    Hi folks,

    I'd love to see wireless keyboard support on the WD TV Live (without having to use B-rad's custom firmware) and I'd like chapter thumbnails to appear if I pick chapters from MKV files. Selecting from 'chapter 1, chapter 2, etc etc is really pretty useless without having a thumbnail or something (timeline?) to indicate where it is in the movie.

    Thanks. Dave.

    USB keyboards do work with official FW, though not wireless ones AFAIK.

    WDUser - thanks - good to know as the manual doesn't mention it and I couldn't find any reference to using keyboards with the WDTV Live online unless using b-rad's custom firmware. Will give it a shot tonight!

    You know what, I remembered reading something about this so I searched the forum, and apparently some wireless keyboards work too!

    As for the manual, I think this feature has been added only in the ongoing betas (which also add DVD menu support), so none of these improvements have made it to the manual yet.

    Thanks for the update - wireless would be much better. Will try it when the latest firmware comes out and see what happens.
