I have upgraded wdtv to wdlxtv 5.8.1 including ssh,nfs,wireless apps . Its connected to belkin wireless adaptor and working fine.
Recently i have deleted "config" file from conf folder by mistaken. then picture was not coming so i have manually added some entries using config tool . Now wdtv is working fine.
But I have not rebooted the wdtv after that . Now I have question that will everything work fine after reboot or not ?
If not then can anyone provide basic config file options which is required after reboot of WDTV ?

Now they have three firmwares to work on. Live, generation 1, and generation 2. Soon or later, they'll have to cut down their work. I just feel sad that I bought the WD TV generation 1 not to long ago, now i'm stuck with it.
I put the B-rad software in my wdtv. I can see my IP number but that's all. It keeps searching and does'nt give me my shared folders in my computer. What can I do?

Have you specified which SMB shares to mount in the net.mount file? If not, then the WDTV doesn't actually "automount" SMB shares (god, if it did that on my home network, I'd be swamped) but only those specified in the file.
I've been working and trying to make that da.. thing to work and I tried everything but nothing works.
I've tried with nfs, cifs, no results.
Though, my IP number is there and it is in my router too, that means it is well wired and recognised.
I tried with brad software and with ext3-boot.
I put nfs server and programmed it (exports file)..and it is running well.
I shared my folders. I already have a laptop with wireless and it works super and I also have a XBox 360 connected to that router and everything is all right and I have my folders on my main computer shared so the XBox can read them too, so that's why I don't understand why it does not work on the da.. WDTV.
I have never been one to update firmware just because it is newer, but I was wondering which firmware for the WDTV seems to be the most stable and reliable for most people collectively.
Mine came with firmware version 1.01.02 and I haven't updated it because it hasn't caused me any problems.
Would another version improve anything and has it been trouble free?
Ko570a...I did the same and eventually added the samba.apps.bin file with my mount file to my usb drive and it worked as a cifs share. 1080p had some hiccups so I'm now trying to use the nfs shares...still some reading to do on that though. Don't know if you had done this but it worked for me. BB
I just installed b-rad's wdlxtv. All I really wanted was the latest official firmware + hub support (for now, thinking of playing with networking at some point). Until this point I've been running 1.07, the last fw with hub support from WD.
My setup was 1 2TB drive plugged into USB-1 and a hub w/2 500gb passport drives plugged into USB2. Originally, When I clicked on USB1, I would get the contents of my 2TB drive and when I clicked on USB2, I would get 2 icons showing the 2 drives plugged into the hub (TV1 and TV2).
Now, after upgrading to WDLXTV I have some odd behavior. My USB1 shows 2 icons even though my hub is on USB2. It shows my 2TB drive plus one of the 500gb drives. My USB2 shows the other 500gb drive.
Hopefully this makes sense. Basically, I want the hub drives to show only on USB2. And since the USB1 port doesn't have a hub - to just show the big 2TB drive on that one.
Is this just the way hubs work now or is there some setting I can adjust to change the way this works?
That's just the way it is - each drive (well, technically each partition) will display individually. Unless you want to play around with "fuse" to logically aggregate multiple partitions into one (and, no, I don't know how to do it. Might be useful later though).

If each partition or drive was displayed individually that would be great. but instead i've got USB1 with 2 subdrives (when only one is attached) and USB2 with 1 sub drive (when 2 are attached).

Sounds like you have the Library option turned off. I have mine turned on, and when I go through the "Folders" option on the main menu I see the partitions.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'partitions'. I have 3 separate drives. Are these not simply 3 separate partitions? And of course I have the media library option turned off! It's utterly useless for those of us with large numbers of TV episodes. Each TV episode is given the same 'weight' as a movie. I guess I'll just have to get used to the seemingly random assignment of drives to USB ports.
It does seem like this could be addressed in an update as I don't really care how the WDTV sees the structure, as long as I have some control over how it's displayed to me.

Lots of people (including me) held fast at 1.01.07 because that's the last official firmware that supported hubs. Subsequent firmwares have fixed various things - lots of subtitle help, some sync issues, gain issues...you can check the changelogs to see.
Basically, you should upgrade to the latest version - it's stable and there's no downside (unless you use hubs). If you do use a hub, you can get b-rad's wdlxtv which is based on the latest firmware but puts hubs back in - plus a bunch of other stuff.
plus - you can upgrade, see if you like it and downgrade if you don't. you just make a small text edit to the .ver file if you're downgrading.
