And even if Apple eventually releases a more compelling aTV that I’d clearly want it’s not like the WDTVL is a major investment that would hurt to replace.Even though tests from May 2016 to the 28th March of 2017 were successful, Geniatech / EyeTV had to find out that the new technical circumstances of DVB-T2 HD as of the 29th March of 2017 did not match those of the almost one year test period.īased on the new technical conditions big parts of quality assessment and decoding software had to be rewritten, newly structured and adapted to the new conditions. Likely I’d be quite satisfied with either player (both being significant upgrades from EyeHome), though might possibly prefer having WDTVL after migrating to HDTV. I don’t recall it stuttering with EyeHome playback in the past but that’s just with a wimpy analog recording. It doesn’t even stutter on the Big Bang Theory opening montage - if you’ve seen it on other boxes you know what I mean.įunny you’d pick that as an example since I’ll be watching last night’s BBT episode a bit later, though this week I trimmed the opening when editing out the commercials. I’ve wirelessly streamed full 1080p files without skipping a beat and this box has the horse power to play almost anything. Was there any major reason that convinced you to pick WDHDL or just a combination of factors that leaned in its favor? I’m pretty much convinced that Playback is an essential add-on for improving WDHDL usage with OS X. I use Playback on OS X and it works flawlessly. I was in the exact same situation a few weeks ago and I haven’t regretted my WD HD Live purchase for a moment. Shortly after it originally came out I read some blog post about getting it to work with 480i even though the specs don’t mention it, but obviously I’d need to confirm that. Since AppleTV only supports HDTV, I think you have your answer. I would certainly like to know if somebody found a way to do that. Also it may be possible to find other media server software which are able to expose iTunes’ playlists to the WDTV Live, but I don’t know about them. There are tools out there to read this file and export the playlists as M3U or PLS files, which are readable by the WDTV Live. There is no browser on the WDTV Live and I’m not aware of any plan to get one running and to access browsers on other computers, one would need some kind of remote desktop software, which is even less likely to be included in the future.Īs for iTunes, the problem is that Apple don’t support the Upnp/DLNA standard which the WDTV Live supports, and conversely, iTunes can act as a media server but using only the Apple-proprietary DAAP protocol which the WDTV Live does not support.įurthermore, iTune’s playlists are not stored as standard M3U or PLS files, but are embedded in an XML database. I’m afraid the short answers to your questions are “no” and “no”.
