WD TV Live – Movies keep Freezing / Lagging, any ideas?
August 1st, 2016
i recently got a WD TV Live box but ive noticed when playing back movies i get frequent freezing / lag which causes me to have to reboot and retry.
Could it be due to me using a portable harddrive? I use a 2TB western digital USB3.0 – it is USB powered.
Would a mains powered HDD be better? or doesnt it matter
any help appreciated.
Hmmmm.. so why U connected to live box when u can connect direct ??
Try using a flash drive to see how that works.
It might prove if the portable HDD is suffering from lack of power.

Maybe his TV don’t play movies from USB..
I agree with as the easiest option to narrow down the problem……
Other things to try
Change the USB cable
Do a factory reset on the WD media player
Check for a factory firmware update
