  1. An option to disable Audio over HDMI

    This is a very important option. Cause everytime I play a movie file without digital output, I have to mute the TV. If I don't do so, I have sound on TV and AVR at same time and the TV Speakers blast me away. On my Yamaha DVD Player I have the option and it is very useful. THX

      • more remote ir codes

        I like your cheap little remote that comes with this.
        Lots of people use universal remotes that have
        all kinds of macros and what not. I personally have
        a philips pronto. So, I program the pronto and toss
        the original remote back in the box.

        I would like you to support more IR codes that I could
        take advantage of with a universal remote:

        1. Power ON (not a ON/OFF toggle)
        2. Power OFF
        3. Audio stream selection (no need to enter menu)
        4. Subtitle selection (no need to enter menu)
        5. Replay w/Subs (jump back 10s and turn on…

              • Auto-generation of video thumbnails (esp. AVCHD)

                Windows Vista can auto-generate a thumbnail (based on the first frame) for most of the common video formats, so why can't WDTV? Is the CPU not powerful enough?

                This would be especially useful for those of us with HD camcorders using AVCHD format, because we could instantly see which clips we want to play. Currently it is extremely time-consuming and complex tp make thumbnails manually.

                          • Autorun

                            I would appreciate this autorun feature. For Example, Tvix 6500, have the possibility to create a folder named "AUTORUN" on the inside HDD. On that folder you can put what kind of files you want, i used it for music, and it plays. The good reason it's that you can listen to your favorite music without open the TV. So i am wondering why something like this cannot be applied also on WD. I power the media center and it starts to play from my usb device all the music i have in AUTORUN folder, in random mode. COLLLLL. PLSSSSSSSS…

                            • Fix *.MS-DVR navigation problems and add *.WTV support for Windows Media Center recordings.

                              The old Windows Media Center records in *.MS-DVR files which WD TV does play. However, if you try to fast forward or rewind at any speed past 2x (eg. skip commercials) there are many problems: the displayed video is vastly out of sync with the actual video time so you can not visually determine where you are, and in many cases attempting to navigate will cause the video to stop playing or return to the start. Very frustrating.

                              I'm not sure if these navigation issues are strictly a problem with MS-DVR files or mpeg2 video in general, but either way…
