    How does WDTV resume feature function ? I find that the resume function on my Xvids is flaky with firmware 1.02.10 or it may be something i'm doing.
    Everything works for a couple of days but then all the resume points for different Xvids disappear and videos must be started over.Are the resume point stores on the HD ?
    I have a 500GB drive that is unplugged when the WDTV is powered off to add content but this seem to work fine, if power is cut to the WDTV are the resume points lost

    Any Ideas ?

    Hello, Once the HD is unplugged from the WDTV all resumes are lost.

    neverlift, are you sure about this? As far as I can make out, info. re. the resume points is stored in the Media Library on the HDD (in the root folder called .WD_TV). If the drive hasn't been ejected properly or is corrupted or that dir. is deleted etc., the resume points will be lost but otherwise they seem to work fine even after unplugging a drive, adding content and then plugging it in again.

    Well I am not 100% sure but I know with my WDTV v1.0 once I pull the hdd from the usb my saves are gone. Im using ext3 boot custom on mine with no other added features, so that might be the problem. I should've thought before I posted.

    Just tried the WDTV Live ran a movie stopped and unplugged the USB hdd... plugged back in and the resume was still there. You're right it is stored on the external HDD in the wd_tv folder, so like WDUser suggests it could be a faulty drive or one that has been ejected improperly. Sorry again for the misleading advice.

    Cheers!

    I appreciate your advice, I am trying to figure this out maybe I need to eject the drive when it is powered up to ensure
    the resumes are saved

    Thanks again
