Me.

I connects it to my Yammy RX-V520 and Samsung HTIB for 2nd unit.

1) Ensure you set the the output in your WDTV Live sound setting to "Digital".
2) Ensure you set your AVR to correct channel (ex: DIGITAL IN/AUX IN/DVD etc)

I suggest u try a movie with DTS/DD5.1 Most entry level/older AVR can't decode other standards, but it should still passthrough as normal dolby pro logic (ex: AAC track).

You still should be able to get sound...maybe as Dolby pro logic. Usually, if i have a non DTS/DD track like AAC, the sound will be much softer on my Samsung HTIB...have to turn up the volume.

You should check your AVR whether DD/DTS/Dolby Pro Logic lights up. That will tell you what soundtrack it is.

Nothing to configure. Same like my Yamaha AVR. All i have to do is to select the proper input source (ex: 'Digital In' on my Samsung, DVD/DTV on my Yamaha). One thing though, if like my Yamaha, you can set it to 'Auto' to auto detect DTS/DD soundtrack. If you force select 'DTS' and your soundtrack is DD, then nothing come out. My Samsung don't have such function though, just auto-detect. Maybe u check if ur Pioneer is set to 'Auto' to detect the soundtrack automatically.

Press >> or << (shows ff/rw X2/X4..etc). While in this mode, press the Skip Next (foward or backward). It'll jump time by 10 minutes either foward or backward.

What is ur router/ap model? Are you setting it to Wifi-N 300Mbps? And set it to Wifi-N only mode to test?

You'll get better performance by setting to Wifi-n only, instead of mixed mode. But is ur wifi N150 or N300? If N150, you'll get slower speed. I suggest u use a PC with TVersity to test out the speed before using the MAC to confirm some streaming issues.

(2) Yes. Coz most likely ur AVR cannot decode AAC. But i think on my WDTV it still can play...but the sound is very soft....i don't have many AAC movies anyway...either DTS or DD51.

Added on January 4, 2011, 6:42 pmI dun think that is possible lor....browsing web would requires a hell lot more processing power i think. Simple plug in to some specific service is possible...but not full blown browser with all bells and whistles.

Tried 30GB+ Pirates of the Carribean, streams fine over LAN (backbone Gigabit, PC server running on gigabit port)....WIFI-N300 also ok...will stutter rarely, but generally it's very smooth

No problem. Tested that on 1GB Network backbone and also WIFI-N300.

Yep, works fine here. Automatically set my TV to 1080/24p when detected the MKV rip at 24fps.

Hi guys, long time no visit this thread. AS some of you might know, i've previously setup a wireless N300 network to stream HD previously and it was working fine. However, recently, it is not working to stream my huge MKV files...even 8GB files will stutter after a few minutes....previously all was fine, even 30GB+ uncompressed BD files....i suspect it could be the neighbours WIFI-N interfering...anyway was pretty fed up.....today i bought this:

http://www.aztech.com/my/homeplug_hl115ep.html

500MBPS Home power plug and dump my WIFI-N300...

It was a risk...spent about RM290 including the network cables (the box came with cables, but too short for any real use). The unit was RM130 apiece.

Glad to say, it is working great! All files works perfectly including the 30GB+ uncompressed files. I can't tell the exact speed of the network for the powerline but when streaming the movies i noticed this in my file server (gigabit network).

< 10GB Mkv files - 1%++ of the network used (so about 10MBps++).
30GB+ uncompressed BD - 3.XX% of the network used (so about 3x MBps++).

The thing is, the unit must be plug at the wall or at the first extension before breaking out to another extension. Do not plug it into an extension share by many other elewctronic gadgets. When i do this, i get the lowest speed (indicated by the lights on the unit...red, amber , green(best) ). Once i plug it out to the wall or first extension level breakout, it turns green...and the 30GB++ file dun lag anymore.



Oh yeah, my house here is quiet old, so looks like old power wiring also ok. So no problem. I say ditch the WIFI and get yourself wired!!!

PS: Make sure your house is running on Single Phase Power. If it's more than 1 phase, some points will be on different network, so can't be used.

WARNING: The latest 1.06 firmware has a serious bug...it WON'T REGCONIZE STREAMING FROM TVERSITY anymore!!! Your folders and files will simply not shown and it'll tell you there's no files in the folder.

Revert to 1.05 = another serious bug, can't control the movies (remote no response) after you start a movie...need to power off/on.

Revert to 1.04=most stable version where everything including TVERSITY works.

So people running on TVERSITY or maybe other streamers beware!

The WDTV forums has already a lot of talks on this, where all the TVERSITY users having the same problem.

Damn..when are they going to release a new firmware? The 1.06 is full of bugs...(remote can't work, TVERSITY can't work)...and everytime i start up, i am pestered to update the firmware. Is there anyway to disable this auto new firmware checking???

The 100Hz/120Hz thing depends on the TV, not the media player.

Added on September 29, 2011, 5:21 pmYessss!!! Totally pissed..........still no new firmware to fix the bugs...some of this issue (TVERSITY not working) has already been reported since the day they launched the new firmware in the WDTV forum....WTF....

Still stuck 1.04xxx

ASUS Oplay no good? Why? Share please...

I stream using TVersity from my PC...my HDD in an external USB storage box (with 4 HDD inside)...basically, there is no limit...limit only by your $$$$...but i just use Windows 7 to do the job, no need FREENAS. Pentium dual core (C2D era?) is powerful enough to run Win 7 PC server. it's way better than a NAS. Streaming movie is a much better protocol than just fileshare...especially huge HD movie files....Streaming is smooth, Fileshare will sometimes lag. With PC, it's also easiear to download files and search web for files to download. Either torrent or direct downloads (uploaded to, netload, rapidgator etc).

Wah lau..how can you turn a media player into a router??
Thats like turning a car into a bus station!
