WDTV and newer MKVs

Can't play period, or just no audio?

Haven't used mine in a month +, but the last issue I was having was getting no audio. Had something to do with an update to mkv tools. You could either mux it with the latest version and uncheck some box for an audio option, or simply use an older version and mux it and it would work fine again on the WD.

Can't play period. When attempting to play a video, it would just hang at the loading screen.
Not sure if this might help.
I'm using a WDTV Live + Thermaltake Blacx + 2TB WD Green HDD.
When its "loading", I don't see any activity from the hdd. It seems like its just idling. I'll try the remuxing method though and report back.
 
havent had any problem with mine. its like 2 years old ish WDTV. Its played my bluray rips (home made) just fine as well as all the soccer games i download (both 720p and SD)

Only issue i have had was it wouldn't fast forward/rewind the last bluray encode i did

Anyone notice that the WDTV can't play newer MKV's? Does anyone know how to fix this?

It has something to do with the new MKV Merge Header compression (or something like that).

2 Fixes:
1. When you rip or convert your files you have to disable it or opt it out.
2. WDTV releases a new firmware update to support the new MKVs

I had the same issue with my Nixeus Fusion HD (uses the same sigma designs 8655 as the WDTV Live) and after I reported it to them they released a new firmware to support it in almost a week...😵
So everything is fine and dandy again and I don't have to do anything on my end except update the firmware.
 
the live? or the older?
i rarely use mine but when i did, yea it could throw fits on certain mkvs at random times.
