    WD TV Live Media Player $76.85

    $86.85 delivered, I wonder if OW will price match COTD ?

    • TRENT86 on 26/12/2014 - 23:04

      Price beat you mean? Worth a try I guess

      • jv on 26/12/2014 - 23:05

        It would take it down to $82.50… (I think they currently sell them for $99)

        Great price if you don't have one… I already have 2…

    Just be mindful that the latest firmware for wdtv is quite buggy. Assumed mine was overheating and hence why it kept crashing (couple of years old too with lots of use) downgraded firmware and no issues since.

    • nerobass on 27/12/2014 - 08:14

      How do you downgrade we are having so may issues from not turning on to it changing the default resolution.

    • hugh on 27/12/2014 - 08:41
      +1

      Press down the off button for 5 seconds to hard close the unit, otherwise it remains on standby and gets hot.
      Try turning the unit upside down to allow heat to escape as there are vents on bottom and none on the top.

    • StewBalls on 27/12/2014 - 09:13

      The latest FW on mine fixed the ABC iView app & a few other minor issues, and I haven't noticed any actual bugs since; however, they've removed a hell of a lot of the free internet TV apps that I really liked, so I'm not happy about that new 'feature' at all! :/

      • AlisonP on 28/12/2014 - 20:40

        Off the top of your head, can you name a few that have been removed? Imust say I don't use the apps much, but I'd like to know what's being removed nonetheless!

        • StewBalls on 29/12/2014 - 21:02

          Hi Alison, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to eat my words…for some unknown reason, my Movie & TV services list has gone from a meagre ~12 back up to 38 (which is approx what I recalled it being pre-update); oddly, despite no further FW changes being made since. The only difference is that the unit was physically powered down for a day over the weekend, so perhaps a hard boot was required?

          I had intended to roll it back to a previous version, but when I started the WDTV up this evening I noticed that all was now right again in the world! :)

    • Mr Wowtrousers on 27/12/2014 - 10:05

      Yeah, I gave my old one to my sis and got the new one and it freezes a bit and randomly decides it can't play any media files. Restart it (which takes forever) and it goes away.

      • CatmanAU on 27/12/2014 - 10:21
        +1

        Try and turn off the media library thing. When that gets corrupted for whatever reason it tends to have a hissyfit and wont play anything. I turned it off and have not had that problem since.

        • Mr Wowtrousers on 27/12/2014 - 15:53

          Cheers. I will try that next time. I know with the first one I had, I turned off some kind of indexing as it took forever and it played perfectly. This one is more of a "this format is unsupported, yes, I know I played it 3minutes ago" type of thing

    • praga on 27/12/2014 - 12:21

      May I please know which fw version should I install 3.10 or 2.08

      • azazal on 27/12/2014 - 18:37

        I went 2.08 I think. It's an easy process…. Just need to make sure the usb is fat32 formatted. So either use a small drive or will need to download formatting software to get around the size limitation

        • praga on 27/12/2014 - 20:39

          Thanks mate, will try that version.

    • PleasureMe on 27/12/2014 - 17:30

      I sent my back to WD for replacement. I know it's a firmware issue but I really couldn't be bothered downgrading and it was still under warranty so now I'll get a new one (hopefully with old firmware)

    Iv had nothing but problems with my WDTV, It used to be able to stream after changing a million options on computer regarding permissions and what not but now the streaming wont work and always asks for a password which i never set, and yes i have tried 0000 or nothing

    • Snoop on 27/12/2014 - 06:36

      What is it asking for a password for, the network, access the media source, child lock?

    • tyler.durden on 27/12/2014 - 07:09

      so which device would you get instead?

      roku ?

      google?

      • tonytone on 27/12/2014 - 10:21

        100% go for the Roku. we've got the Roku 3 and it is 10x better than the WDTV. The WDTV is so slow and buggy and a peice of junk compared to the Roku.

      • snuke on 27/12/2014 - 10:23
        +1

        After a bit of dicking around, I am really happy with the Nexus Player, far better than the Roku 3. I will use it as my replacement for the WD TV which does a far better job than the Roku for streaming local content.
        I have installed Kodi (XBMC) and that is what has made it worthwhile. Plex is pretty crappy for me at the moment on NP, but Kodi id so superior I don't care. I am even running it via WiFI which I usually hate, but it isn;t missing a beat now (I made a stupid setting change and it had jittery playback).
        For me, when it comes to playing back local content, i would rate it as
        Nexus Player - thanks to Kodi
        WD TV for pure ease (if you know what you're doing with permissions) od playing basically everything.
        Roku 3 for cheaper than NP if you wan't to stream non local content, but too limited for local files.
        Chromecast, can piss off.

        Amazon's Fire TV is another to consider, and probably would have been a far cheaper option for me than NP, but I didn't like their messy Amazon heavy GUI.

        • AlisonP on 28/12/2014 - 16:51

          Where did you order your nexus player from?

        • snuke on 28/12/2014 - 22:20

          @AlisonP:

          The US Google store. I used Firefox and Hola Unblocka (wouldn't work with Chrome for some bizarre reason) and a Google account also created with Hola that had all US address details. I then used Comgateway to forward the shipment to me.
          Total Cost:
          Nexus Player: Au $135.04 (USD $108.99)
          Comgateway Shipping: Au $38.13 (USD $30.51)
          USB to Micro USB adapter: $2.55
          USB Infra-Red receiver and remote: $7.20 (this allows me to use it with my Harmony 650 Universal)
          US to Aus power Plug adapter: $ Already had one.
          So a total of Au $182.92

          I have also purchased an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter so I don't have to use WiFi, it cost $35, but I don't actually need it.

    • AlisonP on 27/12/2014 - 09:38

      Permission issues on your PC have nothing to do with the quality of the WDTV. For the price and, for the most part, ease of setup, this unit can't be beat. The connectivity issues could be to do with the wifi, a firewall, windows passwords, permissions, etc. What windows version are you running?

    • notarealperson on 27/12/2014 - 09:58

      We just got rid of ours, it was fine for media streaming and Netflix, but then just suddenly stopped working. Every other streaming device in the house worked as usual, but the WDTV crapped out after about 1.5 - 2 years. My brother's one did the same thing, but sooner. Wasn't worth the headache of trying to troubleshoot it every time it randomly developed a new issue.

      Just got a Roku and it's absolutely fantastic. So much faster than the WDTV, wish we'd bought one sooner. Slightly painful setup but took about an hour overall, and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

      This product is ready to ship from our North Melbourne warehouse. Expect Dispatch in 7 - 9 days.

      But that's bs, I'd be sending it to your new address! On top of their already incredibly slow turnaround times, there will be no freight movements today or tomorrow, Wed or Thurs!

      Edit: Or go down to OW, JB or TGG and see if they'll price match today… No waiting!

    • notarealperson on 27/12/2014 - 10:01

      Do you have the Australia Post parcel lockers near you? Could be handy in a situation like this where you're not sure which address you'll be at.

      • aliocroc on 27/12/2014 - 16:27

        I do actually, but just ordered it there now and sent it to my brothers house, much easier.
        Thanks lads.

  • aliocroc on 27/12/2014 - 07:33

    Thanks Snoop, you're probably dead right, it says they have it in stock in their north Melbourne store but its a bad time of year to be relying on their word. Will go for a wander and see how charitable OW Altona are feeling.

          Not calling you a liar or nuffin', but how's about a link? ;)

        • snuke on 29/12/2014 - 22:44

          @StewBalls:

          There is an entire thread devoted to the latest firmware for the Live version and the troubles with it - http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2303211

          I had same issues with the one I got from Officeworks. It played fine, I updated firmware and it had lots of issues. Rolled back and it was fine again. Returned it as it was not a huge improvement (faster) over my WD Hub.

        • StewBalls on 30/12/2014 - 21:37

          @snuke: Hmmm, the lion's share of that thread seems to pertain to an update released in November…the one I just applied was only released mid-late December.

          FWIW, I'm still not seeing any actual issues my end based on the update applied; but it's nice to know I can roll back fairly easily if I have any hassles! ;)

          @snuke:
          @StewBalls:

          Do you guys realize that you're replying on a comment that never actually stated that they'd had problems with 2.02.32, nor may not even own a WDTV? When asked what issues, Polak never answered the question stating a single personal issue with it, but merely citing that we should go read others opinions!
          Personally I can't say that I've had any more issues with 2.02.32 than I have with any other version. It can still be temperamental at times, but usually I find there's an outlying reason for it; hasn't been reset/switched off properly for a while; other heavy network/nas activity; and for years it was simply because it doesn't like to be fed content from a piece of crap router. 90% of my issues went away after upgrading to a DSL2890!

        • StewBalls on 02/01/2015 - 09:34

          @Snoop: Simple answer, yes.

          Polak never answered the question stating a single personal issue with it, but merely citing that we should go read others opinions!

          That's entirely the point, in typical OzB fashion, Polak & Snuke are carrying on over issues that either don't exist or have been blown completely out of proportion; and as you rightly point out, neither has cited any actual experience…as usual, the only evidence is a half-arsed link that could possibly be relevant if the FW patches were being applied to a DeLorean & not a WDTV. I certainly haven't seen the wealth of supposed forum posts the naysayers are bleating on about.

          @StewBalls:

          You asked for a link, understandable as you do not have the problem. But to say another is a liar simple because you, a sample size of One, doesn't experience an issue is potentially a liar, is a bit bitchy. You now continue with the bitchy attitude, and calling me a "naysayer" for providing you with information that you requested. I am far from a naysayer in regards to WD TV, I always say that I have a great experience with mine, except that it is very slow compared to other modern media players.
          I am not sure why you have taken the position that my simple comments are in any way an attack on you and your ownership of WD TV.

          You also seem to have completely missed the point that this was all in regards to the WD TV "LIVE" Media Player, as per the title of this deal, as I mentioned in a reply. You said you updated to a December release, the "Lives' last version is 2.02.32 from August 2014, so I can only conclude that you have a WD TV non live version, the latest release. You never did bother to say what your actual firmware version was.

    Regarding abc iView - I've got one of these, maybe an older one… it WILL NOT play abc iview - it's on the latest version (says the box when I go to update firmware) v 2.02.32.

    As others have said these things are pretty rubbish in my opinion, and the fact mine won't play abc iview now, it's barely used, we only use it in the bedroom where we want to watch a FHD movie (chromecast wont do FHD), with stereo mode, we've not had any files this thing won't play, so if your after something to turn say a kids tv into something that will play downlaoded content then it's a good choice… anyway my 2c :)

        Do you have the "Live" streaming, or the latest WD TV (NO Live) came in blue box?
        The Live version has the issue with latest firmware, the newer non Live version doesn't.

          I have Live Streaming with 2.02.32 and played a couple of things from ABC iView the other night to test after reading this… No problems! (tested on 2 of my 3 machines!)

        • AlisonP on 30/12/2014 - 21:55

          @snuke The live streaming. The new one is so new the firmware is still at 1.xx.xx.

          @Snoop:

          Does yours really play iView shows when running 2.02.32? I hadn't actually played any files with my wdtv running that particular firmware, and have found it won't play iView. I didn't think they'd fixed the SSL/TLS problem yet.

          I wonder if the router is blocking TLS?

          @AlisonP:
          Nope! Just double checked then. Turns out I was playing some other kids cartoon channel on the WD… and playing iView through my tv!
          Too many gadgets, too many channels, too many shows!

    Good deal on the WD TV Live media player. Would get one at this price if I didn't already own one.

    What does WDTV even do? Is it like a PVR?

      Its a degreaser for your tv, like wd40 but designed for your tv

      You see two of those words after "WD TV"??? those words are "Media Player". They are not being cryptic, it's pretty obvious what it does from the title.
      It's a Media Player. That means it plays media. Media can be played by it. If you have media, this deice can play it.

      It does nor record like a PVR, because it's not a PVR, it's a Media Player.

      Apparently I got a box full of jerk for Christmas.

    The only purpose I have is attach a USB drive to it, have it on custom WDLXTV firmware, share via LAN.

    Other than that it doesn't beat any android set top boxes

    • AlisonP on 30/12/2014 - 21:58

      Sigh, that's the WDTV Live (not Live streaming). It has hardly any services and is well and truly end of life. This is advertising the WDTV Live Streaming, a different beast.

  • aliocroc on 27/12/2014 - 16:25

    No price match from OW Altona, the guy says COtD stocks grey imports and the warranty is different on such items…blah blah blah. No interest in price match, not really surprised. Got this one and sent it to the brothers house, problem solved.
    Thanks Op!

    • Snoop on 27/12/2014 - 17:10

      Yep… blah blah blah… bs bs bs… fOW then!

    Thanks OP. I had used code THANKYOU on Eneloops (like I need any more!) when the code first came to light on here. Just saw code SAVE10 as part of another bargain which appears to have worked when grabbing a WD TV Live.
