![]() ![]() hopefully this helps someone in the future!! UPDATE 4 - SUCCESS!! thanks to /u/bobzillauk for solving what i've never found an answer for. did a Hard Reset but same thing.wow this is frustrating.should have never hit the Restore Factory Defaults button! either freezes or reboot loop after i plug in the LAN cable. UPDATE 3: rolled back firmware yet another version.unfortunately same problem. and then it froze after the reboot, at the "connecting to network" screen (with no Moon). i Reset using the button on the bottom and tried again - same process, but this time the device rebooted itself instead of just freezing. it turned on alright, but when i plugged in the LAN cable, it froze. only down 1 version, to 1.14.09 but surprisingly this did not help. UPDATE 2: i did the nuclear option - i.e. as soon as it gets on the network, the screen went black and just stayed there. UPDATE: tried plugging the LAN in after i boot up the device to see if that would work. So.how do i stop this from rebooting itself when it's connected to the network?!? ![]() (i also tried WIFI once, before the Restore, and same problem). but.if i plug the LAN cable in, then it gets stuck in this reboot loop again. I was finally forced to use the RESET button on the bottom of the device. then it was just stuck rebooting all the time - would go to the first screen with the Moon, then black, then the 2nd "loading" screen with no moon.then it would reboot over and over ad infinitum. The first reboot, it was stuck on the "loading" screen for 40+ mins until i shut it off. so i decided to finally do what i've never done - use that "restore to factory defaults" option in the Settings menu. ok, great.īut now for some reason the WDTV needed more frequent reboots, so that annoyed me. i had been connecting via "windows share" but now had to just switch to "network drive" and everything was still working. until this week when i had a power outage/surge, which made my WDTV start getting weird reading the network drive. Like everyone, i've had problems and bugs here and there. I've had mine for about 9 years now, mostly to watch MKV/mp4 files via LAN to MyBookLive. First, let me say how excited I am to have found this sub, since my WDTV Live still works great for me, but it's undeniably buggy and WD support seems atrocious (even when it was a new-ish device!) ![]()
