Whatever I try, it fails to see this drive.
#REPLAY MEDIA CATCHER IPLAYER PC#
I have to say I am at a loss as to how mapping a network destination to drive on a PC will be picked up by my WDTV, especially when that PC is turned off? (Mind you, off or on, it still does not work!). I have mapped the drive to a drive letter on my PC and on that PC it appears under “Network” and I can access it and read and write to it. I can see no other way of turning this off. When you say turn off homegroup, do you mean leave the homegroup, in which case it no longer exists. Homegroup no longer appears in the directory, just “Network”. Things seem to be a little different now.

In Windows 7 and Windows 8 there no longer seems to be the option to name the homegroup.

You can d/l and install the “rollback” version of the firmware if you need it.

What does matter is one is computer savvy, and knows where to look for help info to read when it is necessary.ĭO NOT use the latest/current WDTV firmware – there are network and mp4 file-playing issues that can be avoided by using the previous firmware. One’s age hasn’t much to do with this – I am same age as you. Windows Help has some tips as well as the WD FAQs.īTW, I have around 30 devices connected/sharing/serving on my home network two are WDTVs w/drives. Setting up a WIndows-based home network is not easy when one first starts to do so, (I once had to start at ground zero, too) but once done it can become “easier”. I do not use passwords for shares (not necessary and causes problems): see first post of this thread:Īlso it is adviseable to turn OFF WIndows Homegroups – it is a WIndows to Windows thing only.
You need also be in the same workgroup, which the WD and the Win7 PC have as defaults with the name WORKGROUP (check to see if this is the case). Map the drive with the WD Discovery utility. You then need to map the drive to the Windows sharing features.
You should be able to connect the WDTV to your router via a wired connection or wireless. Drive must be connected BEFORE turning on WDTV not afterward. The WDTV likely needs a drive w/data connected to it – as least that was the condition when I hooked up mine. You should not need to enter a network address to connect the WDTV. No one said that here, although since, 1) most people do not even know there is a complete UG online here, and 2) the other half don’t bother to read it, and is why I suggested he get the UG and read through it.ĭid the next suggestions I gave to compease help you at all? I have mapped the share as a network drive and WDTV still fails to see it under WINDOWS SHARES or MEDIA LIBRARY. At my age (mid to late 60s) this stuff gets a bit difficult.Īnyway, “Compease”, if you find a solution, do let me know, please. But, of course, I could be missing something. I can find no way of entering the network address for my netshare into the WDTV box. We are trying to set up a Netshare between the router and the WDTV Live box. Why do some people have to be so unhlepful with replies like “go away and read the documentation”. But that is an entirely different problem). (As discussed in another thread, I am also trying to get my Iomega NAS to work properly with my WDTV. I am having exactly the same issue with a Netgear router and associated USB drive.
