Device Security

Hello,

I have tryed the option “Device Security”. Than I set back the “Folder Lock” to “Disable” (and “Parent Control” to “Off”).

But I  can not see the before locked folder on my PC. Neither unter “Network”  nor as net drive in WinXP-Explorer.

On the WD-Player I can see it.

And second:

The device will not synchronize the USB-HD attached to the Player. I have set "Sync From USB Storage “to” Sync all files. But it won’t. Neither pics, vids or audio nor other files.

What can I do?

Many thanks from Germany

Addition:

The maualy sync at switch on works. But it asks only a few seconds and the automatic sync, like I told, dosn’t work.

I’m pretty sure that’s the way it’s supposed to work.

How would there be anything new on the drive that needs to be synced if it was never unplugged or powered off?

Are you adding files over the network to the USB drive?

First: Thanks for answering.

Yes, that’s the only way I do, since the player has an ethernet port and you can handle the drives like normal network drives.

Ok. It won’t do it automaticaly. But why does it not copy my .txt from the USB drive to the internal drive?

And why can’t I see the unlocked folder on the internal player drive from the Explorer file manager from LAN? “Network Share Server” is “On” (and DLNA Media Server  is on too)

Why won’t it copy TEXT?   Because text files aren’t media files or anything relating to media.   Why would you want to put Text files on your hub?

But under SETUP / OPERATION / SYNC FROM USB STORAGE you can shoose Sync ALL files (beside MEDIA FILES ONLY).

That 1TB drive is the biggest at the moment. So I take it for backup.

Oh, thank you. :smileyvery-happy:

Ok, it is a bug of actual firmware!?

Yeah, it’s a bug.
