I'm having an issue with certain videos where the screen will just go black when you play it, and then when you go back any videos you click from then on will be a black screen with no audio or video. the only way to fix it i can figure out is to unplug and replug the wdtv and then everything works as long as i dont click that particular video. this has happened with a few video files and i cant figure out why. one thing ive noticed is it shows a mic and the file name at the top sometimes like its trying to play an audio file, so i tried to see if thats how its reading it but nothing shows up under music. this particular file is a 24 bit DTS audio 720p mkv. since im pretty sure its the audio thats the problem.
i am starting to wonder if my player is just going defective though. i have trouble with the remote where sometimes it will just not work unless i place it inches away from the player. then 5 minutes later it works fine. i would guess thats just a simple battery problem but its been doing that for like 8 months. its not a big deal since it rarely happens and like i said it stops happening too. very weird.. well anyways about the video problem just curious if anyone knows. the player does support 24 bit dts audio doesnt it? for me its more curious not just that the file wont play but that once it doesnt play the wdtv wont let me play anything else.
also i have what i believe is the most current firmware. im considering trying a third party firmware like b-rad's and seeing if this fixes it somehow but i dont see why it would... this is the normal wdtv hd player NOT the live (just to clarify). anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
