I stream all my movies using LAN from my PC server. Can tell me a bit more:

1) What is the file size you are streaming?
2) Are you using Network share or uPNP? Network share does gives a stutter occasionally. Use the uPNP for smooth streaming.
3) If you use uPNP, what software are you using? I am using this free software called TVersity. Works great.
4) The hardware of your network. Are you on 100MB LAN or has it somehow been downgraded to 10MBps? What is the specs of your server? My server isn't very high end. a 2GB RAM, E5400, with 3 hard disks. 2 of the hard disks are RAID-1, which gives better read performance. Also the Server is connected to a Gigabit switch, which in turns connects to the modem/router (100MBps). The WDTV Live is connected to the modem/router, since the WDTV can only support 100MBps. Maybe the gigabit switch will give the server a bit more throughput headroom, eventhough the WDTV Live is 100MBps....not too sure though.

I would suggest you start with putting in TVersity as the streamer if you haven't already. With TVersity, you can also transcode RMVB files to WDTV Live, which doesn't support it natively...this is how i watch my TVB dramas on WDTV Live.

I see, never really tried uPNP before this
Using 100MB Lan connection..
I only use network share because it works fine with my other player hdx900 (no stutters streaming 1080p files on lan)
Usually streaming files aroudn 4gb ~ 18gb (depends on the movie size)
Probably it's not the same with WDTV Live

In that case, i suggest you try the TVersity...it's FOC. The file size is no problem since i've tested with 30GB++ uncompressed BD files.

Test it out and let me know if u still have problems.

Thanks man.... Problem lol my modem has one LAN that goes into my PC. Meaning I need to get a router lah...
Your avatar makes me hungry leh...

Oh, in that case, you don't need router. Just a switch. Just buy a D-LINK gigabit swicth. Only RM95 or so. A Gigabit switch is better coz later ur PC also can use...a gigabit connection is one of the cheapest and best upgrade for me....last time i transfer files between PC on 100Mbps...only around 7 to 8MB/s on average...now can goes to over 90MB/s max (even hitting 100MB/s) and average over 50 MB/s, minimum being 20 MB/s++.

Transfer speed using gigabit connection is indeed blazing fast
Btw, what firmware version are you using?
The official one or b-rad's firmware?

Err...what's b-rad?? I only use official firmware. Dun like hack this hack that.

Added on November 22, 2010, 5:15 pmIf i remember correctly, the DNS is referring to the DNS of your Internet provider. For Streamyx, it's
202.188.0.133
202.188.1.5

Other's i dunno...check with your Service Provider, or maybe from the software config. I am sure the DNS is somewhere there in the modem setup.

Also make sure ur gateway is correct, (for those using modem router to streamyx like me)...192.168.1.1 (usually by default).

Thanks for the dns server number, I'll try that
It still puzzles me why I still couldn't get youtube to work

It's actually called WDLXTV, made by b-rad
Allows to do lots of cool stuff
Another new feature I like is that you can change the default background for wdtv
use plugins, my 2 favourite plugins so far are subdownlder(allows to download subtitles when watching movies)
and MediaNavigation( adjust volume, seeks time etc)
Most importantly displaying moviesheets



And yeah this movie was awesome
You can get more info at
http://forum.wdlxtv.com

bro how to enable that subdownlder, seems interesting...

Nice sharing.

Btw, can i revert back to official firmware if i don't want it? The latest official firmware fix a lot of issues of all those non working files. Maybe need to wait for a new version base on latest official firmware?

Wow so foreign to me. Must do some research.

No need. You already have a modem/router for ur streamyx right? Just buy the switch. Connect the LAN port on your modem/router to the gigabit switch. Connect all your PCs, WDTV, XBOX, PS3 etc to the switch. Nothing to configure. Think of it like a power extension cord for the LAN port.

Added on November 22, 2010, 9:53 pmI double checked my settings...seems like my Gateway and DNS also the same....192.168.1.1...dun ask me why...it works. I am using static IP btw.
