You would have seen it if you had searched. I wrote a post here yesterday about using Fire TV as a media player. The unit is slowly dying and I don’t think it has much more life left in it. Finally, we tried resetting it to factory defaults but it didn’t matter. We tried a different power strip and then plugging into a different outlet. We also tried swapping the remotes of the 2 players - still happens. We tried swapping the power cords but it still happens. It’s ok for a little while and it happens again. So we have to unplug the unit, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. We hit power on the remote and nothing happens. The player that is going bad sometimes doesn’t power on correctly. I probably will have to buy a used one for replacement. I guess there really isn’t a player that’s comparable to the wdtv. Unfortunately, all the Android devices I looked at have been discontinued. I recommend, that you never recommend this product again and warn people not to use it. What’s worse, Amazon has been caught recording private conversations and there’s an ability to ease drop with any product that uses Alexa’s voice commands. I would have to convert an additional 15% more files than the Roku, just to use it. I’m having trouble finding something that is current in 2017, so I know those other post are no longer valid.Īmazon Fire TV is even more limiting than the Roku I mentioned. Technology changes so fast that anything that is 16 months or older, is not even worth looking at. ![]() In the meanwhile, can anyone offer some suggestions on a replacement? We don’t care about apps, we just want something to stream the collection through NAS and usb HDs. Nor do we want to go into every video and add metadata information. Many of the older ones are with xvid\divx and we really don’t want to re-rip. We’ve been ripping our dvds since 2000 and have an extensive collection of thousands of videos. Doesn’t work well with a NAS storage device. It doesn’t retrieve metadata (reads from within a file), no xvid\divx and spotty Dolby Digital support. I just spoke with Roku and their top-of-the-line (Ultra 4K) player has a lot of lacking features compared to the WDTV Live. I’m wondering if anyone has been able to find something close to this player. I really wish WD would come out with a new player with x265 support because no one creates a better player than you guys. ![]() Should you wish to help on future development you can do so by visiting our forum for further questions.We really love these players but one of them is starting to breakdown after many years of quality service.
