Makes this device just useless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) I have all my media files on my synology ds110j nas. My network is run off a gigabit switch and everything is physically conencted via cat 5. I can connect to the samba drive via network drive on wdtv live plus. I can play the movie but it keep stopping the movie after a few mins. Regardless if its a 1080p movie or just a normal avi tv show. I get booted back to the list of media files. I have a popcorn hour player and it works fine with 1080p dts movies. No disconnects no freezing nothing. With this player I can barely get through a movie on this player with out it stopping. With the 1080p movies it freezes for a good 30 sec or so then goes back to the media list. I cant stand this disconnect anymore. I have the latest firmware on the box. Any help would be great. HELP... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I was thinking of going to brad firmware but not sure. Does brad firmware work well for samba media player on this wdtv live plus? Does it have the new netflix player that is out? Can i go back to stock firmware with out any issue? Any additional info would be great. HELP!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
