Support for network adapters and network shares
Support for some wired and wireless adapter chipsets.
Support for playing media from network shares (NFS and Windows) and UPnP DLNA.
Most of the work behind it's just done by custom firmwares, so it couldn't be so difficult to add.7,053 votes -
USB drive power off
Powering down of HDD/USB after turning off
6,935 votesThe current product is not capable of completely turning off the USB bus. The latest firmware (1.02.07) will spin down drives, but their LEDs may stay on, which can make it seem like the drives are still on.

Gapless audio
Even when the audio file itself does not contain undesirable gaps, software, firmware and hardware design often add gaps during playback. In some cases, software closes and re-opens the output stream when switching tracks, causing the hardware to create a very short "click". This problem is solved in more sophisticated designs of gapless playback.
A different design problem relates to software/firmware/hardware which are not ready to seamlessly move to the next track by the time the current track is complete. In this scenario, the listener is left waiting in silence as the player locates the next file, reads it, decodes…

support for more reframes on mkv files
The WD-TV only has support upto 4 reframes. Large MKV files above 12 gigs are mostly coded 5 or 6 frames. Those files cant be played because they give very choppy and blockery image.

Change Arabic subtittle font
The latest WD TV Live firmware's support Arabic encoding BUT.... the font used is not a good one and viewers don't feel comfortable with it.
I suggest to change it to another one and (Arial) could be a good choice.3,716 votes -
Compressed Header in Matroska
Matroska has a compressed header feature that is now the default in mkvmerge. It works in the Popcorn Hour but not in the WD TV. And this is a standard MKV feature that works on all PC players.

Add Arabic subtitle support
Currently there is no Arabic subtitle srt support. In order to view arabic subtitles we need to convert them to IDX/SUB files.
It would really help if WD could add arabic support.3,243 votes -

BBC iPlayer support for WDTV Live
This would be a MASSIVE selling point in the uk. For me it's what is holing me back from getting the live rather than just gettin the WDTV 2nd gen.

feat: set framerate/fps based on source
it would be nice if it chooses output frequency based on the source. ie 23,97, 24, 25, 29,97 , 30
ofcourse it should take into account the compatibility of the TV, since some tvs dont support certain frequencies.
should also take into account the analog connected TVs/WDs! For example if i have it set on pal, it should output in either 25, 50 or 60 fps (if im correct?).
