Have to restart device after each video playback or if left for a while

WD Legacy Products WD TV Live & Live Plus

I started having this problem with my old Western Digital TV Live Plus box.

So, then I decided to get a new one.  I like the new firmware, but this new box does the exact same thing.

I can only play one video, then I have to cycle power inorder to play another one.

What is going on?

I think it might be a network issue, but what on the network could be causing such a problem?

I am streaming my videos from a Windows Share from either a Windows XP PC, a Windows 7 PC or a directly connected USB drive.

I really like the WDTV box.  I just want it to work…

Help!

Any thoughts anyone?

Maybe you should try contacting WD’s Technical Support about this. You can do so either by phone or email.

So you don’t rexperience this when playing files from USB? Network issues on the WDTV are mainly cause by master browser and UPNP. Use the search function.

I have the exact same problem. After i play one file - i have to reset the box to play the next. Very frustrating!

It just keeps turning that round arrow until it goes into screensaver :frowning:

After several years of flawless performance, 2 months ago my WD TV Media crashes without warning. Does anyone know if Western Digital monitors our feedback and is working on this problem
