Problems, again and again. I just want to play dvd's / ts-files. Had many problems with the network and now it can't play the ts-files.

Is there any info on wireless keyboards that I can use for this device???

@Goudenkooigevecht Keyboards with factory-paired USB dongle mostly work. I'd advice you taking Logitech's ones & they are the best ;)

Hi b.rad´s WDLXTV support this feature? (Bluethoot Keyboard) and obiously needed an usb Bluetooth adapter, is correctly?

[Goudenkooigevecht]

@soyanutella I will try it out and buy one i can return if it doesn´t do the job...

THANKS for the info, good luck!!!

@ElAmorDeYei The main problem is not processing power but you know some legal limitations such as activating acceleration under software other than the stocks one. WD TV Live & Live Plus have virtually the same chips but the latter has an added support for DRM protection. SIGMA has to allow it before developers can fully use all the hardware onboard.

But yeah there is a port of webkit browser on WD TV Live but it is really sluggish because of these legal issues.

@soyanutella GREAT i updated it and is working now, AMAZING, they have to do 2 things now, create a way to turn your media player off and on with a combination of keys stroke and find a web browser capable of handling Flash and all his crashing, if a Blackberry can do web browsing why this media player can't with a better CPU and RAM?

@ElAmorDeYei A new WD TV Live firmware has been pushed yesterday, it corrects some issues with hotplugging USB keyboards + other things about FB Deezer interfaces : download.wdc.com/wdtv/wdtvlive­_1.04.17_V.zip

@ElAmorDeYei You should try but seems like a power issue to me.

[ElAmorDeYei]

@soyanutella Yes I know, i got the latest one from WD page, but still not letting me use my Dell Keyboard, should i do a downgrade then upgraded back?

@ElAmorDeYei What firmware are you on ? The latest official firmware brings a better support for keyboards + Facebook + Weather + other streaming platforms.
