A few newbie questions

I’ve had the WD for about a month now. Starting to get the hang of it now, and even though I’m still having issues with things like folder images not working properly (which seems to be a general issue) I still have a few questions and bugs I was hoping someone here could help answer/solve.

  1. I’m thinking about getting an external drive and plugging it into the WD. I may need to transfer files from the WD to that new drive and also from my PC to the new drive… so my question is, is that possible? And will I be able to see this drive on my network as well as the W, so I can transfer files to it directly from the pc? Or will I have to unplug it and run back and forth to the pc each time?

  2. I don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this but sometimes after having watched one movie and going on to a new one, or resuming one, it suddenly says it needs to reboot, which is fairly annoying as it takes 5-7 minutes plus because it needs to compile the library each time, anyone have any insight in this as to why it’s happening or how I can avoid that? Secondary is there any way of making it stop compiling the library each time and letting me pick when i want that done instead, like e.g. using the setup menu where the option for that is too?

Thanks

  1. Yes.

  2. Turn off the Library in the setup menu. turn it on when you want it to compile, but newly added media will only be available in folder view until it does.

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:
