At this point, in a matter of a few seconds WD TV will read your network and display the message Network Setup is completed. Turned out when i last updated windows, Windows firewall had turned itself on, and was already running avast.
Well i have been reading a lot posts and here is my solution and it has worked for both windows 7 and windows 10 Network share on WD media and WD live. The solution to this problem has been posted at the forum for quite a few years. Glad to know it got figured out in here.
So here is a link to my post in a brief and clear explanation of what is going on with the sharing access issue.
Hello everyone. I have tried all of the methods above and no joy. I am using the latest windows 10 insider preview. As it stands right now the computer shows up and shows all the files I have shared on my PC but it does not matter what I try to play it tells me to check the extension in the manual and I know they should work. Then from the same menu I choose my computer that is also in the list and it populates as before but none of the files will open.
I looks like for some reason it is not seeing the extensions on the files. I know this because when I look at the files the extensions do not show up and also looking at the file info box at the bottom right it shows the extension as the last word in the title of whatever piece I am trying to play.
I am about ready to stomp on this thing so any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance KerryP. That endlessly spinning arrow is the worst, it really is! I get it every time my Windows system gets its settings upset that can happen quite legitimately for a number of reasons. The resolutions for this, in Windows, can vary from being easy and quick to resolve, or it can be rather more stubborn.
Still, I will offer some fixes but in a more pragmatic vein, any work you do now, in Windows, on this problem, will stand you in good stead because I also guarantee it will happen to you again someday. A good practice anyway, because when you switch it on from that state it always reboots fully and re-reads libraries which can be helpful if they have been altered. So now, the sharing options explained, in Windows. This is where it can become quite complex. As you can see, this is where the sharing is really controlled from along with Control Panel.
You can alternate between Control Panel, the right-clicking of folders to be shared, and powering up WDTV, and powering it down if need be. In other words, you may need to revisit the fixes I have mentioned. But amongst these things, if you perservere, it will get the job done!
That did not work for me? Checked 4 times all Share Rules, User Login, everything, but nothing helped. Microsoft disabled SMB V1 for unsafty reasons, but many old devices still need it. This problem caused me many hours of frustration. After trying endless ways around the windows 10 update problem when trying to see network shares on my WD Live, I just reverted back to an earlier windows 10 build.
The WD now works as it should. I also stopped Windows 10 from updating itself until I hear and see on an update that repairs the WD issue. Hi Paul,its still a tricky thing for my System. Its not a smart Solution, but it works…Keep on trying…Peter Visit Topic or reply to this email to respond. In Reply To. To unsubscribe from these emails, click here. I for one have 2 WD Media Live devices but only 1 remote and its on its last leg and an older WD Plus which the remote no longer works with.
For someone who is looking for a consumer friendly device that is an alternative to the WD media devices what is available as of Dec that others would recommend and why? My goal is to replace my own WD media devices but also to start a thread that others will benefit from in the future if like m,e they come to this site looking for advice on what to do now that their own WD media device is in need of replacing. That said, the Pi3 should not even be considered anymore. Android Zombie TV Boxes, ; , multitudes of them, and are the cheapest out there.
Also, most of these cheapo China Android TV boxes, including this one, have poor quality remotes. Nice little unit that does it all. Support Downloads Knowledge Base.
