Problem: WDTV live and WD My Book World Edition
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:03 pm
Hello,
I am currently experiencing some problems with my WDTV live and a WD NAS. I am using the WD My Book World Edition II (white lights) with a Twonky Media Server 5.1 running on it.
1. Is there any possibility to view thumbnails for my video files (tried Folder.jpg and videoname.jpg) via LAN? I connected a USB device and it worked perfectly! But when searching my MyBookWorld no thumbnails are shown. I see only a Thumbnail if I choose VIDEO/ALL VIDEOS and if I had saved my video file in a separate folder with a Folder.jpg in it...
2. I am not able to delete files using the WDTV live file management, when I connect as admin to the Twonky Media Server 5.1 running on my MyBookWorld. An error appears: Cannot delete protected file. Why protected??
Is there a possible connection to point 1 (no thumbnails via LAN/Twonky)?
3. The Twonky Media Server 5.1 allows to choose some end devices in the configuration. My WDTV live is automatically identified as "WD TV HD Live Media Player". So why doesn't the WDTV live and the WD MyBookWorld with Twonky cooperate really? When I start my WDTV live and click an VIDEO, I can select the MyBookWorld/Twonky Server. But after that I see all the shared folders: Video AND Music and Pictures. When I discovered the Twonky profile for the WDTV live I expected an optimized sorting of media folders for the purpose of saving some clicks...
I already tried so change the navigation settings in Twonky (folders, ipod-style, advanced...) but that did not help.
Is there anybody who can help me with these problems?
regards
Michael
