WDTV mini is now on sale at P 2,800.00 at Octagon Megamall. I bought one for my father there are Few units left 

[jeyps11_c]

Ang WDTV mini ba eh parehas lang ng features ng 1st gen WDTV? Or may difference?

Never mind -- wala pala HDMI ang WDTV and wala pa din DTS decoder.

Yup! di kaya ng mini ang MKV. I will give this to my father just to play all .avi format movies on my files,he's just using CRT TV that's why i choose this player so simple & cheap. Silicon Valley still sell this at P 4.7 K

may mga .m2ts movies ako (1080p pero under 4gb lang) ... problem ko ay distorted yung audio pag sa wdtv pero kapag sa pc ko pinanood ay maayos naman ...

[kimpOy]

somebody gifted my a gen 1 WDTV media player and i have been using it on my CRT and RPTV via composite cable (RCA) for which my two tvs doesnt offer hdmi.
i have no problem viewing .avi but why it doesnt play the audio in the .mkv files also in my home movies via Canon 500D (H.264 video,linear PCM audio)
 
my question is the RCA the reason why is doesnt play the audio of the .mkv and my Canon Vids
thanks

[Weng!]

gen1 wdtv does not play audio of mkv files encoded in DTS (hardware limitation and licensing). play an mkv with Dolby audio and it should work.

no idea why i does not play audio from a canon cam.

probably you have DTS encoded mkv, you need DTS capable AVR to play those mkv. WDTV will not downscale it to stereo kasi.
Pag AC3 yun audio ng video pwde pa. 

[kimpOy]

i see so i have to be selective on .mkv files, and i have to convert my canon home movies to avi i guess...

thanks guys.

after a week of trial and error finally napagana ko na yung custom firmware... now enjoying playing around the wdtv...

[bibfortuna]

mga sir, question. may wdtv ver. 1. my player cannot play mkv files since last week. di ko sure kung may kinalaman sa disk space ko. i'm using 1.5 tb western digital element. when i check the disk space malaki pa sya nasa 200gb pa. did you encounter any problem with your wdtv?

thanks in advance.

Do you have a link to the custom firmware? Also, ano difference from the regular firmware?

got same wtv version and recently incountered problems on some mkv files. I read that it has to do with incompatible video codec. Only solution is to reset the unit but have to change audio output to digital.

Kahit if you connect it to a amp no dts parin ba?  Do u connect via hdmi or optial?

[bibfortuna]

if your receiver can decode dts, no problem even mkv movies with dts sound.

[simonzaide]

I'm trying it via connected via hdmi to my amp kaso no audio parin is there any settings I need to do or do I need to connect via optical cable

[jeyps11_c]

First make sure na may decoder and AVR for the specified audio. Second siguro is to check the settings sa WDTV. Make sure naka digital audio output. astly, kung ayaw sa HDMI try using an optica l cable for the sound then HDMI for the video.

Ganito ba set up mo: WDTV --HDMI--> AVR --HDMI--> TV? Kasi naka HDMI ka going to AVR so I am assuming you are outputting your video via the amp as well then gong to the TV.

[simonzaide]

Yes wdtv - hdmi-  amp-  hdmi-  tv

Actually its my friend who is having the problem im just trying to help out

He is using an onkyo 508

He can't seem to output the dts on mkv files thru his hdmi will lend him an optical cable to try it if kaya

Thanks

[jeyps11_c]

Try to separate it baka gumana.

WDTV --HDMI--> TV
WDTV --OPTICAL--> AVR

Tapos change the WDTV settings to digital audio.

Minsan ganyan din yung WDTV ko, 3-day old pa lang.

Pagkabili ko ganyan na.  Ang naging solution, wiggling USB cable minsan pati HDMI cable - maluwag kase.  Tried other HDMI cables ganun pa ren pero sa PS3 ko isang saksakan lang okay na.

Found similar problems:

Yung mga may ganitong problema, pano nyo nasolve sa inyo?  Still have til this Saturday to have it replaced.  Ang problema, after Christmas pa dating nung replacement units.

Siguro, busy-busihan na lang muna pagkabalik ko ng unit.

No problems with my WDTV Live but I agree that the usb slots looks fragile, but I don't have any connection problems naman.

Since minsan we use flash drives and hindi maiwasan tanggal-kabit-tanggal-kabit ng usb, what I did was use a usb hub with a very short usb cable para kahit masira man yun madali palitan. HTH

Sorry, mali tanong ko.

USB sa gilid no prob kabit-tanggal.  Pero yung asa likod maluwag.  Konting magalaw disconnected na.  I-mighty bond ko kaya...hehe.. 

One time just had to unplug power cord and plug ule, okay.

What I'm most particular with is the HDMI output.  Parang antenna ng mga sinaunang tv, kailangan hanapan ng pwesto para gumana.  Once makita, no prob na basta wag ng gagalawin.

Ganito rin sa inyo?
