  1. Select default media access type and hide other option.

    I would like to hide MEDIA SERVERS from the video menu if ive selected to use NETWORK STORAGE and vice-versa. this hide / unhide funcitnality could be added to the system settings menu. would create a more fluid and easier-to-use GUI.

    • Associate media type with media menu

      I DONT want to see all shares from my server when im in any given menu - i want to be able to associate my DVD share with the video menu so that thats the only share i see when I select VIDEO, my photos share with the photos menu etc. seriously annoying. in the current implementation on the WD TV LIVE, where is the point in having different menu items for different media types if everyting shows up anywhere.?

      • More lossless formats support such as APE, WavPack etc

        Support more lossless formats such as APE, WavPack etc. are critical for me and my friends who uses WD TV Live / Gen2. I believe that media players can replace devices such as CD players. The sound quality when playing FLAC on WD TV just exellent, but lacks support for other lossless formats. For some reason support for APE is only implemented in WD TV Mini model :(

              • I recently bought a new cam that record in 1080p50. WD TV manages only 50i and not 50p!

                WD TV can't manages the new video format 50p, but in the next future this will be the standard for high end cam.
                Should be possible implement this features?

                            • Add support for DV codec

                              The only logical codec the box is missing is the ability to play the DV MPEG2 spec. With the proliferation of DV tapes and DV files digitzed to hard drives on home computers, it would only makes sense that this codec be added to the system. As this is a flavor of MPEG 2 and free codec SDK's are available for porting, PLEASE include this on the next firmware update.
                              This format has been so popular, it really needs to be included and would make this little powerhouse SO much more VALUABLE!

                                    Endless possibilities for digital signage with choice /interactive customer experiences if menu can be made compatible with touchscreens, not just via remote. I'm not a computer programmer but stilI want the ability to change self-created content quickly, a menu that uses the filenames as titles, and a menu screen able to be navigated by touchscreen. This eliminates a mouse, remote control, or external periphery that can be tampered with in a public place.

                                    Nothing like this on the market AT ALL! If you want a menu with selection buttons, someone has to write a flash program to power it. If…

                                        -better search engine (something like iTunes does: I type a word and it shows me all the bands, songs, albuns and genres names that include that word, in separated fields)
                                        -album cover auto search (through internet)
                                        -lyrics (displayed during playback, with auto search too, maybe)
                                        -playlists on the fly (as already suggested)
                                        -playlist management (create, delete, edit, etc, as already suggested)

                                        • DTS master audio(7.1 hd sound)

                                          that is what wd support team wrote to me:"Yes, the WD TV Live is capable of produce digital sound thru the HDMI cable, but only if this files have two channel audio track"....SO...by wd tv, dd true hd is sent to avrs via hdmi but dts master audio isnot..maybe because dts 7.1 uses more than two hdmi channels. new wd tvs should send hd sound to avrs without any problems. it must support more than two channels or the channel number that dts 7.1 needs via hdmi. another problem is wd cannot send video signals through both anolog via composite…
